Evaluation Audience Feedback

In order to help gauge how successful our finished project had been we designed a short audience questionnaire to be answered by a group of 30 other students. The five questions were:
1. Gender M/F? (19 male 11 female)

2. Did you enjoy the sequence? Y/N (21 said yes of which 18 were male and 3 female)

3. What aspects of the sequence made it more like a real film opening? (12 referenced to music opening and credits 4 said thriller opening getting you interested in watching rest of film *narrative hook* other comments were to do with character introduction and relative ease in following the sequence *editing*

4. Would you pay to see a similar film at your local cinema? Y/N (15 said yes all of whom were male)

5. If you replied yes to the above what aspects would attract you to watch similar films? (all made comment about action thrillers being entertaining and 10 referencing interesting plot twists, a couple also mentioned they are likely films with famous actors they enjoy seeing)

Overall these answers gave us a good indication towards the success of targetting a male audience identified back at the beginning of our project with expected results of little interest from female audiences. The results show our concept worked relatively well in using conventional thriller techniques (narrative hook/suspense) to entertain and engage the specified audience.
