AUDIENCE FEEDBACK ON FINISHED FILM

We asked 3 different groups for feedback on our finished film after they had watched it and their thoughts on it as well as what they thought the concept of our film was. These 3 groups were all in the age group for our target audience and we asked 1 all male group, 1 all female group and 1 mixed group on their opinions on the film. Here are some bullet points on their thoughts and notes on our film.


FACE TO FACE FEEDBACK:
Group 1: All male group
  • They liked the effect of the flashback sequence as it differed from the normal shot colors and was easily identifiable as a flashback sequence.
  • The actors and acting in our film was good and created a realistic sense of the characters to our film.
  • They couldn't pick out any faults in any sequences like breaking the 180 degree rule or any continuity errors.
  • They understood the concept clearly and understood that they hadn't ever met before but had crossed paths in their life before but not noticed each other.
Group 2: All female group
  • Liked the simplicity and the simple idea of it as a whole and thought it worked well
  • They understood the concept fully and said they really enjoyed watching it while they called the idea "awesome"
Group 3: Mixed group
  • The end is "amazing" and sets the story and the mood of it
  • They felt the emotion build up in the film right until the end and then it is all taken away
  • Prefer these credits than the previous credits as it breaks up our continuous long shot
  • Liked our use of sound effects and they blend in well e.g.  train announcements and background sound
  • Not like a stereotypical student film concept


YOUTUBE FEEDBACK
We have also had an inbox from a Youtube user leaving feedback and what he thought on our film:


FACEBOOK FEEDBACK:
Me and Hannah have both out the film up on our facebooks to our friends and we have both received some feedback from them. We will both post the different feedback responses we received from our friends on here. 



This is the second set of feedback from Facebook friends:

  1. Useful comments here. You ought to add some analysis here of these comments - eg do they reinforce your own evaluation? Do they introduce new problems you hadn't thought of? Do they highlight strengths you hadn't thought of? Keep updating this too. Perhaps look at youtube comments once it's been there for a while. Is it under our account? If not, can you also put it up there?

  2. Great additions now. Your analysis of the feedback is good, and it's really good that you've print screened the actual message. The points that are made are ones you can also use later in discussions about representation - gender, youth, ethnicities, class, and everyday realities affecting those groups. Consider the idea of collective identity - do you think your respondents 'recognise' these character types from real life? If so, your representations of collective identities are successful. Think also about the nature of this relationship - how do you want your spectator to feel at the end? Really good work again.
