Survey Results of Large Scale Exhibition

At the time of writing I have received an ample sample of responses for my questionnaire. As I have collected my feedback digitally, it was very simple to collect and evaluate the comments made on this version of my short film. Below are the results of each question in graph form and a conclusion detailing what my next steps will be based upon the feedback:

Question One:

As you can see from the results above the majority of my audience understood my narrative to an extent however a worrying proportion found parts of my film confusing at times. I plan to edit the timings of some shots in order to deliver the narrative quicker so this may address this problem. Also with a film like mine, it has to be watched possibly more than once for a full understanding to be obtained.

Question Two

Even when editing I knew that the flashbacks may become a problem. Due to the unique and different way I present my protagonist's past the meaning behind the images are sometimes lost and the comments for this question resemble this. Despite not having any plans to remake my flashbacks I am now concious of the potential problems they cause and I have the option to edit and change their form.

Question 3

After I received the feedback for this question I began work in addressing the comments. From the moment I began working upon the soundtrack I knew that the dialogue was going to become a problem when I started layering up the soundtrack. I went back to the cut the audience saw and I agreed that that narration was at some points too muffled. To begin rectifying the problem I altered the volume levels of not only the narration but the ambiance as well. As this problem was brought up in a previous feedback session I have realised that problem is still prominant.

Question 4:

Similarly to how I addressed the previous question, I decided that I need to edit the sound levels and perhaps compress or equalise the audio in order to create a clearer sound. I plan to do this extensively before I finish my final draft. The fact that no major issues were brought up ensures that I have made the right decisions with the type of audio I have selected since the last feedback session.

Question 5:

 Conclusively I feel that the feedback to this question is very positive. Despite the large amount of care I took while editing I felt that more problems would have been risen due to me missing something. The only problem which is highlighted within the feedback for this question is the scene where my protagonist falls over. I feel that the issue can be addressed through editing down the shots to a smaller amount of time
