Audience feedback

26th March 09

We showed our target audience a rough cut of the film. The feedback we got was...

Lucy, 17

"Really good, found it scary and got creeped out! but the point of view shot going up the stairs is a bit shaky and doesn't then fit in with the speed Lucy is walking at when she comes up the stairs"

Dave, Teacher

"need to re-shoot the hello hello bit as the camera is too jumpy. Add multiple pauses to create tension, blood needs to be more obvious as it loses social realism. Longer pause when walking to door to emphasis more somethings not right. Avoid long takes and shoot from a variety of angles"

Final cut 2nd April 09

George, 16

"Like the music links in really well with the genre, liked the variety of angles"

Andre, 16

" I really enjoyed the inter-cutting and slow motion. The music was really scary! and the variety of angles were great"

Catherine, 17

" It looked really realistic and scary, i enjoyed the acting and felt scared for the character!"

Final Cut after re-filming 28th April 09

Catherine, 17

Alot better than before. Good how its in black and white can tell its a flashback.

Andy, 17

Music is really tense.

Emma,17

Scary! like how you've done the titles and slow mo adds tension.

We received the feedback throughout the editing progress right until the final piece. We did this because we had to constantly make sure the audience understood and followed the story. The audience feedback really helped and was an important aspect of the film. If we hadn't have got all the audience feedback then we probably wouldn't have re-filmed which looking back, was essential.
