INDIVIDUAL AUDIENCE FEEDBACK

I surveyed a few people, asking them about their thoughts and opinons of our opening sequence.
21 year old female
Rating: 9/10
She likes the idea and could relate to the storyline herself and was very impressed by the acting. She thought it was extremely scary and urged to know what was going to happen next. The part which frightened her the most was 1.12, when the TV turns on with a scream. She thought the location was ideal however the door opened to fast at the end, it should've been more subtle.
40 year old male:
Rating: 7/10
Thought the opening sequence was put together well, however the idea didn't seem to frighten him. He is not into horror movies and therfore wasn't really engaged with the story line. He thought the soundtrack was of a good choice and fitted in with our opening sequence perfectly. Again, he agreed that the acting was very realistic and that the storyline was plausible.
14 year old female:
Rating: 10/10.
Thinks the actress was very professional and the enigma actions worked very well. However, she would be 'too scared' to watch the rest of the film and said it would stop her from staying home alone for a while (therfore I think the 15 age certificate for our film was accurately set!) She also said it reminded her of the opening sequence from 'Halloween'

Overall, I think this individual feedback anchored many facts. Our target audience, 15 to 19 year olds, (feedback shown on group blog) really enjoyed the opening sequence and wanted to know what was going to happen to the character next. I think it was useful to do this individual research of people other than those in the target audience and see what they have to say about our opening sequence. My 21 year old sister was really impressed with the opening sequence, she thought it looked professional and could imagine it being released in a local cinema. However, my 4o year old dad wouldn't watch the rest of the film because he didn't think it was scary enough, and couldn't relate to many events that took place. Finally, my 14 year old sister was amazed by our work and thought it was too scary too watch!
Overall, our core audience really enjoyed the opening sequence. However our secondary audience, along with horror fans, also had a enjoyable viewing experience .
