Results:


This shows that the majority of people found are film entertaining, this is good as even though we want to leave the audience on edge it gives me the impression that they would watch it again, well watch the rest of the film.

This shows that the audience may have to watch more before or maybe no more about the film before watching the film. This gives the impression that they didnt find that much out in the trailer maybe making people uncertain of whther they would watch the rest of the film. However, it is pretty much even that most people said yes compared to the no's and maybes.

The majority of the population of the audience after watching the trailer, they would recommend it to a family or friend those that said they wouldnt may not because of the age of the family or may no that they are not in to thrillers so this wouldnt be the film for them.

From this is shows that the audience were unsure on whether it built up tension or suspense, but overall the majority of the audience though it did. This makes me believe that if we added more twists it may make more of the audience want to watch our thriller.


I think overall that we got positive feedback for this question, having mainly goods, very good, and excellent. So even if it wasnt as efficient as most of the audience would of expected they were still pleased with the trailer, from this i can tell that they may suggest this film to others to watch.


Maybe with some editing we could change these reults making everyone think it flowed well. However i think that it did have good continuinty and wouldnt want to change it so much as i think it buildt tension well.


Before people answered this question we knew that the sound could be improved and was surprised to see such good feedback. However if we were to make it into a full film i would change the music. as i feel it repeats itself too much.

Again with positive feedback on the camera angles, I think that we did show a range of different angles steadily but maybe i would show a few more difficult shots.

I think the audience were mainly pleased with the editing as we did use a range of different edits including a ghosting effect. If we could edit it again maybe we would use a few more edits and try and simulate the editing with it.

Overall i think the audience were happy with our thriller, however they only watch the trailer for it so may prefer it if they saw the whole thing.

All of the audience agreed that they couldnt predict the ending making it seem that we had a twist which we did, so i think it may surprise more of the audience to come.

The audience found that our film was different to others as we used a little girl as a murderer compared to the stereo-typicall male villan.

I think the audience were happy with our graphics and thought that it did fit into the codes and conventions nessecery for our thriller.

I think the audience were pleased with the titles as they were quite effective because they linked in with the topic of the thriller, as it had the child-like theme.
