The document summarizes the results of a post-production questionnaire about a 2-minute opening film sequence for a thriller genre film. Most participants felt that the opening sequence fit the thriller genre codes and identified the antagonist. However, some suggested making it clearer who the protagonist and antagonist are by showing the protagonist as more vulnerable. Most felt a 15 age rating was appropriate and that the strongest elements were the sound and camera work, though some said the storyline and camera work could be improved. The majority expressed interest in watching the full film.

2. How the feed back will help our
production?
• This feedback will help our production because it will help us improve our
work, by giving us a insight in to what the audience think of our 2 min
opening sequence. The audiences criticism will help our production reach
its potential and meet the needs of the audience.
• With the feedback that we receive we will understand what the
weaknesses and strengths of our production our so we can improve them.

3. Question 1
The majority of the
participants said that the
opening sequence does fit
into the Thriller genre codes
and conventions which
means that the film has been
successful at mirroring the
aspects of a Thriller film. A
minority said that the
opening did not fit into the
Thriller genre, this suggests
that we should make stronger
scenes that show the
audience that this is a Thriller
film.

4. Question 2
Again the majority of the
participants said that they
recognised who the antagonist
was, this is good because it
shows that most people have
understood what the storyline is
and the audience are more
engaged because they
understand the characters. The
minority said they could not
identify who the antagonist was,
to improve this we could make it
even more clearer who the
antagonist and who the
protagonist are by making the
protagonist look more
vulnerable.

5. Question 3
Here we got similar results to
Question 2 and the improvements
that we can make are similar to
question 2’s improvements.

6. Question 4
Most people said that an age 15
certification is appropriate for this
film as there was no strong
language and no sexual scenes so it
is suitable for viewers aged 15.
Minority of people disagreed.

7. Question 5
Most people said the storyline and
camera work were the weakest part
of our production. We can’t do
anything about the storyline and
camerawork because the film has
already been edited and uploaded.
30% of people said they did not like
the sound however 40% said they did
like the sound.

8. Question 6
Most people thought the strongest
element of the film was sound and
camerawork, we used a variety of
different and angles throughout the
sequence, also the sound effects
added made the whole film fit
together really well.

9. Question 7
80% of people said they would
be interested in watching the
whole film, this is a good thing
because this is over half the
people that were asked.
However 20% of people said
they would not be interested in
watching the whole film which
means we may need to add a
cliff-hanger that leaves the
audience wondering.

10. Question 8
Majority of people said they liked the
sound effects already used however we
could improve them by making them
synced with the film for the minority
that did not like them.

11. Question 9
80% of people said that the name ‘Hidden
Truth’ fit well with the plot, this is good
because the name of a film can sometimes
make people want to watch a film. The
name ‘Hidden Truth’ creates mystery and
doesn’t give away the plot.
