1B: Nathan, Manya, Jack

To find out how well or or how bad we had done in creating the video I carried out a personal questionnaire and sent out emails to 15 people, to which I got replies from 11 people.
The question I asked them were the following:

1. What genre does this film belong to?
2. How could you tell this?
3. Who are the main character/s in the film?
4. What kind of person did they portray?
5. How can you tell this?
6. What part did you find the most interesting during the sequence?
7. How well does the locations fit the film?
8. Did the music fit the film genre?
9. Would you be interested to watch the rest of the film and would you recommend the film to others?

The replies I got are the following:

Jack's Audience Testing

To test the impact our film had on the audience I created a set of questions and sent them out via Facebook to a list of people on my contacts list. Here are the questions I asked:

1. What genre does this film belong to?
2. How could you tell this?
3. Who where the main character/s in the film?
4. What stereotype did they fall into?
5. How could you tell this?
6. What is the plotline of the sequence?
7. Did the locations fit the film?
8. Did the music fit the film?
9. Would you watch the rest of the film and why?

Here are the answers I got back:

As you can see from the results of the questionnaire I sent out, all of the people knew the film was set in the thriller genre and they enjoyed it enough to want to know more. The enigma we set at the end of our opening sequence also proved successful as most of the people who completed the questionnaire wanted to know what happened to Nathan as he went into the dark.

Although most of the people I sent the questionnaire out to where below our target audiences age, we still got them interested and entertained by the opening sequence, this audience also understood our plotline too; this is good because it shows we made a media product that is popular in a wide age band.

Some people commented on the music and how it added to the atmosphere and feel of the film which is good because it shows I developed and created a piece of music which fits in well with the genre and film.

Overall this shows my group created a good opening sequence which did well with audiences and got them involved to want more.
