Horror movie opening: Questionaire

After finishing our horror movie draft we were told to make a questionnaire for the rest of the group and year 13's so they could tell us what they thought was good and what they didn't like through a 'yes and no' system. Then finally leaving a comment for us on how to improve it.



In the questionnaire we asked a variety of things that would help us improve our movie, the questions i feel covered everything, so when we get the results it'll be very clear for us on what to change and what worked well. I think the questionnaire will give us a very good idea on this and help us achieve a better opening overall.

10.   Did the film have enough conventions of a horror film?      Y / N

11.   Was the title sequence like a real movie?                          Y / N  

12.   How could we improve the film?

After the rest of the class and other years watched it we seemed to get good feedback overall, we constructed our results in the graph below -

 

The feedback we received was mostly good however the over all issues was with the 'title sequence'. Most thought that it was too fast which we'll take on board and change. The most voiced comment for question 12 was too shorten the last scene as a character laughs which we'll also change. Another comment was to remove 'the ghosting effect' which is a shame as when editing it looked really good and made the masked people look in-human and supernatural. it distorted however when we exported it, so we'll have to get rid of that also.
The second comment we received quite a lot of negative feedback on was question 7: 'Does the title relate ?' We are considering changing this though we still think it does relate, and that its true relation to the film would come clear later on, remembering it is just an opening and it would spoil it if we answered everything at the beginning.
