Audience Feedback On First Draft

These are some comments from our audience after they watched the first draft of our film. They are separated into good points, and bad points which will be improved. We have tried to cover as much of a wide range of variety in audience as possible.

1.) Girl, aged 15

Initial comments:
Very good and very effective. It has a really good plot especially when he couldn’t change the channel.

Good points:
• Sounds give a really good effect
• Made me jump when someone grabs his shoulder
• The colour change to red distinguished well between reality and the vision
• It was really good where the camera spun around his head and when the coat blacked out the camera

Bad points:
• The writing was hard to read and this made it difficult to know what was happening

2.) Boy, aged 16

Good points:
• Funny when the man grabs his shoulder – but nervous laughter, giving the impression that things are only ok for now...
• The music was really good and really added to the effect

Bad points:
• The writing was hard to read

3.) Woman, aged 32

Good points:
• The music really succeeded in building suspense and tension and made my heart beat faster, making me want to know what was going to happen next
• The shadow on the wall was really effective
• The use of camera angles was brilliant

Bad points:
• The writing was difficult to read which made it difficult to understand the background

4.) Woman, aged 20

Good points:
• Thought it was really successful in creating suspense
• Got my heart beating faster
• The loud ticking of the clock set heart pace
• The music was really good and really created tension
• The colour change clearly showed the difference between vision and reality
• Made me jump
• Like how the guy seems so normal
• The images on the tv are so good

Bad points:
• The writing was a bit difficult to read

5.) Man, aged 36

Good points:
• thought it was SO good
• the music fit really well
• music built suspense successfully
• good plot
• made me want to see the rest of the film

Bad points:
• writing difficult for an old man to read (lol)
• maybe not so many camera angles when he first walks into the house?

We will analyse these comments and change what is needed... (the writing)

Update-

The writing has been changed to a clearer font
