idea 1 
Idea 1 this storyline sounds really good. it makes me want to see more 
I don't feel that i would like to watch these films, as i don't like the endings
i don't feel that these story lines will make much sense if they are a short film as they include a lot of different characters, this will be hard to make details for each in a short time
they sound too similar but idea go for idea 2
 i don't like the begging of idea 2 i think the object should be something else
 I think idea one but i would like to see a twist, this would make it much better
idea 1 however i feel this idea could be better throughout.

From these results from our questionnaire we found out valuable information which helped us make a decision. This quantitative information was collected through social networking sites this was helpful for us compared to the video questionnaire as we found that more people from a wider audience answered our questionnaire.  From these results we found a limited demographic to our audience this is good because we now know our ideas are aimed at a   certain audience within the yorkshire region. This is a good thing however this happened because we did not have the ability to go to different regions in England. 

from this questionnaire we found a female and male audience however mainly male audience where draw in by our ideas. we also found that the age of people that looked into our film were between 12-20. however from our audience feedback we did find that our ideas were maybe not as good as they possibly could be, so we decided to go back into our ideas here and re think them. We decided to come up with more ideas around our audiences response including aspects like a twist. 

The next stage in our idea building process is to bring out all our ideas from the group and decide on a final film idea . we will create another film idea questionnaire to gather our audiences response to the new idea.  

film idea questionnaire

We sent our questionnaire out via social networking websites to capture a wider audience. We made a decision to create a questionnaire as we didn't find as many responses for the video questionnaire as we would have liked to this was due to the public not willing to take part in the video. This questionnaire will however come to an advantage as we are reaching a wider audience than just our college.

Film idea questionnaire

 Here I created a video version of our questionnaire i did find this useful for myself as it  gave me a better understanding to the equipment I will be using for this project for both the filming and the editing I did for this, unfortunately we did not seem to find as many response as we wished to find. This was due to the majority of people not willing to take part however I did find this really helpful as i improved my knowledge in final cut much better. From this we will send out an electronic version of this questionnaire via social network websites to improve the amount of answers we have from our video questionnaire. This will be better for us as we are reaching a wider audience as this qualatative data captured here is a limited demographic to the audeince we will be capturing as it was filmed in college, this is due to our group not having the ability to travel to different regions to ask different audiences from different places about our film.

Short film analysis-Tom

This is a short film in which I will analyse. It is about a strict school that teaches its pupils that the wrong answer is the correct one. One pupil then disagrees and he has to face the consequences. There is an almost 'faded' effect in the shot which distorts the picture to show the film has a dark theme to it. 
The film uses a lot of close-up shots to show main points of focus. For example, we see a close-up shot of a blackboard early in the film. This shows the blackboard has some significance later on. 
Also, we see a dolly-in zoom shot which zooms in on the speaker in which the headmaster is speaking through. This, again, showing that the speaker is relevant to the storyline. 
Close-up shots are used throughout to show emotion on the characters faces. 
Shot/reverse shot is also used in the film, cutting between the teacher and the pupil during their conversation. 
Mise en scene consists of the props used, such as the blackboard, board rubber, chalk etc.
Costumes included the uniform of the pupils and the teacher who was wearing a suit, giving him a higher status than the pupils as they are all dressed the same and he isn't. 
An extreme close-up font is seen near the end when the pupil who answers the question 'incorrectly', he is then shot by the higher pupils. Although they aren't technically holding guns as they are invisible. In the extreme close-up we see the blackboard with blood then being sprayed onto it. As if he'd been shot. 
Low angle shots are used, looking up. This is filmed from the pupils perspective and shows the teacher (and higher pupils, towards the end) standing above them. This shows he has more power than the pupils. And therefore most fear him. 
At the end, we then see another pupil refusing and writes the correct answer in his book. This is filmed using a medium/close-up shot.
