What is Audience Feedback?
To the film producers and directors, the audience feedback is an important part of production, because this way they can see whether the audience enjoyed the film or whether slight alterations need to be implemented in the film in order to make it more desirable to watch.

How can one gain information from their audience? 
The required Feedback can be received from the audience by organising an online survey, containing the screening and then the questions for them to answer. A second way would be to project a screening of the Rough Cut of the film in front of the requested target audience followed by a discussion. 
From similar Feedback results,the industry and the production can benefit, because the audience can step in the shoes of the directors and decide whether there should be alterations or the continuity of the film is working just fine. Another bennefit would be that from the altered version, the targeted audience can expand or the number of viewers would increase, causing the income from the film to further increase.

I took the liberty to split the results I had recieved in order to order them in two categories:

Positive Comments that the production has received: 

These are the comments that me and my group had recieved from our targeted audience. From them, I can very surely varify that we are covering many of the requested convections in order to create an interesting thriller.

Comment 1: This  thriller was interesting as it gave an entire new perspective to how the audience`s ordinary life can change in the matter of minutes. 

Comment 2: The story flowed really well with no gaps. "It was enjoyable to watch and kept me on my feet". 

Comment 3: "This interested me in the way killers can think and made me scream from some points". "Seeing how close villains can hide next to their victims is something rare and phenomenal".

Improvements required for the production from the audience:

Some issues were   adressed towards our team in order for us to improve. The following comments present the main issues that we needed to improve.

Comment 1: "One issue is that it is hard in the begining of  the opening sequence to see, because it is too dark". ThIn order to improve this key issue, we should brighten the colour of the scenes in order for the audience to appriciate the action that is happening in the motion picture.

Comment 2: "There seems to be too much characters". "It confuses me with what it is happening". The reason why there was too much characters was that in the last evening when we were short of one main character (The Husband). This meant that a second person, had to fill in the scenes where our main character had to be filmed. Therefore, we will need to make sure to retake the opening sequence scenes where the main character will be played by one person.

Comment 3: "The sound effects that were used, seemed to be not scary enough". this means that they should be changed and the synchronising of them as well in order to improve the effect of reality upon the viewer`s feelings.

In conclusion, our thriller followed the aims of creating a two minute opening sequence; we used all the conventions and made it seem as real as possible.
