QUESTION 3What have you learned from audience
feedback?
Throughout this project we 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
Pitch Feedback
Our pitch was 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.
Target Audience
From this feedback 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.
Storyboard Feedback
From our storyboard 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.
Narrative
Therefore, we changed the 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
From our 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
Voiceover
• From this feedback 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.
Visual Effects
We also tidied 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 of having 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.
Final Cut Feedback
For our final cut
feedback we created
our own survey using
Survey monkey. We
received about 5
pieces of feedback
for our final cut.
Final Cut Feedback
From this
feedback it
shows that
everyone
thought that
our trailer was
excellent.
Final Cut Feedback
This also shows
that everyone
liked our poster
and magazine
cover. Therefore,
I feel that no
changes need to
be made to our
products.
