Question 3 - What Have You Learned From Your Audience Feedback?

In this post we had to get audeince feedback from our peirs about our short film. Our media teacher showed the class all the 3 groups short film to each other so we could all give audience feedback to them and to receive it. this was important to find out weather we had acheived what we set out to acheive for example was the message we wanted to be portrayed sclear for people to see in our short film? These were important questions for us to know to know weather our film had been a success or not.

we used the flip video recorder to record what the other 2 groups felt about our short film. here they are:





The first question we asked them was did you know what the overall message of the film was supposed to be?

This group did not seem to understand the message of our film saying that they only knew because they had seen bits of it during its production. They said it was hard to understand weather the film was foccusing on the parents or the child I personaly feel that the film his quite obviously focusing on the child and how she is being neglegted this point is reinforced  at the end when she had clearly run away and hiding somehwere and says they will never find me here this comment from this group did puzzle me. But that is what they felt so we as a group had to take on the feedback and try and see what we could have done to improve the clearness of the message.

The next question we asked was what was the strenghts of Synchronicity were?

The gpoup agreed that the setting of our short film was good and suited the story well. They also beleived we used a lot of props which was good and suitable for every scene. One of the members of their group was very impressed with the camera work saying it was used very well with the story line. and fianlly they felt that he credits were good especially at the begining of the film.

We then asked this group what they thought the weaknesses were of Synchronicity?

One of them beleived the sound was of poor quality at some points making it hard to hear the actors due to other noises. Another member of their group seemed to think that the film was to scripted and that the actors should have been given a more free role than to stick to a set script. and they did not seem to understand our film very clearly.

the last question we asked this group was wether they felt the music for the film was suited to the film?

They all agreed that the music was good and appropriate for the film especially theme of the song

we then recored the second group to find out what there perception of our short film was:





we asked this group the same question.

 Did you know what the overall message of the film was supposed to be?

Bobby O'brain seemed to have a very stong understanding of the film and had obviously payed good attention when watching our film becuase she found very easy to understand the message of the film infact she understood both messages of the film the first being how the child isabel is being neglegted and secondly how she may have supernatural powers as seen with the train crash.


The next question we asked was what was the strenghts of Synchronicity were?

Emma awnsered this Question stating that she was impressed with the overalll story line of our film.

what were the weaknesses of Synchrinicity?

This question was awnsered by Matt who beleived that there were a couple of weaknessen in our film. firstly he felt that our actors may have done better if they did not have such a strict script as it would have been better if they were allowed to imprevise a little bit making it better flowing and would overall make the film better. another weakness that he brought up was the scene where isabel trying to put the train set together he felt that the scene dragged of for far to long making it rather boring and making him wonder what the point of the scene being that long was. I would agree with both of these weaknesses and had already identified them before we were given aduince feedback.

Was the music suited for our film?

They all agreed that the music was suited to our film

in conclusion i feel that the audience feedback was very helpfull and gave us all a lot to think about. it makes us loot at our film form another prerspective and opens our eyes to thing that we may not have been aware as we were so engrossed by the production. we a far smarter now and learnt through our mistakes if we were given the taks again now we would be able to do it so much better.
