Audience Screening
Our project guidelines require that we undertake some audience testing to ensure that we don’t become overwhelmed by our own greatness! It’s amazing how much a fresh pair of eyes and ears can make you see your work in a different light. We showed our work to a seminar of first years to gauge their reaction and get comments and opinion. The benefit of using first year students is that they haven’t yet been introduced to the tools and techniques that we have used on the project, Maya being taught in the first year and green screen techniques in the third.
The reaction we got was generally positive and we have taken away some useful suggestions that we’ll be implimenting if we can. We only had a rough cut of the film to show to the seminar and so inevitably several of the comments were based on aspects that weren’t complete yet.
