Audience Research 1

After pitching our idea to the class we had our class leave comments on our blogpost. This was to get a stable response from our class seeing if it was a successful idea or not, and if not why? seeing both the negative and positive reactions to our idea was a good way to stimulate ideas. From receiving both sides of the coin on our presentation idea helped us by seeing the negatives. Making changes where the comments overlap and overall expanding and changing our idea based on these reactions.

 

These were the comments we received, from these i found the main comments to be focusing around the idea of getting skilled actors involved.  While this is going to be a slight problem if i use the contacts i have picked up by taking A-level drama I believe this shouldn't be too much of a problem.
Another comment mentioned the dialogue and sound pollution in the cafe affecting the filming. Due to this problem we have decided to record our dialogue separate from the scene for certain parts. Our reasoning behind this is when the main character(The witness) go's into a monologue, we are using flashbacks as he narrates stopping the need for a constant flow in dialogue.

Idea's which were favored  in the presentation however were the final cliffhanger, detail used and the setting/location. Although there is a possibility the detail we went into can be a downfall, this is due to using the detail to hold us back. Only using the set detail is not what we are hoping to to, although it would be great if we get every shot perfect and create it to plan. We are still open to change, hence i expect subtle differences between our planning and film.
