Feedback Form 7:
Overall, we were very pleased with our feedback. All 7/7 thought out trailer was conventional for our set genre and all seemed impressed with our editing and ambient sound. Some people did think we used too many jump cuts, and thought our actors were unbelievable in the fighting scene however only 2/7 complained about this so, even though it would be too late to improve the acting, we still decided not to improve on them as 5/7 didn't see them as major problems.
7/7 liked our ancillary tasks and thought the poster specfically looked really good and professional. No one thinks there is anything we need to improve on.
We did also ask our audience what they thought about our poster and magazine. We asked them what they liked most about them both, and what they don't like too much, and what would they do if they could change it. All 7/7 really liked our poster and magazine. The poster was said to have looked 'professional' and 'effective', while the magazine was described as 'really good'. One of the people who gave us feedback said they liked out magazine as they didn't think it was over crowded and thought it look believable to be a real movie magazine.
We also created a survey on SurveyMonkey, asking the same questions to 5 more people. The ages of the people who gave responses ranged from 17-21. We chose these people specifically as this was our main target audience. When selecting people to answer our survey, we asked people who did and didn't like horror's so we had none bias feedback.
Here was our responses:
We learned from our feedback, that some of our audience encoded and decoded our messages differently. We asked our audience what they thought of the red lighting gel used during the fight scene. Some thought it was 'effective' and worked well for the genre, however 2 members of our audience did not remember to gel, exampling that the out-standing message we wanted to send across of danger and death within at that scene was not noticed by everyone. This examples Stuart Hall's Reception Theory, showing that not everyone decodes the same message the deliver wants the audience to receive.
In comparison, females enjoyed the horror film's idea more than the males did when questioned separately. In the survey, 2/7 people said that they didn't like the acting because they thought it was slightly unrealistic in the sense of the protagonist being female.
