Audience Feedback Questionnaire - Analysis


Question 1

  From the first question in our questionnaire, we can clearly see that the majority of people that answered our questionnaire fell into the age range of 15-20, therefore were the age that we have directed our opening scene out, as our target audience are 15 to 18+ year olds. Therefore we can say that this data is quite accurate and will be able to give us a good idea of what our target audience thinks of our product.

Question 2

We felt that it would be a good idea to ask this question as we can have an idea of whether we have been successful in creating a opening scene that is of the 'Horror' genre. From these results we can gather that everyone thinks that this clip is a Horror or a Thriller, which suggests that we have made a successful opening scene as these two genres are very closely linked. Overall Horror did get the highest votes. 

Question 3

Again, this question was asked to see if we had made a successful opening scene, this time for the appropriate age range that we were aiming this clip at. From previous research, we discovered that the age rating of many horror films were 15 or 18, therefore we feel that we have created a successful clip that fits in with this age rating. 

Question 4

We wanted to ensure that the audience could clearly see the film title, understand what it says, and read it clearly. From our results we can see that 100% of people that filled in this questionnaire, can clearly see the film title, and it can be seen by everyone. 

Question 5

This is just a basic and simple question just to gain some idea of what people think of our opening scene, whether it is successful and works well. The majority have selected Yes to this question, which is pleasing. The second highest result was 'Needs some improvement' which is very helpful to know as in future projects, we know that we have some areas to work on so that the clip meets all the requirements. 

Question 6

The genre of Horror is all about suspense, and scaring people, therefore we felt we must ask for the feelings of the audience to know whether we had done this and created this kind of atmosphere. The highest result was 'scared', second was 'uncomfortable' and thirdly was 'suspense', these qualities can all be associated with the genre horror, therefore we felt that we had done well to make the audience feel this well.

Question 7

We asked this question to see whether we had been successfull in making our characters look realistic due to our use of make up and costume. The majority of people said yes to all three which suggests that we were successfull in making our characters look believeable. The second highest votes went to the Make up, therefore the audience must have thought that our use of fake blood, face powder and hair products worked well.

Question 8

The setting was one of the main factors that we felt contrubited to making our opening scene, typically Horror like. We used a Church and a Woods which are both very isolated and dark areas. Most of our audience felt that the setting did creat suspense which is good as this is what we were going for when choosing our setting.

Question 9



One of the miain problems that we had with out project was the editing, we lost a lot of time due to editing and the difficulties that we had, therefore the editing was probably not as effective as we'd have hoped, but judging by the results of this question, we can see that over half of out audience feel that the editing looks good and is aesthetically please.

Question 10

We personally as a group, felt that music was our strong point in the opening scene, as we felt we adapted it well to what was happening in the scene. From our results we can see that 80% of our target audience feel that the music does fit in well with the opening scene. 

Question 11

This question was open ended, but the three most popular answers were curious to know what happens next during the film, it looks like it would be a good plot line and they question a lot of things about the opening scene and about the characters within it, therefore they want answers.
