Audience Feedback

We asked for feedback from a variety of people who watched our film asking them to be honest and point out what they liked and disliked about our film. Here is what they said:

Beth,

Black and White works well, maybe needs to be a bit darker to fit in with film noir, editing and sound are really good and the storyline is inciting but too much like brick.

Florrie,

I really like this film and I feel it relates well back to original genre- I can see some of the traits of film noir coming through. I think the black and white really makes the whole thing stylized and professional looking. I also thought the music worked really well with the film.

Mark,

I enjoyed this film a lot and thought it was very well done and was impressed how well the genre and storyline came across in the short amount of time they had. Although slightly amateurish I thought it was very well done the editing techniques especially were impressive and slick. I thought the voice over was a nice addition that helped the storyline.

Gemma,

The whole film was very good and very well put together as a whole. I thought the music fitted in perfectly with the scenes to add drama, especially at 4:30 when he is walking through the church. I also thought the link between scenes was very clever at 3:30 when the dark tunnel turns into a coat being taken off. I really enjoyed watching this.

Sophie,

Overall I enjoyed watching the film, and feel it had a good storyline. I particularly liked the use of shadows in the tunnel scene, which fitted the Film Noir genre well, and although I am usually put off watching black and white films, I thought it worked well in black and white. I also liked the use of slow motion. The only room for improvement is that I found a few of the shot transitions did not flow completely, giving black flashes.

Jess,

A really gripping storyline that fits in well with the film noir genre. 
Mise-en-scene, was well planned in advance. The camera angles and editing executed and flowed really well from one scene to the next.

Ben,

I liked the film and thought it was suspenseful, but the use of the LA Noire music was sometimes over powering and a bit too dramatic.

On the whole our feedback was very positive which I was very pleased about. But I was also happy to see that there was some constructive criticism among the feedback too which we are able to take on board and use if we make changes to our film. I also liked that we got quite a diverse range of people, male and female, ages 15-57 and all with very different attitudes and varying experience n this field. I think this allowed us to get a more accurate view on what audiences thought of our film with more realistic feedback.
