What have you learned from audience feedback?

This is an exemplar to help you to gain audience feedback.

You must prepare and publish a post which allows you to evaluate your production.

Firstly, post your video production.

You are your own fiercest critic so start by making a bullet point list of your observations at this point of the edit

For example,

• the volume of the music is too loud at points
• one of the cuts is delayed and needs to be edited
• lighting when shown on a projector may be an issue
• we have yet to film the ending
• the narrative may not be clear at this point
• sound effects need to be added

Now prepare questions that you would like an audience to consider about your production.

Ensure they are open-ended allowing for discussion


For example,

Do you think it fits the Thriller genre ?

becomes...

How does it fit the Thriller genre?

1. What is the narrative?
2. Can you notice the colour correction?
3. How does it fit the thriller genre?
4. How does the soundtrack create a mood or an atmosphere?
5. What is the audience for this short film?
6. Where would you expect to see this short film?
7. Is the pace of editing suited to the style of the film?
8. We switched the aspect ratio from 16:9 to 2.39:1 which is common to Thriller films. Do you like this style?
9. Is there enough dialogue?
10. Is the lighting an issue ?

Show this post and the video to a range of people and ask them to post a comment offering medal and mission feedback and to consider some of the questions that you have posed.
