Questionnaire example

Below is a copy of a questionnaire that we created for people to fill in when they watched our film. we handed these out to people in our target audience and got a range of age results that were in our target market. We made sure we asked them specific questions so that we covered the range of criteria for a strong mark. We also tried to cover this criteria in as few questions as possible in order not to inconvenience our audience, this means we had to make our questions precise and to the point. The showing and the questionnaires were a success and we hope to use our results in our evaluation.

This poster is similar to what we want out out come to be, the blackness surrounding the women is the effect that we want in our poster. The tag line gives the impression that the film has a twist which is what we want out poster to give. There is minimal text on this poster and towards the centre of the poster there is a cake which shows that the semiotics of a birthday party. However in this poster the main focus is on the women rather than the cake which is what we want the focus of our poster to be on.

The sixth sense has a similar plot to our film and the poster has similar colours to our as well. Black is the main colour of the post which connotes the same feeling that we want ours to, the bright colours around the little boy are very much alike to the colours of the candle flames on our cake. The font style looks like chalk handwriting on a blackboard and it gives off the impression of horror

Atonement is another film which has a similar plot to ours because in this film because the lady in the film (Ceilia) lies about the fact that the male character (Robbie) was still alive and she lied in the book so that they could finally be together. The expression of the faces of the characters on the poster are expressions of sadness and the reader doesn't recognise this until they have watched the film and know that it has a sad ending

The above end credits are from a bond film and they are what we want our credits to look like because we have an end shots of a cake burning out and we want our film credits to have that scene in the background but with the writing rolling on top of them which is what happens in these credits.


The above video has a credit sequence in which is simple but yet effective because they manage to get all of the text on the screen effectively but cutting from once sequence of writing to the other, this is a possibility for our film.
