2. How is this feedback going to benefit our
production?
 This feedback will help us improve our production as we will
be able to gain an insight of what our audience makes of our
draft we have created for them to view. Their criticism and
feedback will help us to get our film to reach its potential, and
also meet expectations of our viewers.
 With the feedback given we will use it to understand what
are the strengths and weaknesses so that we can improve
the film.

3. Question 1.
Are you male or female
Gender
Male Female
40%
60%

4. Results:
 As this questionnaire was given out voluntarily, the results
state males volunteered to answer the questionnaire more
than females, showing that males may have had more
interest in horror films.
 60%- males
 40%- Females
 Showing gender bias, and this is illustrating that it goes with
the stereotype that males are more drown to horror films
than females which is helpful as I am more convinced that
the film will appeal to both males and females

5. Questionnaire 2
Did the film opening fit into the horror
genre?
Yes No
20%
80%

6. Results:
 According to our audience, the vast majority said that the film
does fit into the horror genre codes and conventions, which
therefore means the film has correctly mirrored aspects of a
horror movie. 80% of participants said the film recognised to
be a horror film, and 20% of participants say it was not. This
could mean we may have to intensify some scenes even
further to make it crystal clear this is going to be a horror film
for the 20% that disagreed.

7. Question 3
did you recognise the protagonist and the
antagonist?
Yes No
10%
90%

8. Results:
 90% of participants said they were clearly able to recognise
the protagonist and antagonist. This is good because the
storyline then becomes clear to the audience and they are
more engaged because they understand each character.
However, the 10% who could not recognise the protagonist
and the antagonist shows we need to make it even clearer
who is who, by maybe also intensifying the scenes and
making the protagonist appears more venerable.

9. Question4
Do you think that an age 15 certification is
appropriate after having watch the opening
sequence?
Yes No
20%
80%

10. Results:
 80% of the participants agreed that the age 15 certification is
appropriate as the film contained no strong language and no
sexual scenes so it was suitable for the viewers aged 15 and
above whereas 20% of the participants disagreed

11. Question 5
Which do you think is the weakest element
of the opening sequence
Sound Camera Characters Storyline
10%
20%
10%
60%

12. Results:
 The results show that 60% of participants said that the
characters were the weakest element in our film then it was
the sound we will improve the sound by ensuring that it is
synced in better with the film, but we can not do anything
about the actors as the film had already been edited and
uploaded.

13. Question 6
Which do you think is the strongest element
of the opening sequence?
Sound Camera Character Storyline
20%
30%
10%
40%

14. Results:
 The results suggest that 40% of the participants think that
the camera was the strongest as the film consisted of many
shot type and movements also 30% of the participants
thought that the storyline was good because it was unusual
and different.

15. Question 7
Did the opening sequence interest you to
watch the rest ?
Yes No
40%
60%

16. Results:
 40% of participants said they would not be interested in
watching the rest of the film which is a lot of the people we
asked whereas 60%said that they would watch the rest of
the film which is a good thing as this is more than half the
people we asked but as there were 40% of participants not
interested this means the opening sequence must include a
more leading cliff-hanger, which entice the audience to want
to watch what happens next.

17. Question 8
What do you make of the sound effects?
Good Bad Okay- could be better
30%
50%
20%

18. Results:
 As we were not completely satisfied with the sound we
presented to the audience , I decided to add question to gain
further insight into what the audience made of the sound
effects. 50% of the participants say that they were
okay, could be better. 30% say that it was good and 20% say
it was bad this information helped us improve our sound
effects and make them better.

19. Question 9
What do you think of the name ‘Locked’
Does it hint at the plot of the film enough?
Good- it does hint the plot Bad- it doesn't hint the plot
Okay- hints the plot a bit
30%
60%
10%

20. Results:
 60% of participants said that the title hints a little at the
plot, however this is a positive point as the title should not
entirely give away the plot, it should create mystery to
therefore make the audience more curious therefore
engaging them and allowing them to watch the film.
Furthermore, it is a good way to market the film as the name
is easy to understand

21. Conclusion
 As a group, we plan to use this feedback and to help us
reconstruct areas of the film, and address issues that the
audience had with technical areas such as sound and
camera. It also helped us recognise our strengths and what
we had correctly understood about the horror genre, and
how we applied it to our film. All in all, conducting the
questionnaire has been very helpful and will help us to go in
the right direction with our film and hopefully make it a
success with this feedback!
