Evaluation Question Five

We decided a questionnaire would be best to draw attention to our film. Posting a questionnaire online on social networking sites will gain the attraction of the audience we think will enjoy our film best. We posted it on Facebook and Twitter so that young people are at the main audience. Firstly we asked questions such as 'who do you think the audience will be?' and 'where would you like to watch this film?' We received a lot of positive feedback:

Our results confirm that our target audience want to watch it too. Whilst planning our film we tried to consider aspects that would appeal to them. I think that having a young cast helps because hopefully the audience will be able to relate to them in some ways. We wanted to create characters with personalities similar to people who they may be friends with. The way Lucas, Amy and Charlotte dressed is very close to what is considered cool with adolescent people to this day and i think that is an aspect that we considered to be very important during the planning process.

After we had finished the film we conducted another questionnaire to see if we were still getting the same positive feedback. Again we posted this questionnaire on social networking sites and asked friends at college if they could complete it. We asked if they enjoyed the film and this is the most important question because it is vital that our target audience do.

Receiving good feedback is obviously a highlight because the film was created to entertain. I think this has been the most successful aspect of our film because when asked in the questionnaire if they like the titles in our film we didn't receive as much positive feedback as we would have liked. The comment above is one negative feedback we received about the titles but i don't understand why this comment was received. The purpose of the titles are self explanatory and they needed to be there because this is the start of a film so if this person was to have our specification red to them i am sure they would understand. 

I think that we could have improved how we attract the audience by involving some activities in the film that are considered to be normal. I think in a real life situation more than four friends would go camping so obviously involve more characters. I think that having more to relate to throughout the film would have attracted an audience. The characters could also been involved in some activities to present that they are supposed to be normal teenagers such as football or a game of truth or dare. But if we did involve these activities our film wouldn't have had the same eerie atmosphere and the mood would have been lightened but obviously if we were to film a complete film then these activities could have been involved.
