Evaluation Part 3 (Audience Feedback)

A2 Media Coursework Audience Feedback from Jade Rogers on Vimeo.

This is the audience feedback for the short film "Square 1". After the members of our class had watched our film we presented them with the 5 questions, which feauture within the audience feedback film. They then filled out their answers on sticky notes with each answer to the 5 questions on an individual sheet. We decided to take photos of the answers, with photographs also being taken of the process of moving each sticky note to the other, this including the movement of the hand turning the sheet. We then uploaded the individual photos onto Final Cut Pro, turned the images to the correct orientation and placed them on the timeline ready to be edited down to the necessary duration and to delete the images that hadn't focused correctly. We kept the sticky notes with the focus being on the answers at a duration at 4 seconds and the notes with the movement between each sheet at approximately 2 seconds. Text plates with the questions were then added at a duration of 5 seconds. The movement sticky notes were faster than the questions and answers clips as they act as a mini film with the whole evaluation being in stop frame. We decided to go with the stop frame animation as it is a good way to exhibit the answers to the questions for the audience feedback as well as a method to demonstrate a way in which we used digital technology within the evaluation element of the coursework (this links to question 4 of the evaluation).

I feel the audience feedback has provided us with a good understanding of how the target audience for the short film will recieve the film and if it is suitable for the audience we set out to make it for. The feedback also helped to highlight the elements in which we could improve on in the future and what as individuals we need to work on when creating a short film again. As a group we were happy with audience feedback as on the whole it was very positive, which has given us confidence to create a short film again as well as giving us some useful points in which we could work on in the future.
