Audience Response

So far we have shown our piece to two student audience between the ages of 16 and 18. Obviously this is only one group of a much wider audience. Naturally, short films are aimed at fans of short film, but I feel that our film can also be targetted at people interested in real life issues such as fatherhood.

From our feedback I found that the majority of respondants felt that the film was understandable and that we had successfully merged documentary with drama. For example, 12 out of 15 respondants felt, after watching the film, that Drama and Documentary are a 'good combinantion in shot film'. The majority of respondants also felt that scripted drama and documentary work well within our film.

The respondants also felt that the films success was mainly down to the scipting, which, I feel, was one of the strongest aspects of our film. They felt that the script was 'to-the-point' and believable, not unrealistic, which is what we intially set out to achieve.
