Audience analyses

Audience analyses.
To gain my audience analyses by copying our opening film sequence on to a disc, I then gathered a number of viewers who spanned over the age range of my target audience (18-40) the way I analysed the opening was to have a group response, this way it will allow the group to communicate with one and other.
After the group of four watched the clip a few times they all took notes down commenting on what they like and what they didn’t like as much, and where any other improvements could be made.
The first comment the group made was that the opening sequence in general was finished to a respectable standard bearing in mind it is only a school project and we had to fit in filming and editing with everyday life such as work and school.
Leading on a part of the film that a majority of the audience liked was firstly the car crash they like this as they felt it was unexpected from A/S level students. The second part that of the film the views thought a lot of was the effect of the victim going in and out of conciseness when there was an effect added in making it look like he was opening and closing his eyes. Thirdly the audience really liked the locations as they thought it was relevant and that it represented the genre very well.
The parts of the production the group weren’t so mad about was that for the second part of the opening when the setting is in the farm house ruins was that the quality of the filming wasn’t quite good enough this is as we filmed it on our own camera’s as it was filmed on the weekend. One other point that group didn’t like was that it wasn’t very clear about what was happening. But this was only really as they didn’t know what the rest of the film was going to be about until it was explained to them.
One point that half the group mention that could be improved was that the opening wasn’t long enough and that the audience couldn’t really get into the film itself.
