Focus Group Results

Here is a screenshot of my partner's facebook page. We decided that as our audience are rather young and our budget to make the film would be low, we should use social media to promote our film. We created a survey and posted that along with the link to our OTS, to try and gain feedback from people of a young age.

Here are the questions and the responses we received:

Setting for our OTS

We used three different settings for our OTS, Calvin's house, another friends house and a street.

In each setting we tried to make it look as real as possible as if it was in the 1980s. In the houses we eliminated any product produced pre-80s and substituted them with iconography used in film noir, for example in the scene with the femme fatal getting ready we left lipstick and a cigarette packet on the dressing table.
When we were filming on the street we made sure that we'd got perfect lighting which came in the form of shooting under a lamppost at night, and made sure that we didn't get any cars in the background which would have ruined the atmosphere.
