BLOG CLOSED

Well, we are at the end of the line. After many trials and tribulations, hinderences and hiccups we ended up making a sequence that wasn't half bad. This does, however, mean this is the last post on this blog and therefore it is closed and no longer in business.

We got the audience to fill in a questionnaire and here are some mathematical representations on our results (Some of the percentages they add up to below 100% due to rounding) ;

17 - 44%

As well as these results some trends were recognised in the questions about what the audience liked and disliked;

What did you like;
The top few elements of our sequence that were mentioned were the music, atmosphere, camera work, lighting and titles. Particularly in regards to the lighting and atmosphere this is a result we wished to achieve being that they were two key aspects of our sequence.

What didn't you like;
The two main points raised were that the sequence felt too slow and that there was a certain element of confusion from the sequence. The latter of the points can be classed as both a positive and negative, as we always aimed by the ending shot to leave a feeling of suspense and enigma. I think that by "confusion" the audience were aware of what was happening in the sequence but wanted to know the motives behind it. Other points raised were the lack of dialogue and the plot line (which i think can link with the confusion point).
