What have you learned from your audience feedback?

  I have uploaded my film to YouTube and twitter but still have not had many responses.  People who watched the film while me and my group partner spent time in the editing suite, had given positive responses. After showing it to a group of BTEC Media students I received a few texts saying (INSERT PICTURE).

Most of the audience fed back and from this i learned that the majority of viewers jumped at the ending which built the cliff-hanger. The majority understood what genre it was and they established the narrative by the end of the trailer which is spectacular to know.

A point was made out to me when the sound of the dialogue of the hand held shots were drowned out by the soundtrack/sfx. This delayed a editing session because i had to re arrange the sound as the sound on the clip was poor. Eventually managed to audio boost and put a vocal boost on the sound which surely made it better. (PICTURE)

The audience liked the soundtrack as it was put together with numerous alarming sounds and the “ring around a rosy” gave a intensifying effect.  The sounds of the scream are very alarming and loud which draws in the audience to fix their eyes on the screen. While this is happening the suspense is building and the majority of the audience jumped when it cut from the hand held shot to the girl crawling to the camera alongside the evil laugh.

Another thing the audience helped with was the selection of the name. Our initial pitch included an questionnaire and we gave the audience a choice of names that they think would go along with the film. We had a numerous amount of suggestions and we stuck with “Possessed Little Nicki”. While transforming the footage we came across the name “The Lost Trail”. This fit with the story line and the trailer. (PICTURE)
