The filmmaker learned several things from audience feedback on their film. Feedback from specialized genre audiences indicated that the films focus on gritty, unconventional subjects and characters that are different from mainstream films. Additional research on travel/wanderlust genres using online platforms provided feedback that audiences want to feel a sense of adventure through visuals, audio, and a feeling of freedom in the films. The filmmaker incorporated this feedback in their pre-production planning. The audience for the film would be niche since it lacks characters, narrative, and consists solely of a voiceover.

1. Evaluation Question Three - What have you learned from your audience feedback?

2. After conducting my audience research I was able to conclude that it would seem that
the special able to conclude that the specialised genre audience find it very hard to
resonate with the film as they are usually gritty narratives that focus on untouched by
Hollywood subjects. In addition to this, characters in the films often demonstrate
unique and experimental qualities that are often again, untouched by mainstream
film-makers.
In addition to this, I conducted some research into the travel/wanderlust genre. For
this, I used Vimeo and YouTube and I also used Twitter and Tumblr to gather ideas on
what people expect from travel and wanderlust based films; from this I was able to
pour all feedback from this into my pre-production plan. From the questions I asked,
the answer I got back that had most influence on my film was; "To be immersed in the
sense of adventure. To see the visuals, hear the audio and feel free."
This answer had the most influence on my film as it is what I look to resonate with in
travel/wanderlust based films.
The audience that my film would attract would be highly niché. This is
because my film does not conform to the typical conventions of a short
film. There are no characters in my film, nor is there a narrative. There is
simply a voice over that controls the entirety of the film.

3. Evaluation Question Three - What have you learned from your audience feedback?
The feedback provided by my teacher allowed me
to develop my research, planning and
constructions of my media products. Throughout
the research and planning stages Miss Stone
provided thorough feedback as to how to improve
our blogs, as well as our short films.
I decided to share my film on the social networking sites Tumblr, Facebook and
Twitter. I did this so that I could obtain audience feedback easily and clearly.
This was an easy way to obtain feedback from a margin of people that are
interested in the genre of my film - travel/wanderlust/lyrical.

4. In regards to the distribution of my film;
There is a limited amount of distribution companies in which my film would be distributed. It is possible that a fitting way
of distributing my film would possibly be through Curzon Cinemas; this is because Curzon Cinemas are a leading art-house
cinema and as they are in fact an art house cinema chain that shows independent films. As my film displays elements of
independent film-making and experimental film-making it is possible that Curzon Cinemas would be a good distributor for
my short film.
In addition to this, as film festivals are used to promote up-coming directors and experimental/creative films it is possible
that this is another way that I could distribute my short film. However, I would have to consider what film festivals would
show my film as there are many that specialise in different elements;
1. The London Short Film Festival,
2. BFI Future Film Festival (Open to young people),
3. Sundance Film Festival,
4. Raindance Film Festival.
