Preliminary Task Feedback and Evaluation.

After we had shown our Preliminary task films to the rest of the class we eventually got the feedback on what our audience members thought about the film and what needed to be improved.

Range of Shot Types & Camera Angles: I got some positive reviews from this section with people commenting on the wide use of shots that I incorporated into the film and keeping within the horror genre.
(92/110).
Editing/Filters & Transitions: This section people again were adding to the comments on a appropriate editing, however when re-watching the film in my own time I noticed that there is a moment when the 'hooded' character is walking round a corner that the editing could have been slicker. However it is not noticeable unless picking it apart.
(97/110).
Continuity Editing: Again (as mentioned above) the edit could have been improved for continuity.
(93/110).
Brief Following: I got a mixed review on this section with some people saying I did follow the brief and others say I got side tracked when using the horror genre.
(95/110).
Mise-en-Scene: This section got one of the best review from my audience, but I think this is helped by the appropriate filming location at my house, which represents the darker side of a house.
(101/110).
Music & Sound Effects: From the feedback from people, it seems that this section was my best during the film. The sound effects used created atmosphere and I even got comments that it made people more nervous about the film and some of it made them jump (which is what I intended).
(106/110).
Dialogue: Again I got a few mixed review on this section but I would say myself that I would have used better actors to deliver the dialogue instead of the ones in the film, this would have allowed me to create more tension in the atmosphere of the film.
(96/110).

Overall: My overall target that people commented on and that I would say myself after re-watching after editing would be to be very wary of the lighting that I use, because in some shots it was not clear and so people couldn't define the action going on in the shot. But all-in-all the audience's feedback was that I represented the horror genre very well and got across a scary, spooky and original idea during the film.
