Student Questionnaire

Our questionnaire was fairly basic, it comprised of the basic conventions of a questionnaire and as of such was simple and straight forward.
Thanks to this information we recieved some decisive information on the common views of our films, how many people liked the title, what could be improved etc, everything we needed to know, we knew from these results.
In total, 13 people filled in these questionnaires.
The order of the questions for the chart are below:
1. What age group are you?
2. What's your gender?
3. How did you feel about our movie introduction
4. What do you think of the name The Dread Woods?
5. Did it feel and look like an actual movie introduction?
6. Does the music/special effects fit with the feel, (help you feel what is happening)?
7. Do you understand the storyline thus far?
8. Would you watch the movie through to the end (judging from what you’ve seen)?
9. What could we improve upon?
10. Do you have any other comments?
The results to our questionnaire are in chart form for convenience:

Horror movie production companies

In our original plans, the logo and production company weere easy to plan, we were originally in a team of 5 (which was too many people) so fortunately we were split.
This allowed for easier planning and as a result we had decided on a company name and also a logo.
The name was "Spudfish entertainment" which was based off my Xbox live gamertag, we chose this because we were in a creative rut and Spudfish was catchy.
Over the course of time we had changed the logo, the first was the truest to our original plans:


However, everybody else's logos looked better, and I decided it looked too basic, and rather generic.
Therefore I decided to modernise it, with a camera emerging from the mist:

This didn't seem to work either, however. Unfortunately the people watching our film disagreed with the logo and the company name, so we were had to change it.
The title of the company became "Bloodthirsty productions" and the logo was changed altogether.
This in my opinion is better than the original, however, I still have my doubts about it's image as a horror movie company.
However, it seems to fit, so until the next feedback, it stays.
Thank you for reading my blog.

Our horror's first draft

The horror movie we shot was successful in my personal opinion, however, various aspects needed changing.
The first draft's filming spanned over three days, plus an extra day to refilm dark scenes for continuity errors.
Below is our first draft completed:

(Unfortunately the Credit to ZREO in the video isn't coming up, I've uploaded this 3 times now - it's meant to be in the black bit at the end.)
Special thanks to ZREO music for providing the opening title music (shadow temple theme)
