Questionnaire Analysis - Audience Feedback on The Opening Sequence

Question 1:
This was simply a YES or NO question. From this question our target audience only said YES, this means that they liked the music within our opening sequence and therefore we do not need to change anything.




Question 2:
Just like the previous question this question was a YES or NO one. Two people didn't feel as though the credits were effective, this was because they weren't visible enough, so therefore my group and I will have to adapt the credits. However, the other people who did the survey voted YES for the credits being effective this suggests that the opening credits that we had were all suitable for our piece and those audience members.




Question 3:
The majority of the feedback for this question suggest that the opening sequence was a success. They said that they all liked the opening sequence was a success with introducing the film. Perhaps the reason for the few 4/5's and 3/5's was because our credits were not good enough for them or because they didn't like a part of the sequence.


Question 4:
For this question we got a variety of results, a majority of the feedback ranges in  5-4 which we are pleased about.
The result 3/5 suggest that perhaps we need to focus on making the editing smoother to create smoother transitions, we will therefore spend a lot of time on editing to ensure that the editing is better for this audience member so if we were to ask the question again we would get results that were all 5/5.


Question 5:
For this question it was a simple YES or NO. Most people for this question accept one said that they completely understood the opening sequence. They said that this was because some of the editing did not flow that well. The reason for asking this question is that from my research, it showed that some of the examiners commented that in the past that some of the opening sequences were far too complicated, as a result of this they were difficult to understand.

Question 6:
For this final question again we posed a simple YES or NO question. Everyone accept one person answered YES. This means that if we just adapt some of the criticism that we were given from this survey we could be onto a successful film opening. Everyone said that the reason as to why they would continue watching is because there was a lot of enigma created within the sequence.

Iconography

These images show how we developed our ideas to come up with our final design. The first image shows the different names that we wanted to name our sequence and it shows the different types of designs that we played with before deciding on our final design. We then decided that the bloody handprint would be our front image. This is because the handprint creates enigma codes and also juxtaposes the genre of our sequence which is 'horror'. We then decided on the title of our sequence which was 'They See You'. Just like the logo the title creates enigma codes, for example, who see's you? Why do they see you? Is this a negative or positive connotation?

Sound Research

Non - Diegetic

This is sound that is not visible to the audience. The digesis cannot be seen, for example a voice over.

Diegetic

This is sound that is visible to the audience on screen. The digesis can be seen. For example, characters voices or someone knocking on a door.

Sound Bridge

This refers to sound that continues over two or more transitions, this links sound together.

Sound Effects

Sound which is added on top, this excludes dialodue and music. Sound effects are usually added during the post production stage using Foley.

Ambient

This refers to background sound, sound which is happening around the character who is speaking, for example, waves crashing (background sound).

 

Editing Research

Editing

Film editing is the art, technique, and practice of assembling shots into a coherent sequence. The job of an editor is not simply to mechanically put pieces of a film together, cut off film slates, or edit dialogue scenes.

Continuity Editing

Every sort of editing formulates this way, it is used in almost all films and TV programmes. It gives the impression to the audience that the broken down filming is consistent. This sort of editing can also help to show cross-cutting (scenes that were not shot in the same place) where the film cuts between two scenes to show two different parts of the narrative which happens simultaneously. We will be using this in our piece to make sure that our opening sequence has a continuous flow.

Montage Editing

It is the opposite of continuity editing, this is because the cuts are obvious to the audience and it doesn't create the constant flow that continuity editing creates. It juxtaposes images to create meaning.

Cross dissolve

When one images dissolves into the next image.

Wipe

When one film clip wipes out the previous film clip that was on screen beforehand.
