Group: Audience Feedback of Final Cut

• We created a survey on Survey Monkey, and shared our opening online through YouTube asking people to fill out the survey by clicking on this link: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/7Y3QM78
• We linked the video on other websites such as Twitter and Facebook to get a wide variety of different ages and genders so that our results are more suited to the core audience of 12-29 year olds.
• We also held a screening on the 19th of April, where we handed out a physical copy of the questionnaire for the audience to fill in, as well as recording some of their responses on camera. We then entered the written data into the Survey Mokey questionnaire, and created a video showing the spoken audeince responses.

Here is a view of the questionnaire:

• Overall, we managed to get 23 people to fill in the survey. Our first question asked about the pace of the piece. 19/23 people said they wouldn't change the pace of the opening so that must mean that we have edited it in the correct way to fit the genre of a horror film. This also makes the results reliable as we got a consistent result.
• We asked about which aspects (makeup, costume, location, props) added to the feel of the piece. Overall, half of our audience thought that either makeup or location was the best aspect of the piece. This proves we made the right decisions in makeup and costume choices by doing a location reccie and makeup tests before filming.
• As we took a different approach to our horror opening, we asked our audience whether they liked the choice of all female protagonists. 11/23 people gave a rating of 4 out of 5 which shows they enjoyed our character choices.
• We used an original composer from YouTube, so we wanted to know whether our audience thought that it fitted our piece. The majority of people (15/23) thought that the music was appropriate. We had a few anomalies in this as 1 person said neutral and 1 said the music was not appropriate as 6 people said the music was very appropriate. Our choice of music has been a good convention of a horror film.

• For the last four questions,whic askes for qualitative rather than quantative responses,  we decided to conduct a video of our core audiences opinions on the opening:
