Q: “Do you think it was different to most short films?”

Yes

No

I was quite glad that my film got this response because I think that it emphasises the fact that I have both used and challenged forms and conventions of typical short films.

Q: “Do you think it was accurately portrayed by the radio trailer?”

Yes

No

I wasn’t disappointed by this because I can understand why people would think this, but I was glad that so many people thought it was relatable and therefore successful.

Q: “What did you like most about the film?”

I really liked the shot where the t-shirt the

boy was wearing matched up with the writing on the wall

Just the music in general

I liked the feeling of symmetry. The fact

that the victim becomes the killer.

Even though there wasn’t

any dialogue I still understood

the story

I liked the way that

emotion was built up

through the music

It was really different

I liked the use of different shots

Q: “Would you have changed anything?”

I would have made the

change of days more obvious

I would have had a gunshot at the end so that you know what happened

Maybe the music at the beginning

The transition between the two pieces of music

From asking my test audience to fill out the questionnaire I have found what they

themselves would change, I have decided that I wont be changing my film because I

am happy with it but also because the positive feedback outweighs the negative

by a lot.
