Audience Feedback - Review

After reviewing all of the audience feedback which our group collected, I found it interesting how the audience's opinion varied upon the invisibility effect used in our film. The majority of viewers said that it wasn't realistic in the sense that invisiblity is a realistic subject, as it doesn't happen in reality, but it was realistic in the belief that it was effective in showing how the character felt. These particular scenes are effective in showing how the protagonist disappears, and how she her feelings are presented:

1. Canteen Scene

The audience said that up until the canteen scene they would not have known that the character turns invisible. The cross dissolve which we used in effective in realistically showing the audience that she disappears due to the necklace, but it also creative. However, this does not happen until 2 minutes into the film, so perhaps we could shoot another scene, or include the invisiblity effect earlier in the narrative, so that the audience's understanding is curren throughout the film.

2. Corridor Scene

This scene is imperative to the narrative of the film, as it allows the audience to see that the character is being bullied. From the audience feedbackwe found that they found it engaging, and easy to understand. Furthermore, they also felt that they could relate to the character, as bullying is a huge issue in most schools, and the issue was portrayed well. However, after viewing the film back, I feel that some of the shots could be reframed in order to engage the audience further, but also to make the film look neat, to match the continuity.

3. Toilet Scene


The audience found that this was the most effective scene in the films entirety at showing the invisibility effect. The majoirty of viewers said that they were "shocked" and "suprised" to see the character physically disappearing in the mirror. I am really pleased with the way in which we have edited this scene, as I also personally believe the continuity and effects used,such as the fade, work succesfully. However, I feel that the delay after the character disappears, in mid long shot, should be shortened, as I feel that the continuity could be better.

4. Pond Scene

The ending, the audience said, was filmed particularly well, as the location is both eerie, but has a sense of beauty. The desolute area is also effective in isolating the character, and her emotions. The contrast and brightness has been purposely increased in order for the scene to have a mysterious element to it. Also, the over exposure enables the scene to be recognisable in the film. The non-diagetic music also enables the eerie effect to be enhanced, creative tension, and suspense.


Overall, I feel that after a few corrections such as framing, and lighting, the invisibility effect with look realistic, and the characters emotions can be succesfully shown.
