Audience feedback

For our audience feedback we showed a range of people the film and asked then what it was they liked about it and what they thought we could improve we asked a range of people who we thought represented our target audience ranging from about 15-21. We sat them all down and asked them to watch the film and then asked for their opinions after.

David Mais 21- '' I really enjoyed the opening i thought the action of the scene was really high paced and made the scene move really quickly adding to the evident sense of tension and suspense. I really like the idea of the shots of the villainous character in various areas of the train station it really highlights the mystery surrounding the character as to the who they may be. I would definitely keep watching to see the storyline revealed.''


Sam Humphreys 15- ''I did really enjoy the opening and thought the lighting of the train station created a really spooky atmosphere. I liked the images of the masked figure and thought that they were really haunting and scary. I found it a bit hard to understand the storyline. My favourite bit was at the end when the female character is tapped on the shoulder and the really fast train goes past. It was so unsuspecting that it made me jump out my skin!''

Most people told us they really liked the setting of our thriller and thought the lighting of the train station created a really tense atmosphere. They also said that they like the sped up shots of the villain character and said that it created a feeling of being stalked or watched. They also said that they like the idea of a masked figure haunting dreams they said that once this was explained tot them they would have understood and that they thought if we were to make a full length film we would have to reveal the plot within this so the audience were clear.They said they thought the ending was really good and they thought the idea of the female being approached by the masked figure and immediately a train storms past created  a sense of  fear and caused them to jump as evident in a large number of successful thrillers.

They thought the titles themselves could have been a bit slower and they felt that they seemed a bit rushed. but they did like the idea of the white font standing out against the dark background and the blurred edges which they felt emphasised the dream theme of the thriller highlighting a sense of mystery.
Unfortunately a number of  people said that the storyline left them confused and they found it hard to differentiate between the dream and reality. They said that this enigma would keep them watching in order to find out the plot of the story. And obviously if made into a full length film the storyline would conclude itself.

Ella Franich 16- ''I don't really watch very many thrillers as i find them quite scary, but i really enjoyed this i like the idea of the vulnerable female character being followed by the unknown masked figure.And the idea of somebody being able to enter into another dream is brilliant! i love the idea of someone being stabbed in their dream and waking up to a real wound.''
