Evaluation Question 3

I used my phone to record my voice then edited in on Adobe Premiere Pro to have a video with my audience feedback survey and uploaded it on youtube.


 

Transcript:


I was quiet happy with the feedback I received from people overall. The results of my audience feedback survey is showing on screen but I will also be talking about the feedbacks I got from people with who I’ve had a chat after they watched the short film. I have had 5 responses from my social media (facebook and twitter).The first question was if people liked and found it interesting and everyone said yes, I am very happy that people liked it as the main purpose of this film is to entertain.
 For question 2 someone mentioned the fact that it might include a bit too much music and someone didn’t like the end either. I don’t know he/she is talking about how the story ends or how I made the short film end. Everyone liked the music and said how it matches well with the scenes that were playing. I have then also asked if the film was easy to understand despite the absence of dialogue. The results on my survey all said that it was easy to very easy to understand, but one of my friends who watched the film next to me said that he thinks that it would have been easier with dialogues. I honestly think that the images and the voiceover were enough to tell the story.

I also asked people how they received the message behind this short film, which is to not put all your eggs in one basket in life. Most people were confused and thought that the message was that education should be a priority in life therefore I think that I haven’t been precise enough on this one.
The last question was about the things that people would have added or changed. Most people said nothing and 3 people said 3 different things; someone talked about how he would have added different camera shots and angles, someone else said less music and more voice over and the last person said it would have been better with 2-3 actors.

To conclude, those feedbacks have helped to analyse how my audience has decoded my short film.. Based on Stuart Hall theory I now know that the receptions are between dominant and negotiated.
