We had a test screening where we showed people the rough cut of our opening and asked them to fill in a questionnaire.
The majority of people we asked were between 16 and 18. This was helpful as fit with our target audience but it didn't show us whether or not we could appeal to other audiences which would be needed to make the largest profit possible. Everyone said the enjoyed watching films but only 2 people said their favourite genre was thriller. This allowed us too see whether our film would appeal to people who don't normally watch this genre as much as others.
The test screening showed us what improvements needed to be made. The main problem seemed to be that people didn't understand all of the opening and although we didn't want to give the whole storyline away just in the opening, we didn't want to alienate people by confusing them either.
The majority of people said the soundtrack fitted the film well. A few people said the titles were good but slightly boring. A good suggestion for improvement was to add in some diegetic sound. We had planned on doing this anyway but it reinforced the idea so we knew we needed to do it. Another suggestion was to slow down the camera pan of the classroom as it was too quick which made it confusing.
