Audience Feedback- Final Cut

We have gathered feedback from our primary audience and secondary regarding our final cut. To get this feedback the questions we asked were: 

• Did you understand whats going on?
• Would you watch the film and if so why? 
• What element of a trailer would attract you to the film?
• Did the soundtrack compliment the opening?
• Do you think the opening matches the target audience of  15-30 years old?
• How well do you think the opening matches the genre and if there was another genre category what would it fit in to? 
• What would you improve? 

Audience Feedback- Rough Cut 3

This is our audience feedback for our rough cut 3 from our secondary target audience. Janet is a woman in her 40s. She suggested that the shot at the start couldn't show the characters face well enough due to the lighting, we needed to include titles to make it clear the of the roles each of us had, and finally we needed to change the volume of the beats and quieten them down to coincide more with the film. After receiving this feedback we made adjustments to the sound, and included titles. After discussing with the group regarding the first point of criticism we didn't replace the first shot due to the fact we didn't believe it was needed.

Audience Feedback- Rough Cut 2

This is the audience feedback for our rough cut 2. This person represents our secondary target audience due to the fact he is a 53 year old male who comes from a mixed ethnic background. Generally Ian was pleased with our film opening and understood the contrast between the characters. Although, as we already knew he criticised the fact there was no music, we are in the process of making the soundtrack and we think it will make a massive difference by adding to the emotional factors  and representing different lifestyles through different genres of music.

Audience Feedback- Rough Cut 1

This is our audience feedback for the rough cut 1 from our secondary target audience. Tom's mum Jude is a female in her 50s who reiterated the point that the narrative could be easily explored and also enjoyed the editing techniques we included such as the time lapse. Her criticism was that the actors were amateur an not professional. We didn't believe that this was an issue as our genre is social realism which has a convention of unknown/unprofessional actors.
