This was one persons comment on YouTube, it was pretty similar to the answers we got back from the questionnaire after we had analysed everything.
1. Did you understand the narrative?
This response was kind of what we were expecting because you can’t fully understand the narrative by watching just the first 2 minutes, the narrative is supposed to build up as the movie unravels; this is why many people answered “A little”. However, we were glad to see that none of our audience didn’t understand the narrative.
2. Overall how much did you enjoy the OS? (1= not at all 5= A lot)
Our second question shows us that all of our audience thought it was satisfactory or good. However no one liked it a lot, so we do have things to improve on.
3. Would you watch the whole film?
A pretty good outcome, we were pleased to see no one said no to watching the whole film. The majority said maybe, but I don’t think you can judge on the first 2 minutes, however if the audience how seen the trailer, it might’ve given them more of an understanding about what’s to come further on in the film.
4. What do you think of the effects?
'The effects were relatively good'
'Lovely'
'I think they set for something good to happen'
'Good'
'They're good'
'Very effective at the beginning'
We were pleased to see all good replies to this question about the effects, especially since we had put a lot of effort and thought into it.
5. Did you know it begins with a dream?
The majority of people either didn’t know it began with a dream or knew a little, this response tells us that we need to make it more clear so that it is obvious that the scenes at the beginning are part of her dream.
6. Was the soundtrack effective?
We were very pleased to see that practically everyone thought the soundtrack was effective, especially since we thought long and hard about what music would suit the mood.
7. Did it build suspense?
This is also a pretty good response with almost everyone saying the music built suspense, we were pleased with the tracks we had chosen as they weren’t distracting from the film but they created the right amount of suspense needed to hook the audience.
8. Was there any confusion whilst watching it?
This response was kind of expected because our opening sequence requires close attention to small details, I understand why there was a little confusion, but if we had the time we would definitely try to make things clearer.
9. Does the title grab your attention?
This was a pretty good reply, the majority of our audience said the title grabbed their attention with only one saying it didn’t. We thought quite a lot about the title making sure it wasn’t cliché for a thriller movie.
10. What could be improved?
'Clearer narrative'
'The narrative'
'Narrative clearer'
'The talking interacting scene between characters a little confusing'
'Make narrative clearer'
'The shot of the two people talking talk louder'
This last question gives us a clear response as to what we need to improve on, and that is the narrative and the dialogue. I think that the main fault in our opening sequence was the way the dialogue was executed, it is a very important part of the narrative and if you found it hard to understand or difficult to hear, then it may throw you off. If had more time we would definitely make that scene more clear, because I think that once that scene is cleared up and understood then so will the narrative. I think our opening sequence did well in satisfying the majority of our audience, but of course we didn’t expect it to appeal to absolutely everyone.
