Questionnaire



We've created a questionnaire as a way of gaining feedback on if they like our opening sequence, which parts were the most effective and why, and whether they think it suits our specific target audience.




Firstly, we showed them a rough copy of our opening sequence, and explained that we were not at the final stages of our editing therefore it was not entirely completed.




We began with asking questions including their age, gender and favourite genre of film. This helped us gain an understanding of what types of opinions and feedback we'd be receiving and why.

They then moved onto filling in the rest of the questionnaire, and asked them to answer it as honestly as they possibly could as this would improve the reliability of our feedback.

  • In our questionnaire, we asked the following questions...
  • Do you think the location was suitable for the genre and fitting to the plot?
  • What did you think of the acting?
  •  Was it convincing?
  • Do you think the effects on the lighting looked right?
  • What was your favourite part?
  •  eg shots, locations, props, dialogue.
  • Did it make you want to find out what happens later on in the film?
  • Were there any elements that could have been executed more successfully?
  • Overall, did you enjoy it or not?
We made sure the people we asked our questions to fit in with our target audience...15 years old - 30 years old Both boys and girls "Thrill-seekers" .An interest in horror films/horror and paranormal documentaries/ TV dramas with sinister plots. A younger audience Mainstream style or potentially the other end of the scale: punk/rock/gothic style.

  • From our audience feedback, we found out that out of everyone we asked, everyone loved our choice of location. We were told its the perfect location as it looks like a typical place for  kidnapping, it added a chilling atmosphere, we filmed on a good day as it looked cold and it was very conventional of the genre. 
  • Overall, our audience liked the acting and thought it was very convincing, however one person said the acting in the scene in the house wasn't as good as the rest of the opening sequence. One person on the other hand said they loved the acting especially Naya's voice during the voice mail calls over the credits as they sounded realistic and scared. 
  • The effects we added onto the lighting was liked by all of our audience. Everyone said they hadn't even noticed we had used the effects as they were done so well. Someone said the effects were simple and effective. Although one person said the shots where the ropes being dragged by the killer could have been a bit darker, there was too much greenery. 
  • Out of everyone we asked, every person said they would watch the rest of the film as our opening sequence was interesting and exciting. One said they wanted to carry on watching as they wanted to find out who the killer was at the end. Everyone said they enjoyed it. 
  • Parts we were told could have been improved were again, the scene in the house as the acting wasn't convincing enough, the speed of the walking of the killer through the woods, and finally the production logo being shortened and maybe the volume turned down a slight bit.
