Evaluation Task #4 (Interactive 'Prezi')

'How did you use new media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?' 

Evaluation Task #3 (Questionnaire Evaluation)

After watching our trailer, ten volunteers filled out our questionnaire which we created together to analyse their understanding of our trailer and get the feedback relevant to the evaluation question: 'What have you learned from your audience feedback?'

We collated the results from the survey, and this post explains both the significance of each question, and the importance of the audiences answers.

Question One: 'What genre would you say our film coheres to?'

To assess our effectiveness at portraying genre conventions, our first question asked what they thought the genre was. 100% of candidates said they felt it was a romantic comedy, this would suggest to us that we were successful in keeping to our genre conventions. 

Question Two: 'How would you rate the acting in our trailer?'

The second question was about the quality of acing in our trailer. All 
candidates felt this this was either 'good' or 'very good'. This was reassuring 
to us, as it meant that all of our the hard work writing and directing would not be wasted due to a poor standard of acting.

Question Three: 'How would you rate the music choice in our trailer?'

The third question was about our choice of music in the trailer. Although one 

candidate felt that this was 'average' the rest all felt that it was ether 'good' or 'very good'. 

The music had been a struggle for us as we had to find some that was un-copyrighted, so it was nice to get feedback suggests that this time in post-production had not been wasted.

Question Four: 'How would you rate the choice of locations (mise- en-scene) in our trailer?'

The forth question asked audience members what they thought of our choice of mise-en-scene in the trailer. The suburban London setting was something that most people 

found was 'good', and two people felt it was 'very good'. I think this was down to the way that the suburbs of London can offer the bet of both worlds in the sense that we 

can portray globally iconic London characteristics, such as red buses alongside the tranquil 

setting for a British Romantic-Comedy.

Question Five: 'How would rate our film overall?'

The fifth question asked the audience to rate their enjoyment of our trailer/film overall. This was where we were most pleased with the results as almost all audience said that they thought it was either 'good' or 'very good'. I feel that this was important and whilst film making is, of course,an art form, if our piece was the being professionally released it would be driven to success or failure by the consumers.

Question Six: 'What age range would you say our film is best suited to'

The final question in the survey simply asked what the audience thought the target audience of our film/trailer was. Most replied 'U', with only one candidate going for PG, and one candidate opting for the 15 certificate. This was pleasing, as we aimed our film to be viewed by a large age bracket audience. The answers 'PG' was not that shocking as some themes in our film could be seen as slightly adult for younger children. However, the  '15' certificate was somewhat of a surprise. Nothing in our trailer is explicit and there is no violence or nudity.
