Audience Feedback

After our Thriller sequence was complete, it was uploaded onto Youtube for public viewing. We could then share the link with friends and family which allowed us to collect some feedback.

We got mixed reviews: some people found it too complex and incoherent and therefore couldn't understand it. Others said it was very captivating and grasping and kept them entertained throughout.

Also, a very common feature that the majority of our audience enjoyed was the special effect where a title was blown off with the smoke.

We also constructed a questionnaire that we gave out to people to fill out immediately after the first viewing to gather some quantitative and qualitative data.

These are some of the questions that were included in them:

- I found the sequence: a: clever b: interesting c: confusing d: strange

- The special effects were: a: very well done b: alright c: too much d: annoying
- The music was: a: captivating b: annoying c: interesting d: asynchronous
- Did you find the sequence thrilling/scaring? Yes/No
- Would you watch the rest of the film if it was made? Yes/No
- What did you most enjoy about the thriller sequence?

Our sample population consisted of 35 people.

These are some of the statistics we gathered from the quantitative questions:

41% of the sample found the sequence 'interesting'

32% of the sample found the sequence 'confusing'

19% of the sample found the sequence 'clever'

These are some of the qualitative data we gathered from our questionnaire:#

'What did you most enjoy about the sequence?'

- music, special effects, smoke, backgroud score, idea, handwritten bits, colours, theme.

Getting audience feedback helped us understand how successful we were at reaching out to our audience.
