Audience Feedback - Miss Georgiou

 Audience feedback is is extremely important to production as it gives us a understanding on whether our target audience our thriller appealed to our target audience and if it was conventional to the thriller genre. This information is key to production as it allows us to identify what areas need improving in order to make it a successful opening sequence and we can change these specific areas. 

To receive this audience feedback we underwent numerous methods which would give us a exact understanding of what specific elements we needed to improve. Firstly we composed questionnaires with open questions, this meant that we could ask the opinion of a large group of people and they could write exactly what we need to improve on and wouldn't be restricted by closed questions, making the results more specific. Following this we showed our opening thriller sequence to a focus group of people from within our target audience who gave us immediate feedback on what we need to improve on, following the improvements we made after our questionnaire feedback.

This feedback was extremely beneficial within the production process of our thriller as it meant that we could easily change any part of the thriller which our target audience thought we could improve on. This meant that our final product would hopefully would have no mistakes, all individual micro-elements within our thriller would be appealing to our target audience and it would be conventional to the thriller genre. 

Three positives comments from our audience:
Ellie Holt - Cinematography - "I believe the cinematography used within this clip is successful and conventional to the thriller genre as it kept me on the edge of my seat"
Shaun Mcfarlane - Setting - "The setting is very good as it is isolated and scary which makes it conventional to the thriller genre"
Tom Tovey - Characters - "The use of a young female victim was good as i could relate to that character"

Three negative comments from our audience:
Daniel Armstrong - Sound - "i thought the sound used wasn't very good as it was lacking in some parts and didn't have a impact"
Harry Fagan - Lighting - "Although i thought the low key lighting was good in certain areas it wasn't always necessary"
Joe Smith - Narrative - "the narrative was very basic and predictable"

Overall i believe myself and my group was successful in following our brief and creating a two minute opening thriller sequence as we acknowledged all our constructive criticism and adapted our thriller accordingly until all our feedback was positive and stated that we had created a conventional thriller sequence

  1. This post demonstrates some understanding of why audience feedback is essential to carry out. You have included a range of comments, but you need to also reflect on the comments and discuss what changes you will make to your thriller and why?
