Planning survey results

1. Planning survey results
& summary
By Josh Davey

2. Q1
From this question, I
have found that the
target audience feel
that my plot is
conventional, and will
therefore appeal to
them, meaning my
product is on the
correct pathway
already.

3. Q2
From this question, I
have found that the
target audience think
that I’ve used correct
shots that are not only
conventional but also
represent the
characters in the
correct way. So, so far
there are no
improvements needed
in my planning.

4. Q3
From this question, I
have found out that
my script is
conventional, and that
it creates the correct
key themes being
tension and mystery, as
100% of the audience
voted yes.

5. Q4
From this question I
have found that the
majority think that my
shot list and film idea
is entirely conventional
and doesn’t need
improving upon. The
minority thinks I could
add more mystery and
close-ups, which is
something I will
definitely consider
when it comes to the
finished version.

6. Q5
The majority of people
think my animatic
shows off the idea
correctly, the other
half yet 10% do
not, therefore meaning
I have some improving
to do, in which i will
do the following:
-Add titles to my
animatic
-Add sound where
needed to show a
range of technical
elements that will be
listed.

7. Q6
The majority of people
think that I’ve covered
every potential risk but
some think
otherwise, so I will
completely go over my
risk assessment and
check if there are
anymore possible risks
that could occur.

8. Q7
Every person who
answered this question
has agreed with my
justification of
locations, as I’ve
clearly stated why I’m
using each
location, and the
benefits of doing
so, within my planning.

9. Q8
All of the survey takers
agreed the actors are
very well suited to
their roles, and that
they all look the
part, so there’s no
improvement needed
there.

10. Q9
The majority of people think
there are no more planning
improvements needed, but
others think I should improve
the animatic, make the
planning extremely
detailed, add more tension
and make camera movement
more fluid.
In response to this, I will
improve the animatic with
sound and titles, and will
practise with more test shots
and scene demos to ensure
the shots can be executed
correctly, and I will add more
tension if I’m not happy with
the amount within the first
draft.

11. Q10
Overall when asking whether my planning is sufficient and
conventional enough, I received all positive votes, with an average
rating of 9.5, which basically means there are a few improvements
needed, as listed on the next slide.

12. Improvements:
Overall from this questionnaire, I have found a variety of improvements
that I can use to make my planning even more conventional and
appealing, being:
•Improving the animatic – adding sound and titles
•Adding more tension - which I will do if needed after the first draft, where
I will write in new tense scenes
•Make the camera movement more fluid – Which I will do with test shots and
scene demos to ensure I’ve mastered the shots and if not I can stabilise the
footage in post production.
•Double check the risk assessment – I will go over the risk assessment and
ensure I’ve covered all potential risks, and will add a section where I’ll
state how I’ll overcome each risk individually
Overall, this survey has aided my planning, and has therefore allowed me to
improve and ensure that my production is conventional and definitely meets
the criteria of appealing to the specific target audience.
