Audiance Feedback to finished product.

From my audience feedback, I have learnt several things. To begin, several people who I asked for feedback expressed that they would have liked to see 2 male protagonists and 2 female protagonists instead of 3 males and 1 female. They said this as several believed one female character isn’t enough in a horror film. Everyone who I asked said they enjoyed the female protagonist, as they said it was something new and different in a horror film, breaking the conventions. I also asked them what they thought about my location. Most people liked the fact that I set it within a forest as due to people being more media literate they were able to understand for a forest was a conventional place for a horror movie to take place. When I questioned them about the song, most people said I shouldn’t have used a song and instead used smaller cuts of sound, one example given to my is using violins on a part where a character is being chanced down. Despite this, I stuck with using the music track as I believe that the track its self was suitable.

Re-shoot session.

Yesterday was my first and hopefully last re-shooting session. I filmed at the same place despite some minor changes to the scenery, but hardly noticeable for my needs. I also got some new shots involving an old war bunker and a used camp site which was left. The camp site was apart of my original plan but due to limited props I couldn't make it happen, so this was a very nice surprise.

I re-shot several scenes, such as Aaron up the tree which was satisfactory last time but had to do due to time limits. Furthermore, I re-shot the hug between Hannah and Ricky, adding a pan as Hannah goes to him for the hug to make the shot more effect which couldn't have been achived with a stationery shot which was what I used last time.

Overall I think this filming session was successful, getting several new shots and improved shots which will hopefully improve the quality of my Film Trailer.
