evaluation

I used lots of different methods to find out what a potential audience might think of my film.
One of the methods was the internet. Using www.facebook.com, I could reach a wider audience, a network of people my age, and would perhaps get honest answers, as people might feel less inclined to say nice things from safety from behind their screens.
On Facebook, I got good feedback on the sound and sound effects , an area of film that I had worked quite hard on, and even got feedback from someone my age who had seen a Spaghetti-Western – quote them: ‘Frank has effectively and economically applied the techniques so commonly found in the genre’ .
So from the internet feedback I found out that there was lots of different areas of my film that different people could enjoy, and that fans of Spaghetti-Westerns could enjoy my film as much as people who had not seen them.

I got more feedback from my class. I thought it would be interesting to get their opinions, as they had recently created short films and could provide intuitive feedback. I gave them a questionnaire after screening my film, as using a questionnaire I would be able to focus their attentions on specific detail; on areas I was concerned about.
I learnt that having a cross instead of a woman was ‘suitable’ and ‘ok’ and that the location was good, but asked whether they cared about the outcome of the duel, I received mixed feedback – someone suggested I could have provided more detail about the cowboy.
