Online feedback

This is the screenshot of the feedback that I collected on Facebook. I put a post and link on Facebook to the video on youtube and asked people to give feedback. All the feedback I got off of Facebook was really positive and I'm really happy that people gave positive feedback and like our title sequence.

This is  the screenshot I took of the comments on the actual video on youtube. All the feedback, once again, was quite positive and encouraging however, the one criticism we go was that the production logo disappears too quickly so this persuaded us to change it as we believe that feedback is crucial in the process of making any piece of work.  

Overall summary of feedback.

It was important for us to collect feedback from our potential audience so we could improve our title sequence if needed.


We posted our title sequence on Youtube to gather feedback from others. Overall, the feedback we collected was very positive however, there were some criticisms offered. One of the criticisms was that when 'SEIZED' came up, it disappeared too quickly, we took this into consideration and after watching the title sequence back we decided that it may be right to edit this part of the sequence so we lengthened the time that the title was screened.


Another way we collected feedback was to screen our title sequence to a selective few to represent as an audience. We showed it to other classes and gave each student a Audience feedback questionnaire we had created ourselves, the feedback gathered in this particular way was quite varied. One particular answer that kept popping up was about the music and that was was in some ways quite annoying to listen to but after taking this into consideration we realised that the students viewing the sequence were of a younger age than we had anticipated for our film overall, therefore we gathered that they may not have appreciated the title sequence as a whole as much as the people of the age we have aimed our title sequence at. Another issue that we found was that quite a few responses came back that people believed the sequence was a 'horror'.


Finally, as we were happy with or final product, we showed it to our media teachers. Unfortunately, we hadn't researched enough into the way the titles appear and didn't notice that the directors name always appears at the end of the opening credits, after realising this we decided to change this to better our title sequence. It's good that we noticed this mistake before the deadline so we could change it so our title sequence was to the best of our ability and looks more professional overall.

Examples of Feedback already collected.

 

Here are two examples of the audience responses that we have already collected. We are hoping to collect a lot more of these. But you can see how people respond along the same lines. I think we can be quite proud of some of the responses we are getting back as they are quite positive.

During today's lesson we mainly added everything to our blogs that is on the tick list and created a questionnaire that would count as our audience feedback. We also put the screen shots of our editing process on our blogs to show the steps of making our project. We started to gather feedback by asking a couple of people to watch our title sequence.

We are all going to post a link to our video on facebook to gather feedback off of friends and family.

Audience feedback.

This is the short questionnaire that we quickly created to give to people after our screening. We would like people to fill out the questionnaire after watching the title sequence - this is our way of collecting audience feedback. 

Final Typography.

This is our final typography the we chose to use for our title sequence. We decided to use this text as it is quite bold. We used a website called Picnik to crete this font. We then chose to download the font so we could use it for all our titles throughout the title sequence. We all agreed to use this text piece as our final one because we thought it represented the character of the stalker and as it is very rough and looks like it's decaying.

Final Music choice.

This is our chosen track we thought it suited the title sequence very well and we also chose this music as it is quite unexpected and isn't overdramatic.

Chosen Track -In the Beginning

Music Research.

Finding music was a hard task within our title sequence. We had to find a piece that fitted in perfectly and that we all thought was just right! We decided to start looking for music, as our music couldn't be copyrighted we chose to look on audio.lgfl website which had a wide variety of music selections.


Here are some of the music choices we originally considered:

Track One - Cold city.

Track Two - In Memoriam.

Track Three - Hell's Harp.

Cast members of our title sequence.

The photos below show the only two people who appeared in our title sequence:

Emily Neil - Emily starred as the girl in our title sequence who was being followed. She is in all the photos in the 'Stalker's journal' and is filmed walking down the street.

Jon Purday - Jon acted as our follower in our title sequence - he is seen towards the beginning and throughout different parts of the sequence however he is mainly silhouetted in the parts that we filmed.

Today we showed our teacher the final cut of our title sequence and she thought it looked quite good. Then I took photos of the cast members and uploaded them - we all added them to our blog and wrote a caption for both the people used in our title sequence. Now we have to finish off everything in the tick list. Also we need to add screen shots of the editing process and our music research and our final song.

04.02.11

We made the finishing touches to our title sequence today and made sure the title sequence ran very smoothly. We are really proud of how our title sequence has turned out. From our previous showing, we have adjusted all of the points that were addressed from the audience and made sure every section of our title sequence is perfect.

02 .02 .11

At the start of today's lesson we all sat around the board and watched different title sequences to keep us on track of how our title sequences should look. Our teacher asked us to have our sequences as near to finished as we could get them so then we could have a presentation at the end of the lesson. So to be able to finish our title sequence our only task for the lesson was to find some music. We found some classical - type music and we thought we should play it alongside our title sequence to see if it suited and it did! It works really well and we really like it - Also  it works so well that we don't have to manipulate the song so it fits. It is quite a fast paced song but suits the pace of our sequence. All we have to do in next lesson is make the final edits like making things fade-in and out and thats about it. After we finish that we are done.
Feedback:
-Fade out our titles as they just disappear.
-Make some final tweeks to tighten it all up.
-Change 'A Sparky Productions' to 'A Sparky Production'.
