1) Feedback from friends and family on the film's opening sequence was mostly positive, though some found it confusing with a lot happening at once without explanation. 2) 93% said they would watch the full film, but some may not if the opening doesn't make sense. 3) Music fit well with the scenes and built tension without being too dramatic, though using different scores for underwater vs other scenes was considered.

1. Audience
Feedback
A review of the questionnaire we
sent out to family and friends

2. Question 1
• Most of the feed back from this question was
positive. We wanted the audience to feel
engaged and excited, to which the majority did.
We can apply the uses & gratification of
entertainment as most of the audience enjoyed
the production.

3. Question 2
• Similarly to the video I filmed, I think a lot of
people may not have understood that this was
an opening sequence due to a lot of stuff
happening at once. We had always thought
about having the idea of the underwater scenes
and planned around that but we can see why it
may have been confusing as nothing had been
explained yet.

4. Question 3
• 93% voted that they’d watch the whole film
which is what we would like from the audience.
I can understand that if the opening sequence
isn’t easily understood to some people, I can
see why they would prefer to not watch the
entire film.

5. Question 4
• We are glad that we would get a lot of
recommendations! For those who wouldn’t it
could be that they might not like the genre as it
can be boring or uninteresting for them. From
this answer we can apply the two step flow
theory as our active audience of 25-35 would
pass on information to our passive audience. A
lot of horrors that young people are typically
used to are films that feature a lot of blood a
gore and death and gives them visceral
pleasure. This was something that we didn’t
include in our production.

6. Question 5
• As said by a friend in the video, the plot line
is very hard to relate to and we expect that.
Although this often leads the audience quite
unsettled which is something that we hoped we
achieved. However, if we were to ask someone
aged between 15-18 if they found the
characters relatable, they might agree as they’d
be around the same age and maybe in
education.

7. Question 6
• Personally, we all thought the music was a
worked well with our production as it built up in
just the right places. However, at the start of
planning there was the suggestion to use 2
scores, one for the underwater scenes and
another for the rest. But instead we when for
just the one because like stated before, it fit
well with the shots. We didn’t want to have
extremely dramatic or loud music because that
would cancel out the eerie effect we wanted to
achieve.

8. Question 7
• Majority liked the female protagonist, which
we all think was a good choice and wouldn’t
change this even if we did the production again.
We thought that, conventionally, it was the way
forward. But this an leave a problem, majority
were pleased about having a female ‘victim’ but
there is also the idea that she might not be the
victim after all, and this could be disappointing
to some.

9. Question 8
• About half of the audience felt a physical
response, the other half didn’t. We wanted to
make our audience quite uncomfortable and
uneased, which we think we have achieved. But
for those who didn’t, maybe we could’ve done
more shots underwater, perhaps in a flashback,
but with our lack of recourses and from the
practice filming, we think this would’ve been
extremely difficult.

10. Question 9
• The age of our audience varied from 15-35,
so from the feed back we can tell that the
majority of the people who took the
questionnaire, would’ve been fairy young as the
actors were all in their teens. This could be a
problem for the secondary audience who are
much older than our primary audience as they
are not around the same age, however there is
the possibility that our secondary audience
could still relate as they might have friends who
have kids around this age, or they might have
extended families with similar ages.

11. Question 10
• We made our production as simple as
possible as we wanted our primary audience to
understand it as much as they could. We
achieved this as the majority liked its simple
nature. If we were to make the entire film, we
would make it slightly more challenging to suit
our secondary audience and to reflect our
independent institution. Also with the
suggestion of another antagonist, this
information could be fed through our active
secondary audience to our passive primary
audience.
