I used a number of different ways to obtain my audience feedback. I showed the film to my actors, I went into a year 9 history class and I sent an e-mail to some of my friends asking them to have a look at the film and then let me know what they thought of it.
The 2 main areas that came across through the audience feedback were the music and the understanding of the film.
There was an obvious split in opinion about the music. Many people said that they didn’t like it very much, that it was weird or that it wasn’t eerie or scary enough for the film. On the other hand, many people said that they really liked the music and that it suited the film well.
A lot of the year 9s I asked said that they didn’t really understand the film but I noticed that this only came through with this age group. From this, I have decided that the film isn’t really aimed at this age although it is suitable for them if they chose to watch it. As a result of this, I have adapted my target audience to suit this.
A few of the year 9s thought that the conversation about the crisps was a bit strange but at the same time they also thought it was quite funny. I think this may have been because they didn’t really understand the concept of an anti-climax ending.
Some people said that the start could have been made a bit darker. I agree with this but I had all of the lights off and I was unable to make it any darker. Had I have been able to, I definitely would have made the opening darker.
Overall, the feedback I have received is positive and no faults were to be found within the editing so I have conformed well to the task of continuity editing.
