Feedback for our film

We screened our film to a group of 16 and 17 year olds, in the year below and then asked for their initial thoughts and criticisms of our production. 

                          

While everyone we interviewed noted potential improvements our film could benefit from, our overall response was largely positive, our target age demographic relating to the characters and comprehending our plot/premise despite knowing little about the film noir genre. 

We received a great deal of constructive criticism, addressing issues in our final film, one of these was that the camera shook slightly in the final scene, as we cut to the door.  

We received positive comments regarding the editing of our film, however an interesting criticism was that the graphics in our epilogue were to fast, making it harder to read and becoming less effective, this is something we should considered addressing.  

Our use of sound was well received, someone noting a use of the knife scraping sound effect, created using foley sound. 

A topic our audience particularly debated was whether the film would be more impactful in black and white, this was a cause for debate in our feedback, some of our audience preferring our combination of technicolor and black and white. Ultimately we will probably leave this element of our film as it is, this debate being a potential talking point of the film, much of our target audience would be unhappy if we changed this.

Where would I like to advertise the film?

Ideally I'd like the film to be advertised across a range of media platforms, a digital representation of the poster used on pop up adverts and promoted through social networking sites. 

Additionally the film could be promoted at local bus stops and train stations, this would be especially relevant to our target age demographic, a majority of teenagers and young adults relying on public transport. 

On a larger scale the film poster could be promoted on billboard or on the side of buildings appealing to a larger demographic, potentially attracting wider audiences and age groups.
