Audience Feedback

I  did some audience research involving my class and a class of students in the years above and got them to write down comments of what they thought of the opening two minutes and here’s what they said;

I have got about 20 responses for my audience feedback, which are all generally positive.

The majority said they liked the shots selection and variety of images used and that the poem was very fitting with the images.
Others said the 'music worked well'.
'It was very moving'.
'The story was engaging and fitted the images'
'The old pictures were really effective'.
'The title 'A Broken Promise' works well, it's really sad and goes with the film'.
'The actress was really cute'. (not that that makes a difference)
'The footage is flowing and doesn't jump from one clip to the other'.
'I really like it, i can also relate to it :('
'Really love the poem, has so many meanings'
'good variety of shots'
'Like the close up shots, work really well in getting you emotionally attactched to the little girl'
'How she cries at the end, awwhhh'

My criticsms however;
a few people mentioned that a 'couple of the shots were shakey'
'could have used a tripod'
'The mouth doesn'st move in time with the words the girl is saying'

The pictures above are a few of the comments from the year above, who were alot mor critical than my own peers. I'd by lying if i said i was totally happy with all of these comments however i take all comments like this constructively, and will be sure to work on the negative points in any future productions or work. Lokking back a month after making my opening two minute film i do agree with some of the comments and think it probably would have been pbetter the sync the words in time with how the mouth moved.
