My Questionn

aireI ask one of my teachers if he could hand this questionnaire out in one of his class’s and

how them my video and them get them to fill the

questionnaire out. The age group that he showed my

short film to was aged 17-18 years old. In the class had 22

people in them and I have taken the results and put the information into a chart to

make it easier to understand.

Out of the 22 responses I got back I randomly picked this one as my example. As you can see it is a filled in response to the questions

that I asked

Audience Results

Overall, the feedback I received from the random questionnaire of 17-18 year olds, was very positive. The results from question 1 were very positive with almost everyone getting all of the stereotypes correct. But the ones who got it wrong, either stated the colour of the birds, or got caught out with the last group

of friends as they were meant to be misfit birds but a few people struggled with that. Question 2 also received very positive feed back with 20 out of 22 saying the backgrounds did go well with that

characters. The majority of people found the nerd and the girls background to be the most effective. The 2 that got it wrong either did not give proper answers or did not understand the question. Question 3 had got very positive feedback with 20 out of 22 understanding the narrative and the moral. When I wrote the

question for question 4 I made it far to vague. As a result of this I get some age groups such as ‘teenager’ and I got some saying ‘5-14’ meaning that it was very hard to accurately chart. But from the answers I thought were correct I put them in a chart. Just about everyone got it correct with younger aged people, but some people said teenagers and I didn’t count that as I was looking for more 5 year olds. Question 5 was very helpful to me as this is the one thing I was most unsure about. But from my audience feedback I now know that I should go with what I thought was right as my audience feedback

also agree with that. The majority went with keeping the talking noises as they are. The comments I received about this were things like, ‘you can tell enough just from the eyes’ which was the exact

response I was going for. Question 6 also had a clear decision with all but one person saying the music in the background was appropriate. They really like how the music in the background reflected the mood

of Bernard which was what I was going for. The only person that didn’t like it said they didn’t like the transitions between the different music. Question 7 once again was a little to vague as I asked ‘what

improvements would you make’ meaning they could say anything, so charting it up was pretty tricky. But I found that there were 8 main improvements that people would make so I charted that up. The two most put down points were no improvements and music transitions. Finally question 8 was what would you

rate it out of 10 and I worked out the average to be 8. This is a very positive response to my short film.

What I Have Discovered From My Feedback!

In response to my audience feedback the only real negative feedback I got were about my music

transitions. In response to this feedback I have been looking into how I could change/ improve these

transitions and I have noticed one or two things that have been pointed out to me that could be changed. There were a couple of suggestions about making the narrative clearer but due to the time restrictions

this will no longer be possible to do.
