Evaluation Question#3

Q) What have you learned from your audience feedback?

As mentioned earlier, the response we got from the audience was quite positive. We were acknowledged for our attempt however we were given few suggestions/criticism. We valued our audience’s opinion and got to learn from our mistakes.

We used three different mediums to gather audience's feedback. These included social websites like Face book, taking interviews and lastly by circulating questionnaires.

The non linear narrative structure was appreciated by many along with the music that had been used in the background. Shots were also acknowledged however the main critics that we received were as follows:

1.       Majority believed that the subtitles were hard to read. Either they passed at very quick speed or they were not illegible due to the font size and colour.

2.       The flashback scenes seemed very confusing to some. They believed that slow dissolve effect should have been added

3.       Some believed that the flashback scenes were not strong enough in the sense that they did not have much impact.

4.       The last scene was too long.

5.       The film seemed very dull maybe because you didn’t use many colors.

Similarly, we received several suggestions as well. Most of which were regarding the flashback scenes. Some of the responses from those to whom the questionnaires were given:

1. 1.       I liked the overall idea of the film. It’s just that you guys have used more of point of view shots that seemed quite boring to me at one point. Instead you guys could have shown scenes where the protagonist had been shown in the scene. I hope you get what I mean. Apart from that brilliant job guys
2. 2.       If I would have been at your place I would definitely have shown more scenes where the guy is shown tortured.
3. 3.       The character was introduced very abruptly. His introduction should have been slow and gradual. Otherwise impressive work
4. 4.       Though the music is good but I believe using eastern music would have been more effective. Like you used tabla towards the end. That seemed more appropriate
5. 5.       A good film, nice concept and everything but maybe the actor could have had more scenes to do.
6. 6.       The narration should have had been throughout the film.
7. 
   

From the audience feedback we have made reached at the conclusion that we should have had used a different and bright colour for the subtitles that could be easily read. Many people had issues with reading the subtitles. Secondly, maybe we could have used more dramatic scenes for the flashback that could have aroused the sentiments of the audience. Similarly, more scenes showing the protagonist being tortured should have been added to spice up the film.

The feedback from the audience was really helpful. We got to learn from our mistakes and decided not to commit them again.
