Audience Feedback



We recieved audience feedback from a group of students within our target audience to find out if our production fulfilled our intentions and whether they found the first scene enjoyable and continue watching.
Here is a sample of the responses we recieved.

Questions asked were:
How successful were the group based on their intentions?
Does the show fit into the context of E4?
Was the genre/sub genre clear?
Who were the target audience and how could you tell this?
What themes and ideas are evident in the show?
In what way were characters/events represented?
Would you watch the rest of the show/series?

Analysis of the audience feedback is available within my evaluation.

Mysteria Website Structure

 
 
Character pages:
Each character page has their name at the top center of the page to show who they are. underneath that they will have a strip of their best photos in which you can scroll through. Under the picture strip they will have their very own wriiten bio written in first person so that the audience can relate to the characters a bit more because it would seem like the characters would be talking to the audience directly. Near the bottom of the page on the left there will be a Top 5 videos of the charcter bar. In this bar which is verticle there will be 5 thumbnails of their top 5 videos. To the far right bottom of the page there will be two boxes a Facebook and Twitter Link box with the logos of the two social network sites in. This will redirect the audience to the characters very own twitter and facebook page. Underneath the facebook and Twitter tab there will be a back button that will redirect the viewer back to the character page. In the centre of the social network bar and the Top 5 videos there will be a comment section which will allow the auidnece to leave their opinion of that character and form a community around the character.

Videos page:
Each video page ( Sneak Peak, Cast & Crew, Bloopers and Behind the Scene) will all have video thumbnails that will allow you to watch the video clip.

1.Creative process:
(Visualising and planning the outcome of the final product)
-Script
-Storyboard
-Moodboard
-Character profiles
-Treatment

2.Essential before filming:
(Preperation for a successful and efficient filming process)
-Location recces
-Equipment list
-Email (permission to use locations)
-Off site booking forms/risk assessment

3.Assisting filming:
(Documents to use during production stage)
-Call Sheet
-Production Schedule
-Shot list

Updates

After our first attempt at filming, we recognised that some of our shots needed to be changed and re-filmed due to various reasons including consistency errors, camera focusing, movement errors, and general improvements to the narrative. Because of this, we decided to adapt our script, storyboard and shotlist to accomodate these changes before re-filming.

Shot list updates



















Storyboard updates




























Character profile updates:
Arter our first attempt at filming, we recognised that we had planned to include far to much dialogue for a 2 minute scene (which is another reason we edited the storyboard) However, in order to cut down on dialogue, we decided to remove Rob's character. This was because we felt it would simplify the narrative by condensing the amount of characters to introduce, and allowed us to focus on the drama, intensity, and decisions the others have to make rather than the focus being on Rob's character.
