Evaluation 4


What have you learnt from your audience feedback?


In the feedback of the focus group screening for my rough cut showed mostly negative comments on how my film was in my first edit. The praise I received was mostly how the music was very intense and fit perfectly with the inter-titles and over all crated a very creepy feel to it. However most of the criticism said that the continuity issues with the changing clothes during different shots was obvious. As well as this the issues with the incomplete shots as well as the editing was not neat enough. I agree mostly with the continuity editing as it made little sense to why I was wearing different clothes however I strongly disagree with one of the comments where one person stated that some of the shots didn’t look good which seemed unfair as in our final cut most people gave us an 8/10 and we used mainly most of our old shots. Our average score out of  ten which was 8 which meant overall I got a B.

I made a few changes after the focus group by adding several shots to add more of a clear narrative, as well as this we improved the editing and the quality of the shots we used. From changing the colour quality by going n effects, go to brightness and contrast and change them to -53 and -48 this will make the shot look eerie and more horror movie like. The average score I got in my evaluation screening was 8/10 which was a massive improvement with my rough cut scoring 6/10 with some scores at 4/10. I am happy with my scores and comments people gave me as most comments were really positive and little criticism was written down. I will probably won’t change it as our final score was a B.

I am very pleased with my final cut of my final trailer, and will appeal to my target audience i.e. teenagers as this has a very modern look of women in horror films with the final girl and an all-girl cast. This makes it desirable from ideal target audience. My Ring Rosie final cut trailer reassemble the walking dead season 3 trailers as it shows a strong mostly at the people and show friendship in two girl best friends while also fighting zombie. In conclusion I am glad my trailer did much better than my rough cut and I got a good score overall.
