Audience Feedback

Audience Feedback 

After pitching our idea to the class, we handed out some questionnaires asking the following questions. Here are some answers to our questions that we thought were particularly helpful. 

Would you find any parts confusing, how would we improve this?
"I think it may be difficult to know that she is a witch if you don't know her backstory"

From what you have been told, if you were to watch this would you continue to watch the film?
"Yes it seems interesting and mysterious"

"What are your favourite parts?"
"I like the fact that you are filming underwater"
"I like the music + locations"

Some other suggestions we received-
"You might not want to film the underwater bit in the actual river, will be freezing, in a pool or something to create the illusion"

The comment surrounding how it is difficult to know that she is a witch is something that we took into consideration but then concluded that the uncertainty is part of the film. We do not want to tell our audience that she is a witch from the beginning, this is something that would be developed throughout the rest of the film however while the main focus remains on her journey into the modern world. The purpose of our opening is not to reveal our plot straight away but rather to create the right atmosphere and premise for the story to develop.
