Audience feedback on thriller

So once the thriller was screened to an audience, we had to get their feedback on what they thought about the story, editing and he general feeling to the opening.

Firstly they said that our opening was very suspenseful. This is great feedback as our main aim was to successfully create a feeling of suspense. This is because one of the main conventions of a thriller is this feeling so therefore the opening is on its way to being a successful thriller. Also if the audience think the opening is suspenseful, then this means that we have correctly used the conventions that we needed to.

Secondly the audience commented that the cliff-hanger at the end was very good and exciting. They wanted to watch more as they have a general idea of what could happen and they thought hat it would be really fun to watch. This therefore tell me that the opening of this thriller was successful because if the opening creates this sense of mystery to come then it will make the audience more inclined and excited to watch.

Thirdly, they said the opening was intriguing. This is because the audience somewhat understood what was going on; therefore they are intrigued to find out more and understand the death of these girls. This also means there is a sense of mystery and suspense. Furthermore they thought it was intriguing as the storyline was not boring and the editing was not sloppy which helped them to concentrate more on what was happening.

However some negative feedback was the acting. This is not something that can't be changed or helped as this is a skill that can only be possessed by some people. But the acting still ruined the opening as the audience thought it was funny. For example when Lucy falls on the floor, the audience laughed when it was supposed to be dramatic. Also there was laughter when Chloe was running as people thought she runs funny.

Other negative feedback was when Chloe runs off (when she realises Lucy is missing, calls her name then runs off), we can hear a slight noise of someone sniffling, this was either me, Sarah or Kelvin and this was because the weather was cold. The audience said that this ruins the scene as its not professional and it "breaks the realism". When filming in the future we all should try to stay as quiet as possible so this mistake won't repeat itself.
