  QUESTION 3 What haveyou learned from audience feedback?
• 2.
  Throughout this projectwe have received various forms of feedback which have helped us to create the best product we possibly can. We received feedback on our • Pitch • Storyboard • Rough cut • Final cut
• 3.
  Pitch Feedback Our pitchwas in the form of a Prezi and included some of our starting ideas. This is some of the feedback we received. • The film seems to sound like an Art House film with a niche audience. • It is a good idea for the genre. • Good use of red (visual style) • Seems to be more of an Auteur film. • Good use of expressionism. • A good use of setting and props for the idea as they are low budget and easy to come across.
• 4.
  Target Audience From thisfeedback we changed our idea on trying to aim this film at a wider audience. The comment on looking like an art house film we started to look at more unconventional / artistic films which suits the art house / independent film making style. One of these films was ‘Don’t Look Now’ which inspired a lot of our shots and Mise en scene.
• 5.
  Storyboard Feedback From ourstoryboard feedback we had positive feedback including a good plot and good mise en scene. However we received feedback on that there was no danger for our main character. Therefore, this narrative issue would ultimately create an anti-climatic and boring experience for the audience.
• 6.
  Narrative Therefore, we changedthe ending of our storyboard to show that the psychiatrist is working against the protagonist. This added an enigma of will Jordan find out that he is being worked against. Therefore, this makes the film more interesting for the audience as it adds questions to the trailer.

  Rough Cut Feedback Fromour rough cut we received a good amount of feedback. This is the feedback we received. • Good framing/ cinematography • Good soundtrack • Good visual style • A clear narrative • We could improve the voice-over to make it clearer. • We need to explain the purpose of the video diary shot
• 8.
  Voiceover • From thisfeedback we re-recorded our voiceover. We did this to make the voiceover clearer to help the audiences understanding. • From this feedback we also added a voiceover at the beginning to explain the purpose of the opening shot. We used this voiceover to explain Jordan is recording a video diary.
• 9.
  Visual Effects We alsotidied up the red in the shots in our trailer. We did this in the last shot of our trailer as some of the red was appearing in the background. We corrected this by adjusting the colour masks. Before After

  End Titles Instead ofhaving the last small clip between the titles at the end of our trailer we added more titles. To do this we looked at existing trailers to gain inspiration. We then added these titles for a more conventional and professional ending to our trailer.
• 11.
  Final Cut Feedback Forour final cut feedback we created our own survey using Survey monkey. We received about 5 pieces of feedback for our final cut.
• 12.
  Final Cut Feedback Fromthis feedback it shows that everyone thought that our trailer was excellent.
• 13.
  Final Cut Feedback Thisalso shows that everyone liked our poster and magazine cover. Therefore, I feel that no changes need to be made to our products.
