We presented our opening sequence to the class to allow us to obtain constructive criticism from a different perspective. We handed out an audience feedback sheet and asked them to fill them out as they were viewing the extract. We gathered the results which is presented below:
What was especially good about the film:
- Good camerawork from different perspectives
- Understood the plot well through the character / plot development
- Protagonist acts well and genuinely looks lost
Who do you think the target audience is?
- Aimed at fans of horror
- Some people believed it was aimed at teenagers, whereas some thought the target audience was adults
- Obvious that the genre was horror / thriller
Did you notice any serious issues such as continuity errors, strange edits - Did anything not make sense to you?
- Various continuity errors towards the end of extract; shaky at parts
- Needs a lot of editing and re-ordering of shots
- Should embed more shots of girls reaction
- At beginning, as the girl is walking into the forest, there is a shot of her walking in a deep forest, however next shot it involves her walking on a pathway; does not make sense
- No suspense built; sound needed to enhance opening sequence
- Predictable
From this we deciphered the key elements that need to be enhanced is sound and editing.
