feedback of 'STERLING'


First screening: audience feedback
We screened our product to our class and lecturer and these are the results we got back. I think this was a good idea because we’ve all studied this subject know so we should all show some understanding. Which means they should know what they are looking for, also should mean their feedback should be more detailed.


Positive feedback
1. Good use of music, goes well with the characters and corresponds with what is going on.
2. Good titles, work well with the mood created and whats on screen.
3. Clear narrative, easy to follow, nice enigma at the end.
4. Good storyline, develops and contains noir conventions.
5. Well constructed flashbacks, works well within the story.
6. Nice variety of effects and transitions.
7. Good quality shots, nice variety.
8. Lighting worked well to create an atmosphere.
9. Nice use of props and make up, excellent locations.

Negative feedback
1. Voice over doesnt fit well within music at parts.
2. Voiceovers voice doesn’t suite the characters.
3. Could have used more noir styled shots.
4. More voice overs could have been used.

Our aim was to attract a target audience of 15-30. Our feedback shows that we met that aim and our use of characters and the way we stylised them, speaks to the audience and entertains them. Also our representations work well, the femme fatale looks convincing and plays her role well, "mr big" looks dark and dodgy and threatening, the protagonist looks convincing, like your everyday working man who gets taken into a world of crime, and we achieved our goals by good use of mise en scene, cinematography, editing and planning.
