Target Audience Feedback



For our target audience we eith asked people to come and watch out final product on the macs or we sent them the video through email. We then asked them to complete a survey about our film and we asked them what they thought of it.




Lucy - " the jump cuts between the victim and the zombie causes tension"


Ellie - " The soundtracks were appropriate for the specific scenes"



Below are the questions for the survey we asked people.


Below is the results we recieved from the survey

1. Do you think our film fitted into the genre of horror?



2. Which part of the film did you think was the best?
For this question we got a range of results, but the answer which appeared the most was 'when the zombie disappeared from behind the victim on the swing' over 30% of the responses we recieved back enjoyed this part the most. When asking them why they put that, people responded that it was the part which created the most tension because you didn't know where the zombie was.

3. Which part of the film did you like the least?
For this question people suggested that they would have liked to have seen more violence in the film, they suggested that the part where the zombie attacked the victim could have shown more than it did. We felt that this was very constructive because it helped us when looking at the BBFC rating; because we felt that this suggested that our film didn't show much violence.

4. If this was the beginning of a full length film would you watch the full length version?



5. Did the sound in the background add to the suspense?



6. Did the last shot of the zombie work effectively in your opinion?



7. Did you fully understand the plot of our film?



8. Did you know what was going to happen?


9. Where you frightened by the ending?


10. Was the build up to the zombie character well timed in your opinion?
All the responses we recieved said they thought the build up to the zombie character was well timed, the said that they felt that because you couldn't see the zombie's face very well until the end it created a good level of tension and made them want to watch more to see the zombie.

Overall we are very happy with our target audience feedback, it was very positive and helpful for when we were considering what BBFC rating we should give our final product. We also feel that we reached that audience we intended to target, and that our film fitted well into the zombie horror genre.

Final Certificate Rating

After studying our final film we decided that the suitable certificate rating for our film would be a 12. We came to this conclusion because our film contains moderate levels of violence. However strong violence is only suggested and does not show detail. Therefore we feel it doesn't need a certificate rating of 15. Our film does not contain any strong language or the use of drugs. However the our film insinuates violence and shows some gore content with the appearance of the main zombie character, which why we believe it shouldn't be shown to a audience that's younger that 12.

Below is a print screen from the Instagram account we made to update our progress with pictures. This is including photos which were taken on the day of filming and during the filming. We found Instagram was a good way to show our progress as it is a simple way to record evidence and also interact with the audience if necessary

This is the production splash we designed for our film. Once we put this on iMovie we edited it more, we changed the lighting on it and we felt it helped suggest a horror film theme as well as a film industry theme.
