Audience Feedback

Today we had our audience screening, and a lot more people than we expected turned up which was really useful. This was most likely due to the group on facebook advertising our screening, and the notice given to year eleven media students about the screening. Using our questionnaires we were able to find out what worked and what didn't work in our sequence.

We found that:
15 Year Olds
- Didn't like the dialogue
- Liked the set

16 Year Olds
- Didn't like the dialogue
- Liked the music

17 Year Olds
- Didn't like the dialogue
- Liked the music and characters

Males:
- Said they would watch the rest of the film
- Most wanted dialogue to be improved
- Gave it 7-8/10

Females:
- Most said they would watch it again, except two saying they didn't watch the genre, and one saying she felt it would be too predictable
- Gave it 9/10 (with a few 8's)

Overall:
We can see that the music was the most enjoyed aspect of our sequence, whereas the dialogue was the least liked. This suggests that if we were to go back and change the opening sequence this would be something to change. We had always planned for the film to target both genders and although both genders did enjoy it, we can see from our questionnaires that it was preferred by the female viewers.

Planning For Our Screening

I've now typed up the questionnaire in preperation for our audience screening and the questions are on the group blog. Alice has been telling people from our target audience about our screening and so we should have a good number of people coming to see our opening, which will be really useful to see if we have targeted the T.A. successfully as we'll get lots of feedback. Hopefully, as well as doing a questionnaire, some people will be willing to talk to us in more depth about the sequence.
