Qualitative Feedback, main short film

In order to get the best product possible feedback is a must.

We had finally finished our production and was very excited to show it to some potential consumer for the first preview of our short film Penumbra.

Before we showed the video to them myself and Blaine had written down some questions that we wanted to ask the audience to acquire useful information when exhibiting our product but also finding out about our target audience, if we had correctly targeted our film and if the content fulfilled the needs of this audience.

Because the film is very much inspired by David Lynch with very interesting visual signifiers posing complex questions within the audience that are not always that easy to follow, we wanted to find out if the audience could follow the narrative and if they couldn't, were they the active consumers that we correctly targeted our film at, making them want to discuss the film with others to swap ideas trying to deconstruct and follow the film. This would then come under the two step flow categorization of audience that myself and Blaine wanted to target and you can view my analysis of this target audience if you follow the link below:

Overall receiving feedback on our film was a great way in overall analyzing if we had accomplished our goal and made a film suitable for its target audience fulfilling a niche within the market.
