2. From the feedback I received from our visit to
the Electric Cinema, I was able to distinguish
which features of my film proved to popular,
and where there was room for improvement.
4. Popular Aspects
Of the 22 feedback sheets, 16 said their favourite bit was my
zombie fight scenes. Personally I believe this would be the
aspect that people would like best, as it is action-packed and
fast-paced. As Steve Best (director I contacted) informed me to
make the trailer with what my audience would like, not myself
in mind, I chose to use a majority of the shots I filmed with the
zombies as I knew they would prove to be most popular. The
gas mask scenes were also a popular aspect that the audience
pointed out
5. Improvements
The feedback sheets suggested various improvements that could
be made. Examples include the sound levels and acting in
certain parts. However I knew the sound would be difficult to
edit in some places due to the fact I had to use three different
versions of the same song and making them flow 100%
correctly together was not possible. Also, this was my, and my
co-actor’s first time acting in a video so I expected several
issues with our acting skills. However overall I feel we did a
better job than what we was expecting we would do.
6. Audience feedback has also taught me that if
an audience feels interested in the main
character, then they would want to see the
entire film. 21 people on their questionnaire
said they was interested in my character and
all of those 21 said they would watch the
whole film. Therefore it seem, an interesting
and engaging character attracts an audience
to a film.
7. After following Best’s advice on making the
film for the audience, I found that their
opinion mattered most. Therefore, I included
more action involving zombies into the
trailer and these parts were extremely well-
received. Therefore, my audience feedback
has taught me that it is indeed the audience
that are right and productions should be
made for them, not the producer.
