Questionnaire Analysis - Editing

Question 1 - All 10 people said they thought our teaser trailer portrayed a romance genre. This is good because this is the genre it is supposed to portray! Which means, we don't have to change anything to make it look more like a romance film.

Question 2 - The majority of people (7) said they thought we showed about the right amount of the storyline in the trailer; which is a good result. However, 2 people said they thought we showed too much of the storyline and 1 person said not enough. we will need to take this into consideration when we are doing our final draft of editing but it is hard to change anything with a small amount of people disagreeing with what we have put in, this is why it would have been better (given more time) to ask a bigger focus group.

Question 3 - From question 3 we have decided to take out the scene where our main protagonist (Chloe) is sat at the table; 1 person from our focus group said they thought this would be a good idea to take it out and we (as a group) decided that it confuses our audience because there is no relevance to why she is sat at the table and it doesn't create any questions in the audience's head about the storyline.

Question 4 - 1 person from our focus group said that we could add in more happy scenes because there are too many scenes emphasising the distress in Chloes' life. The group has taken this into consideration and we are thinking of filming some more happy scenes to add in, although this will make our teaser trailer longer inless we tak e out some of the other scenes which we dont really feel happy with doing; but we are having a meeting about this shortly.

Question 5 - 9 people said they thought we have used the correct lighting to portray each different mood in our trailer; 1 person said they didnt think we had but when we asked them why not they couldnt give us a reason so this means we dont need to change any of the lighting used.

Question 6 - 8 people said they would like to watch the film after seeing our teaser trailer. This is a good result but we want to get all of our focus group wanting to watch the film as this will give us a wider target audience and will make the film more successful.

Question 7 - 1 person said we should make the ending more of a cliff hanger so the group are goingto discusshow we can do this but we dont have alot of time to do more filming so we might have to change it with the editting.

Question 8 - The main things that were most people's least favourite scene in our teaser trailer were the phones ringing and Chloe getting stood up. We have decided to take out the stood up scene and we are going to re-film the phones ringing; this should improve our teasertrailer to our target audiences' opinions.

Question 9 - All of the poeple in our focus group said that they thought we have used a wide variety of camera angles and shots; this is what we were aiming to do as it helps to create the moods and show the characters feelings without giving too much away.

Question 10 - 6 people felt that they could relate to the main protagonist in our trailer (Chloe). This is what we wanted because then more people are likely to watch the film if they can relate to this storyline in someway.

Question 11 - Most of the 6 people said they could relate to Chloe for escapism etc. This is good because escapism is one of the main reasons why our target audience watch romance films.

Question 12 - We asked our focus group to rate our teaser trailer for how much they would like to watch the film between 1 and 5 (5 being allot and 1 being not much). 4 people rated our trailer as a 3, 4 people rated it as a 4 and 2 people rated it as a 5! The group is really pleased with these results as there were not people rating it lower than a 3! This means our teaser trailer does what it is supposed to do (get the target audience wanting to watch the film), also with the changes that we are going to make, hopefully we will get more people rating it even higher!
