Audience feedback

We showed our films today to people in our year and the year below. We asked them to give us comments on our films and tell us something that they liked about it. The general comments that we got were that they enjoyed the flashing credits and the difference of colour in shots in the flashbacks and present day.

Some examples of the comments we recieved were:
'I liked the combination of what was happening to leyla visually and the voice over of her mother (I think) talking to the police'

'Interesting, liked the flash backs and flashing credits. It was gripping and made me what to watch more'

'Music makes suspense and the writing looks good and fits. There is a good cliff hanger of Charlotte waking up'

We also got a really positive feedback comment from Ms Upton who is the deputy head. Her comment was:
'Really good! I liked the cup and milk, everything was great, story was good. Gave me the chills.'

Overall I'm really happy with the comments we recieved from people and glad that everyone liked it

Audience Response to our Preliminary exercise

In our lesson on Friday, as a class we all watched eachothers Prelim exercises and gave our responses to them.

The feedback that we gained from the class was that there wasn't much continuity as we missed out a shot because we should of filmed Charlotte sitting down on the chair after she entered the room. As we were filming this we did realise and tried to fix it by putting an extra shot of Sarah's suprised face in but we really needed the shot of Charlotte sitting down to make it look more realistic and keep the continuity.

This feedback from the audience response has helped us because it has taught us to be more careful about our filming and make sure we have every shot we need before sitting down to edit. It means we will make sure our storyboard is perfect and includes every shot we need before we start filming for anything else, especially our 2 minute film opening coursework task.
