Audience Feedback..

After completing our final cut of 'Blackout' I decided that it would be worth finding out what our target audience thought of our product. This would enable me too see what went well and where we could improve our film and to see if our target audience would actually want to see the rest of the film.

I found that overall our target audience enjoyed the opening and would want to see the rest of the film as they found it confusing and interesting and wanted to find out what happened to 'Rose' in the end. This was very encouraging for me as it showed that our hard work has paid off. There were also many positive comments about the range of creative shots we used to make our film more exciting. People also commented about the choice of music and said that it fitted in extremely well with our filming.

However, there were also some constructive critisms from our target audience and some commented on the fact our shots werent extremely steady throughout the film, this has told me that maybe we should have thought about ways to keep our shots steadier such as improvising with our tracking shots and using a trolley for example. Another useful comment was the fact that Rose's make-up and hair was too prestine for the night she supposedly had been through so if we were to re-do our film i definetly think we could have made Rose look more distressed.

After talking to my target audience about our production and taking into consideration what they said, most of it was true and there were areas where the film could be improved. However, overall i think 'Blackout' was a very successful opening if our target audience is saying that they would want to watch the rest of the film, afterall thats what an opening is supposed to do.
