Evaluation - Audience feedback

After gathering the results from the feedback questionnaires (example below), I created few charts to display the results clearly. This was an example of one of the feedback questionnaires we received back, we set out a mixture of yes/no questions, with questions that needed a written response. We did this to avoid repetition for the audience, but also to give us more controlled and topical results.

 

 

 

 

 

These are the 3 graphs that I produced, showing the feedback we received. 20 random sample feedback questionnaires were chosen to use for the results.




These are a few examples of the comments our trailer received;

Example Positive Comments

“A good length as it doesn’t give too much away”

“The Bird shots worked well”

“The sudden cut of sound at the end worked well”

“The camera angles created tension”

“The music created a tense atmosphere”

Example Critical Comments

“The music was a little too repetitive”

“A voice over could have been added”

“The trailer was too long”

“A more horror looking font should have been used”

Summary

Overall the comments we received were very positive. The one of the most important statistics was that out of our 20 samples, 19 members of our audience felt that our trailer looked like a horror/thriller film, (which is good considering that’s what we intended). Also 16 members of our audience wanted to see the film after watching the trailer, and 3 of the 4 that didn’t, said that it was because they don’t like horror films. Another important statistic was that 19 members of the audience felt that the length of the trailer was perfect; as this was a concern of ours when we were making it. The main element that the audience suggestested had room for improvement was the editing of the trailer, the comments that we reiceved wanted the edits to be quicker in places, to add more drama. Looking back over at our trailer, I think that it could definetley be improved by using quicker edits, as it will also add to the genre. On the other hand, the main section of our trailer that worked well was the music and camera work. This is pleasing to see, as it took us a long time to think of differnet ways we could shoot scenes, and the music needed a lot of attention, as its one of the most important parts to any trailer; so recieved these coments was good!
