- The audience provided some helpful feedback but did not strongly challenge the stereotypes portrayed in the film, suggesting the film's representations could have been clearer. - Both audience members found the businessman character out of place and thought the working class character's kitchen was too sophisticated, indicating issues with how the working class life was depicted. - The plot was confusing for both audience members to follow, suggesting it was too complex, though the primary member was interested to solve the mysteries.

1. AUDIENCE FEEDBACK

2. What to expect from the
audience
I expected my primary audience to be
sophisticated due to us aiming at A-B income
brackets so they would want to challenge the
stereotypes as they are active

3. An active audience??
My primary audience feedback member was quite
active in how he noticed some stereotypes but
wasn't as active as I suspected him to be. He didn’t
seem uncomfortable meaning that we may have
overestimated our audience.
Both my primary and secondary members thought
that the business man looked out of place, however
oddly my primary audience member didn't think that
Ethan dressed too stereotypical as he thought he
could have not been poor and wasn’t represented
like that as well as it could have been.

4. Active audience members
My primary audience member noticed how he thought that due to the
kitchen being so sophisticated that then gave him the impression of Ethan
not being working class, showing again that we didn't show our
representations well enough.This is probably due to lack of planning and
not enough thought going into the display of the working class life. My
member thought that the performance of the actor was good and
portrayed the working class well however there again is not enough detail
with mise-en-scene. So if we were to do it again we would have to pay
more attention to setting, props and costumes.

5. Audience feedback
The audience gave some helpful feedback but
did not really challenge the stereotypes that
we put out for them, giving us the reflection on
that our audience have just accepted them as
dysfunctional and reckless and not attracting
them by challenging them.
This could be because of the questions not
being representation specific however I believe
my questions would have at least gave them a
chance to express their opinions.

6. Why??
This may be because that the audience are now so
active that they don’t see just the working class
being represented like this as my member said
that he couldn't tell the difference.This could lead
to us having to make our representations even
clearer so that the audience can see them so that
in hand will then allow them to challenge them.
My secondary audience member noticed the
stereotype more maybe due to her getting
personal identity from it and can relate to it,
meaning that maybe we should of had our
secondary as our primary.

7. Extra feedback
Both of the audience members found the plot of the film hard to follow as they
had to watch it a couple of times to actually put some of the enigmas together.
This would suggest that we made it too complex and this had put our secondary
audience off, however the primary audience were keen to discover the enigma s
and put them together meaning that they would be intrigued to watch it.
They both though that the locations especially the urban train location was used
effectively , as it represented a working class and would associate someone in
the working class to be using local transport instead of a car due to them having
a lower income.

8. Extra feedback
My secondary audience member found the
flashbacks rather confusing and couldn't put them
together which could mean that again we made it
too complex as this is shown again as the primary
audience didn’t really understand the meaning
behind it, so got a bit confused by this, however
after I told him how this would be explained later on
in the film he then became intrigued to watch it and
find out what happens.

9. Was it the right audience?
I think it was the correct audience as even
though they didn’t understand some parts, I
think it was our fault for overestimating
their intelligence as it would be confusing
for most. So I would say that the use of a
sophisticated audience is the best choice as
any audience who is less sophisticated
would stand no chance at challenging the
stereotypes.

10. Audience feedback
However due to the audience feedback being very
small we could have possibly done an online survey
to include more people by using web 2.0. However
last time we put an online survey up it was not
answered so may be a waste of time.
Maybe our audience would have enjoyed the
production if we made it simpler as we
underestimated them as they don’t always want it
to be intellectual for example the title as the
majority wanted ‘alone’ instead of ‘Reflux’.

11. To conclude...
After seeing the audience feedback, I have
come to the conclusion that our audiences
could have been improved if we did more
research. As we could have had a younger
audience as they may have related to it more
with the main protagonist being a youth.This
could mean that instead our secondary
audience should be E income class and 18-24
years old
