Audience Feedback - Miss G

Audience Feedback.

Questions.

1. Why is audience feedback essential to carry out?
2. Where did you screen your production?
3. How did youtube help?
4. What feedback did you receive?
5. Reflection

1. Audience feedback is a response/reaction given from your audience to a product. My product was a thriller opening and the target audience for this were ages 15+, so i had received my feedback from this particular target audience. It was essential for me to receive an audience feedback as the comments and responses would help me depending on for example if the feedback given to me were disadvantages of my opening this would then help me as i would learn from the mistakes i had made and it would help me gain understanding on what i will need to improve on in the future if i will be making another thriller opening later on in life. Also, if the feedback that i have received were advantages on my product this would then be a benefit to me as i will know i am on the right track.

2. We had screened our production round various places. For our beginning scene where our killer was in his office we had screened this at my house in a bedroom, this was convenient for our thriller opening as the low key lighting in the bedroom helped portray a mysterious atmosphere. Another location for where we had screened our main important scene was at a local forest, we had chosen to shoot this scene at a forest as we feel that this best suited our narrative.

3. I think that Youtube has helped us allot. We had first uploaded our preliminary task on YouTube and from there we had received allot of feedback, not just from the comments on YouTube but we also had people approaching us giving us compliments and their own opinion on how they felt about the task. From these comments and feedback given, we had taken them into account when creating our thriller opening. For example, a user had commented on YouTube and had mentioned that there were many camera angles we could have used to improve the video, and also to attract the audience's attention; we had then used many different camera angles in our thriller opening and as a group we had concluded that the different camera angles used were a huge benefit to our thriller.

4. The feedback that we had received are given below:

"I did not feel as if I was engaging with the scene as much as there was lack of action"

" Many shot were lacking continuity. "

"The panning shot used towards the end really made me place myself in the victims position, it was very nerve wracking to watch, i loved it." 

"I can't lie and say that my mouth did not drop with shock"

5.Reflecting back on our thriller opening, my group and I feel as though it turned out to be quite successful seeing as we used a majority of thriller codes and conventions. It seems as though all the hours and hard work we put into our filming was worth it seeing as the target audience we showed our thriller opening to enjoyed it. However if my group and I were asked to create another project I think the making of it would run much smoother seeing as we have had previous experience and also seeing as we now know what we need to change and improve to make it better it would run more fluently.
