Response to our audience feedback!
Our audience feedback showed us different people's opinions on our short film idea, some being positive, some being negative. In the question about whether we should include time-lapse's or not, the majority of the respondents agreed with us and believed that it would be a good idea including it in our film to portray time accelerating and to keep the film interesting.
For the second question, the majority of people agreed that the thriller genre should include enigma or anticipation, and seeing as our film is following the thriller genre path, this is positive feedback. Both 'enigma' and 'anticipation' are important in creating a film that the audience will understand and enjoy watching, however in order for this to happen, it would have to be made clear the main conventions of the genre through things such as suspense etc.
Our third question, about whether our game should follow a similar path to the Hollywood film 'Jumanji', our respondents replied with the majority saying that it would be a good idea, with one person saying that it was a bad idea. These results may be influenced by the fact that they may not know what the film is about, and so they wouldn't know what our plot would follow by, and so that's perhaps why the responses weren't all positive.
Our fourth question concerned whether our board-game should have a good or a bad side. The majority said that it would be a good idea that this would happen, as it would make the film more interesting and two-sided. However two people said that this might be a good idea however it might not. This is a good response as it will help us potentially rethink the idea about it and so this could make our film better, however we might as well look into it.
The fifth question concerned whether we should use the title 'Advance to Go' for our short film, basing it on a monopoly-based idea. These results show a mixture of different responses, some saying that it would work, some saying it wouldn't. This may be down to the fact that our respondents may not know the storyline and so don't really understand the concept behind the idea.

Audience Feedback
Over the weekend, we placed a survey onto various social media websites including Twitter, asking people whether they liked our overall ideas for our short film (using the survey creator, 'SurveyMonkey' and 'The Student Room'). We chose to use social media as our way of collecting our data as our target demographic would be familiar with these websites as they are used often day-to-day, and so this would give us reliable data that we can positively use towards our film. We also used the website 'The Student Room' as again, our target audience would be most likely to use this website as it is predominately aimed towards students in college or university, hence the name. Below are the results from these surveys.

From these results, it shows that our production ideas are pretty successful, and that many people understand what were trying to achieve, using various techniques. This is because we aimed our questionnaires at our target audience, using social networking sites to attract our age group so that our results were valid.
