Student Feedback

Using this This is the feedback which we gained our giving our treatment to our class. feedback allows us to improve our video by making changes using the ideas of the class. This allows us to write about changes throughout the process. In total we had fifteen students fill out the questionnaire. Here are the results;

1. How old are you?

 Ages ranged from 17 - 18. 

 2. Gender?

6 were female, 2 did not specify, and 7 were male.

 3. Have you seen the Blair Witch project?

Out of the fifteen students, thirteen people said they hadn’t actually heard of the Blair Witch Project. This could cause a problem as we intended to use this as part of our intertextuality when filming the atmospheric shots in the forest. To improve this intertextuality we could try and find a more recent film which uses the same ideas as Blair witch project so more people would understand the reference.
