Audience feedback

So far for post production Lauren and I have sent out various feedback requests to certain avenues. Firstly Youtube.com - where our film is hosted. In this instance we didn't get back any feedback that was credible, which is a shame but understandable considering how large a site it is.
Considering that we couldnt rely on youtube for comments and feedback lauren and I took seperate routes about how to gather feedback, so that we could combine the findings in the end. I asked several people on MSN, a social networking site about the film in an informal interview style approach. Heres the feedback I got:













For informal feedback, they raised some really credible points such as Problems with sound, Colours and the acting. I am planning to ask more people (Ive sent out similar requests on facebook but so far have no replies so will push the boat out on them).



Laurens Post production feedback work is also going really well. She sent out a request on yahoo answers for feedback and got a brilliant reply:

''I did find amusing if a bit disjointed. I loved the ambulance chasing lawyer skit, and was laughing at the 'gag reel'. A nice touch that.'' - Mr_ R_ Swipes




Additionally she is holding a focus group for media producers, around our age (the target age group) and will be posting the questionaires up soon. To do my part for it, I asked two people that were slightly outside the target audience age.

With these two, there was a vast difference between the responses. The 15 year old had rather positive responses, saying that while it lacked 'clever lines' it was still enjoyable. The 22 year old was less positive. There was no understanding of the parody and the acting was highlighted as the key problem in the peice. The positive was that if it was a series, the next episode would be watched - but to help understand the storyline. All in all it was mixed when it came to the questionaires, which was interesting. It will be great to be able to look over Laurens findings and summerising it in my Exciting 'prezi' Evaluation. Will be posting the link very soon
