Questionnaire

After completing my film, i want to gain some feedback from my target audience. My target audience has always been roughly 15-25. I luckily managed to hand out 10 questionnaires to a mix of ages in my target audience. These are my results:

1)Did you enjoy the film?
This question was mainly to attract the people that were doing the questionnaire, just to interest them. Some younger people just wrote 'yes', but many of the older people who filled the questionnaire in commented on how uplifting the film was. "This film makes me feel happy and jealous"- I am assuming that they are jealous of the character in my film!

2)What did you think was the strongest aspect of my film?
Most of my answers were the same for this question, that answer being 'the narrative' or 'the story'. One said, "The twist at the end was a nice surprise, especially because the character was so bored and poor at the beginning of the film' Others also liked the music.

3)What did you think was the weakest aspect of my film?
Again, mostly the same answers. They mentioned the unsteady camera work at times. I completely agree with this and i wish i could have used a tripod whilst filming. Others mentioned what the character was wearing! 'She was wearing shorts on a snowy day?!'- One person wrote.

4)What did you think of the narrative twist at the end?
Luckily most of the answers were possitive, although two or three said that they liked the twist, but it could have changed slightly. For example one person said, "I liked the winning of the scratchcard, but maybe it was too happy...Could you not have had her dropping the card down a drain?"- My main aim was to have a happy ending, so this wuld not have matched my inicial intentions, although i think this is a very good idea!

5)How would you rate the camera work: very poor, poor, satisfactory, good, very good
Four people circled satisfactory and six circled good.

6)Do you think the choice of music was right for the style of film?
I was very happy with these answers, one person wrote, "I really liked the choice of song, it matched perfectly to the genre and theme of the film". Another person wrote, "The upbeat song was a good choice, i also liked the 'Lollipop' song for the credits"

7)How would you rate the music editing: very poor, poor, satisfactory, good, very good
Seven people circled very good and three circled good.

8)If I were to do more on my film, what aspects could i improve on?
One person answered, "I think costume could have been altered as well as the camera work. A tripod would have solved the problem!"- I completely agree with both of this persons points, maybe if i had more time i would have changed these things. Someone else said, "The man in the shop could have got the scratch card a bit faster!"-After watching my film again, I have noticed this, but that is what makes it realistic. So I would not change this, otherwise it could look too staged.

Receiving my audience feedback has enabled me to look at my film once more and look at all the parts that i feel are not up to scratch. From question 2, there were trivial problems with my film that my audience noticed. I realised that these aspects can not be changed and have tried to se the positives about the negatives! Most of the negative answers were problems that could only be changed if i started the film all over again. For example the clothing my character wore, i would have to film the entire film again to change it. Over all i feel happy with my audience feedback, there are no serious problems with the film and no really bad comments which i am happy with.
