3. What have you learned from your audience feedback?

Here's is me reading my answers to my questionnaire on audience feedback.


Here is another opinion about my teaser trailer who gave me their thoughts about my trailer instead of a questionnaire:
"To be honest, I really like it! It's pretty interesting, and it made me wonder about all these clocks and ticking and such.. and at 11.11.11 when that kind of well, glitch thingy happens, I was like "hmm, well, I wonder what that means? what is going to happen now?" It does build suspense, and makes me want to watch the whole movie to answer my questions! I like it a lot, and the music fitted in very well, too :) it was actually really good.. I know that videos like this can be difficult to make, so well done! :)"
Genre
There were quite a few people who thought that my trailer was Sci-fi Thriller genre which is good since that's what I had intended. Although, there were quite a few people who thought that it was Pyschological Thriller which I can understand why they think that, as there are a lot of connatations of Pyschological- as it seems like people are being watched, that are paranoid. Also, there was one person who said Action/Adventure, which was unusual I thought, I think maybe the reason they thought this was because it seemed like time was running out, and maybe they thought it was an escape mission (which in a way it is-but that would be if the project was actually made into a film). But all in all, I'm happy with the feedback I got with genre!

What people liked
A lot of people said they liked it a lot, and commented that they liked the editing and thought that it was 'invisible'. There were also some comments on the music saying that they thought it made the trailer- or the match was perfect. Generally, I'm very pleased with these results!

What people didn't like
There was only one negative feedback in all of my questionnaires- although it was more constructive critism, they thought that the positioning of some scenes could be slightly different- I can understand why they've put that, since there was only one person who said that, it probably was not a unanimous agreement, however apart from that, everyone else said they liked it.

Multiplex or Small Cinema?
I think everyone said that they thought it would be in a multiplex cinema, this probably because it fitted quite a few hollywood film conventions, and although it is a bit surreal, it does not match conventions of an 'arty' film.

What rating would you give this?
As I've mentioned quite a few times, I have a mixture of ratings of the film and age ratings. With ratings of the film- the majority gave me good marks, such as 5/5! Although there were a few people who thought that the trailer was an age rating of 15, which was slightly off what I originally intended, however, at least one person said it was a 12. But I fully understand why it might have a 15 rating as because it is eerie, these people may have thought that the actual film might be a bit too scary or violent for a 12.

All in all though, I am VERY pleased with my audience feedback, i'm glad to have found out that the majority of people had agreed with what genre the teaser trailer was, proving I must have protrayed the sci-fi thriller genre pretty well. Especially as I thought it would be very difficult for people to realise it was sci-fi as well as thriller.
