Production: Audience Feedback: Miss Begum

Audience feedback is when you get a feed back from the audience telling you , either what they liked about our thriller , also audience feedback is significant to a production as it is helps , whether you have appealed to your target audience and created a conventional thriller film. 

Before the filming our thriller film myself and my group had already gained some audience feedback by the questionnaire that we had created.  We created this questionnaire to gain some information on the expectations of our target audience; for example our target audience have chosen the theme ‘psychological’ when asked the question“what type of thriller do you enjoy”,so myself and my group based our theme on psychological as its important to listen to what our audience want in order to be successful. This helped us with the creation of our thriller film because we was able to reach out to our target audience to find out their ideas of a successful thriller film.

The next stage of our audience feedback was through screening our thriller film with our target group. This enabled us to gain feedback from our target audience about what they enjoyed about our thriller giving us positive comments on what we've done well on in terms of conventional a thriller film also gave us constructive comments on what could be improved on. This helped the progress of my thriller film because we could now make changes to our thriller film in order to meet the expectations of our target audience.

POSITIVE COMMENTS

Jessie age 15: “The setting worked well with the idea of the house being safe”

This comment was beneficial because it shows that myself and my group succeed with the idea of a house being safe but within our thriller, being completely the opposite.

Joshua age 16 “There was conventional lighting that was used throughout most scenes”

This comment was also beneficial because it shows that myself and my group followed the conventions of a thriller as we used low key lighting throughout our thriller film, so that a eerie effect was maintained throughout the film.

Tom age 15 “The soundtrack of the film was corresponding with the images on screen.”

This is an important comment as the sound is one of the main elements in making the audience have that thrill experience; the sound is the connection between the film and the audience because with out it, it wouldn't be as effective.

CONSTRUCTIVE COMMENTS

Sarah age 17 “When the dad hears a nose and goes to check it, looks outside the window and then leaves. Not very good acting, he should have looked at other places too, he didn't seem that scared”

I think that this is a good constructive comment and i think that this change would be beneficial to my thriller film.

Jack age 16 “A wider selection of angles could have been used.”

I think that by providing the audience with a wider range of angles within my thriller film would make the film more strong as they have a larger image of what is happening at every angle of the film.

 Jamal age 15 “ At the beginning where it shows the family moving in , they could of waited for a bit of darkness , as then it didn't look like a thriller film to me.”

This was a good comment to reflect on as we are aware of the impact, however the idea of us using natural lighting was to show the audience its day time, thrill things don’t happen and also to have them a bit confused. Never the less we completely understand where they’re coming from. In future we know not to do that.

From looking at the final outcome of my thriller film, I think that it does follow the brief of creating a two minute conventional thriller film. The micro elements of my thriller film follow the codes and conventions of a thriller by creating affecting responses from the audience and also think that succeed in satisfying our target audience in terms of expectations.  

Overall looking at the audience feedback of our thriller, I think that this will benefit my film company as my target audience will see that I have created a conventional thriller film under ‘The Blum House Of Horrors' and maybe even continue to watch thriller films made by them. The audience feedback was essential to develop our thriller film as we know what needs to be improved and what was successful about our conventional thriller film. As a group we were pleased about the feedback we got , this will help us in future.
