Audience Feedback

We showed our Thriller sequence to an audience of people and asked them the same three questions to answer and give feedback on. here are some of the responses;

Leah Chapman:
Basic plot - sex trafficing
Positive - titles were in good places, sound affects were good, music went well with action
Negative - end title should have faded in with a better affect (more powerful)

Vicky Cooper:
Basic plot - workers find a hostage and kidnap her, they keep her hidden in all these boxes
Positive - the music fits to what's going on in the film and creates suspense
Negative - no negative feedback

Tom Simpson:
Basic Plot - human trafficking
Positive - the set
Negative - using a sound a bit more

Siene Nelson-Jayz:
Basic plot - kidnapping the blonde innocent looking girl
Positive - it was edited well and the acting was good
Negative - more music would have increased tension

Izzy Macleod:
Basic plot - prostitution
Positive - the set was really good and the characters were chosen well
Negative - maybe have music the whole way through the sequence in order to make the ending more dramatic

Henry Hammond:
Basic plot - sex trafficking
Positive - good sound effects
Negative - make the end title more subtle, perhaps a fade in.

Chloe Cannon;

Positive – Lack of speech is effective + suspense created as you noticed the girl

Negative – Henry (workmen #1) was smiling + the girl would’ve struggled more

Charlotte Bitmead;

Positive – coupling discovery of girl with music was effective

Negative – maybe better if it included scene effects or dialogue

Ivan Gouver;

Positive – Interesting mystery + good acting and editing of camera shots

Negative – N/A

Plum O’Keeffe;

Positive – Sound building with tension is effective

Negative – Title could be rougher to go with the story setting

Overall the plot of the sequence and film got through to the audience. The most prominent Negative comment was that there should have been constant non-diegetic music and and the end title should have been more interesting and eerie to keep the atmosphere and tension. I would take this into account although as it was only the opening sequence we wanted to establish that a girl had been taken and was passed on to someone else, if the rest of the film had been watched, im sure the audience would have seen many examples of tension and suspense.
