Post Production Survey

Once completed our work we showed the opening to a class of 30 year-10 students, together with a presentation that explained many of our choices; afterwards we gave a post-production survey to ask what they thought about our video and explanation. Here are a couple of photos showing how some students responded to our questions:

Reading the answers on our surveys we found both positive and negative comments: as a general guideline they all liked our use of the editind (some people mentioned the quality of the stop-motion), but many of them thought that the non-diegetic sound could have been used in a better way; according to their opinion, the music was a bit too slow and repetitive and should have started at the beginning of the film.

About the use of camera shots almost everyone wrote positive comments, while the question on mise-en-scene generated different opinions, due to the fact that there are many different ways of expressing what we were trying to.

My opinion is that, from a neutral point of view, both positive comments and criticisms were fair, expecially the ones on sound: it took a long time of research to find a copyright-free source that could give us something acceptable and perhaps we could have found some better music by spending more time together on our work.
