Results Of Survey
These are the results from the feedback survey that I have collected I have used graphs to analysis the questions when necessary.
As question one in my feedback survey of genre I asked thriteen people what genre they thought our opening sequence was, this question was an open answer question. But the key answers people gave were mystery, thriller, horror and crime. I found that five out of the thirteen people that I asked said that they thought that it was a thriller film. Three out of thirteen people that I asked said that they thought it was part of the mystery genre. Two out of the thirteen people I asked said that they thought it was a horror genre film. One out of the thirteen people I asked said that they through that it is a crime genre film. And two out of the thirteen people I asked wrote other genres. The most popular option given for this question is thriller as the genre of our film. The results of this question have shown me that our opening sequence can be identified as a thriller film, but it may be easier to classify as a thriller genre film if we are to make a few changes to the opening sequence.
As question two in my feedback survey of genre I asked thirteen people if they thought that the genre of our opening sequence is easy to identify as a thriller genre film, this was a open ended question, but every one answered either yes or no. I found that eleven out of the thirteen people I asked said that they found the opening sequence easy to identify as a thriller genre film. The other two people out of the thirteen I asked said that they did not find the opening sequences easy to identify as a thriller sub- genre film. the results from this question have shown me that the opening sequence is easy to identify as a thriller genre film because the majority of people I asked said that they found it easy to identify as a thriller genre film, although a small number of people I asked said that they could not identify it so it may be beneficial to make a few changes to help make sure it completely clear to an audience the genre of the opening sequence.
As question three In my feedback survey of genre I asked thirteen people I asked people to list three improvements that they think we could do to improve our opening sequence their were a variety of answers given but their were five key responses that a lot of people that I asked wrote. The five most given responses to this question are fade to black at the end, no film name, no production company name, Bit long and a bit repetitive. The responses that I got from this question in the feedback survey will help me when making improvements because I now know that key things that I could do to improve our opening sequence to make it more interesting and understandable to viewers the answers that was given the most is the fact that it is quite repetitive I think when making improvements I think the fact that the flash back sequence seems repetitive is an issue that we need to address.
As question four in my feedback survey of genre I asked thirteen people what three key things they thought were good about our opening sequence, this was an open ended response question although there were six answers that were given the most often. These responses are the use of the point of view shot, flashing transitions (in flash back sequence), use of black and white, close up of eye, flash back sequence and use of music. The results from this question have shown me key parts and elements of our opening sequence that an audience liked although there are a lot of positive responses to the uses of a flash back sequence in the previous question it was also mentioned to be a bit repetitive so I think the results of this question has shown that when we make improvements this is a key area we need to look closely at to improve.
As question five in my feedback survey of genre I asked thirteen people if their was a wide enough use of shots used in our opening sequence, this was an open ended question but every one I asked responded either yes or no. I found that twelve out of the thirteen people I asked said that their was a wide enough use of shots used in our opening sequence. Only one person out of the thirteen people I asked said that did not think that their was a wide enough range of camera shots used in the opening sequence. I have found from this question that an audience thinks that we have used a wide enough range of shots to make the opening sequence interesting to watch because twelve of the thirteen people I asked said that they thought we had used a wide enough range of shot types.
As question six in my feedback survey of genre I asked thirteen people if the opening sequence would make them want to watch the rest of the film,this was an open ended question but everyone answer yes or no.I found that eleven out of the thirteen people I asked said that they would want to carry on watching the film after seeing the opening sequence. The other two people I asked said that they would not want to watch the rest of the film after watching the opening sequence. The results from this question have shown me that our opening sequence is fit for purpose as an opening sequence, because the main point of a films opening sequence is to hook the viewer and with eleven people out of thirteen people saying they would carry on watching the film after the opening sequence it shows me our opening sequence is effective as an opening sequence because it makes people want to carry on watching the film.
As question seven in my feedback survey of genre I asked thirteen people what grade they would give the ruff cut of our production, this was an open ended question but every answer one of four answers which are C, B,B+ and A. I found that four out of the thirteen people I asked said that they would give our film a grade C. I found that four out of the thirteen people I asked said that they would give our opening sequence a B grade. I found four out of the thirteen people I asked said that they would grade our opening sequence as a B+. And one person I asked said that they would give our opening sequence an A grade. The results from this question have shown me that our production may receive between a C and a B because those are the majority of answers that people gave ranged in between.
