Audience feedback 2018


I started by getting my main actor to watch my video and give me feedback on the opening. I asked him a bunch of questions about the opening and about if any changes needed to be made to my opening. After watching the opening, he said that he wanted to re record some of the chase scenes as he said that they were very false looking as he kept turning around and looking at the camera during the planning process. From this feedback, we went back to the woods to re record some of the shots to make them more suitable for a horror film.

There was also smiling in some of the shots which contradicted the genre of my opening and therefore had to be rerecorded. Once all the changes had been made, I sent the opening to my friends who were a similar age and all liked horror films and asked them their opinion on the opening. From the feedback I received on my opening I was very happy with the feedback. My friends found my jump scare I included was very effective as some of my friends found the jump scare scary. I was very happy with this as it made my horror opening more realistic because it showed that my jump scare had the desired effect. They also felt that the synching between my video and the sound was very well edited as it was fully synched which made the video looking more realistic as the sound didn’t sound like it was just added on but made the feeling look smoother.

After I had re-filmed the rest of the shots, I didn’t receive any critical feedback after I had made the changes, so I decided I was happy with the video and decided to publish the video after the feedback. If I didn’t receive the feedback on my opening, I wouldn’t have made changes to the re-filming of some of the shots which would make my opening less professional. Seeking opinions of others helped me to evaluate my own judgement so I can make changes accordingly.
