Feedback....

Having created the final propduct I was excited and eager to gain audience feedback. I understood that the final product was not as good as it possibly could be, especially putting into consideration the prelim and all the changes made and planning that went it to it.

I again got a focus group together and asked a number of people for audience feedback. I felt the larger the audience questioned, the greater and more valid the feedback would be.

The target audience whilst happy and kean to praise the movie opening were not afraid to speak their mind - they reflected how they were equally dissapointed and did not consider their to be that larger range of camera shots, they mentioned that the Actress "Rose" should have got more involved e.g. got messy and not afraid to fall over - they felt she was to concerned with what she looked like to get involved and they also felt the shots were still to long.... For future reference we may need to consider getting the acter/actress more involved and this will make the introduction seem more life like and realistic.

When questioning the conventions of the film the audience felt there was great development since the prelim. The film carried many common conventions and the use of editing was also nicely implemented as the "Fade out/in worked very well added added to the illusion of the Blackout.

The sound contributed to the effect and worked very well with the film however the audience mentioned that the use of diagetic sound would have added to the illusion that someone was wathcing Rose..... looking back, yes diagetic sound would have added to the film although the equipment had limited the quality of the diagetic sound we were looking for. For future reference we may have to consider experimenting and allowing more time for this - it will deffionately be considered for future reference.

Nevertheless it was a good a film and the audience, although displeased had many positive comments.
