I'm working in a group of 3 with Ben Brearley and Dom Ellis on a slasher film opening with the working title of Black Nightmare, and on this blog you'll see all the research and planning behind our production.

Final Cut: Audience Feedback



After we released our final cut on to Youtube we invited some of our target audience in to watch and give us instant feedback.

Firstly they thought that the opening sequence worked well with the titles and the build up of suspension with the non-deigetic soundtrack because they said they felt the tension build up. Also with the point of view shots  from the killer they thought that it did well at giving a different perspective , because we didn't just get the view of the teenagers instead it allowed us to understand how the killer would see things. Then they thought that our violent scene was a much better improvement from before where it wasn't believable at all because this time it was more realistic with the short takes and the cut away shots, they thought that the slow motion of the violent scene worked well as well because it gave this weird feeling for them.

However they thought we could of done more to reassure the audience who the main characters were, for example we hardly showed or final girl on screen but had the scream queen's boyfriend on screen for longer,  whereas we could of had more shots of the final girl as she'd be the main character for the rest of the film.

This is some evidence from 1 of our target audience that gave us feedback.
