Audience response

Audience feedback.
I spoke to a group of ten people  who had been given an initial idea of our film, the genre the synopsis and what we wanted our audience to feel after watching our film. I used a research method of a questionnaire to help sum up peoples general thoughts and comments after talking to them about my film, to make it easier to sum up and conclude the feedback.

I spoke to an elder woman about this idea, she gave quite a negative feedback, she gave the impression that thrillers weren't the type of film that she'd be interested in watching, she liked the idea of this being set in a small town, as she could relate to the setting, but, she couldn't relate to our characters that we told her about, as there wasn't a middle aged woman in it. So her overall thoughts, were that she liked our idea and our location choice, but, she personally wouldn't choose to watch it.

I then spoke to a 17 year old girl, she said that 'thrillers are really scary!' so this put her off of the film entirely so, she didn't want to hear anymore about this film. Due to the very negative feedback I decided to speak to another 17 year old girl to see if it was a one off or more than one young womans opinion, what this girl said was that, she actually really likes some thrillers, and that our idea was very good, and although you would assume had been done a lot, she hadn't actually seen it done before, so is looking forward to watching it.
I then spoke to a 21 year old boy, he told me that he does like thrillers and mystery films but they must have gore for him to be interested in watching, but dispite the fact our film isn't the goryist film of all he'd still consider watching it as it does have that jumpy, mysterious element envolved heavily.

Overall our feedback showed that our age group that we would be selling this film to mainly would be 17-21 year olds.
