The result of my test(An investigate of my film work Friendship)

After I finish my film work Friendship, my tutor Julius suggests me to do a test for it. So I design an investigation of my audience. 25 audiences complete my investigation, they give their opinion to my work, and they give some good suggestions for me.

This is some questionnaires of the test, about 18, everybody signed on it：(And I do others online by personal):

Then, I study on these questionnaires one by one. And I got some result. Firstly,100% people understand the story of the film. That makes me very happy. Secondly, I will use some charts to show the answer of my questionnaires.

This is the first question's answer. The question is: What is the director wants to talk about do you think? According to the chart, we can see two people select "friendship", 5 people choose "hypocritical", 7 people choose "human nature" and 9 people choose people's inner world. Actually, I give five options for this question. But nobody chooses the fifth option: others.

There are about 2～3 people choose more than one option. When I write the screenplay, I want to tell a story to satirize some friendships. I didn't design these options for this question. After testing my film, I realized how audience thinks about my work. That will help me to improve my work indeed.

Did people sometimes think one way and act another thing in real life? My answer is Yes. Because I did. However, not everyone thinks they have done it. There are three people think they never did this. But we still can see 90% people did. So these audiences will identify with the emotion in the film. Actually, another three people can understand, too. 

So I ask them: when you did it, how did you show your emotion changing? That's a question hard to answer because a few people can remember that. I still got some results. The first one is facial expression. That is a really important point. The second one is to stop talking. Yes, I will do that as well. And the third one is nothing. That is very normal because it's our inner world, we need to hide it instead of expressing it. But nothing is very hard to show in the film～～

The last chart shows the audience prefers which way to show character's emotion in the film. I give four options for this question. And most people prefer voice-over and music. About 20% people like body language, and only 10% people choose subtitle. The interesting thing is there are a few people give other answers. That will be very good suggestions for me. 

So, the result of my test is almost people can understand my work and they like the voice-over in the film. I consider that voice-over, body language and music can be combined to show the character's emotion. That will be more effective. I will do more research on the facial expression and people's habit. And I'm sure I will try to use it in my future work.
