Opening Sequence Audience Feedback
Introduction
 In order to be able to critically evaluate and assess my work I have decided to
conduct a short research and see what my target audience thinks about an
opening sequence to my film. This would help me notice mistakes and faults
that I might have missed. It would be useful to hear someone’s opinion ‘from
the side’, meaning someone who wasn’t involved in this task from the
beginning and to hear what they think about it.
 I have questioned 10 girls/women from 15 to 30 years old who either work in
an art industry, study it or are interested in it, therefore, this sample is
representative of my target audience.
1. How well did music, do you think, fit the atmosphere of this opening
sequence? Rate it on the scale from 1 to 10, with 10 representing absolute
agreement
Some of the quotes of the research
participants related to the 1st question
 ‘I think it worked great!’
 ‘I believe it made the sequence look more aesthetic. It also helped develop a
character better, for example, when an artists rushes with the work the music
gets faster.’
 ‘I am not sure. If the sequence if supposed to represent a crazy, passionate
artist working on her masterpiece maybe the music should have been more
fast – paced.’
2. In terms of length, do you think the opening sequence was
a) too short
b) long enough
c) too long
Some of the quotes of the research
participants related to the 2nd question
 ‘Even though it is 2 and a half minutes long, it kept my attention till the end.’
 ‘I don’t think the length matters as much, but rather what is in the opening
sequence.’
 ‘I think it is too long and gets boring at some point’
3. How well do you think does this opening sequence portrayers the main
character? Rate on this scale from 1 to 10, with 10 representing absolute
agreement
Some of the quotes of the research
participants related to the 3rd question
 ‘I think it portrays the artistic the nature of the main character very well’
 ‘It (opening sequence) suggests how passionate about her work she is, but
also tells us about her unhealthy habits.’
 ‘It is a quite stereotypical portrayal of an artist, not all artists are crazy
alcoholics!’
4. If genre is mystery romance, how would you grade camera work and editing in
regard to the stated genre? Rate on the scale from 1 to 10, with 10 representing
absolute agreement
Some of the quotes of the research
participants related to the 4th question
 ‘I think the opening sequence is quite mysterious – the music and the fast –
paced shots in middle and a painting in the end, however I would never guess
this film is also a romance, probably it is to be found out later in the film.’
5. Would this opening sequence pursue you to continue watching a film?
a) Yes
b) No
Some of the quotes of the research
participants related to the 5th question
 ‘Yes! The painting and music in the end are very intriguing.’
 ‘Definitely! The fact that the character’s full face wasn’t shown, makes it
even more interesting.’
 ‘No, I found the opening sequence way too long and boring, so even if I
continue watching it would be without much interest.’
