The facebook page has helped us amazingly in terms of advertising. I have been using my own personal Facebook to advertise Film Secrets page, and our Youtube, which in turn gave us at least 60views for each version of the film! Although we actually only have 25 members in the group, its great that we've managed to spread the word so that we could have 60views!
I also used my own personal facebook to interview a few friends about, asking them which ending they prefer. Here is just one example :
"
Eamon
watched it
the first ending is more uncomfortable
00:50Me
which ones the first ending?
00:51Eamon
i liked the bit where shes in the toilet and theres paper all on the wall
the more graphic ending
number 1
00:51Me
her standing over herself or it ending on the 'blood' dripping out?
00:52Eamon
blood dripping out
ewww"
Youtube has also been fantastic for advertising. And has helped us to choose a final version :)
Sadly we have only received one comment, but this may be due to the fact that only members of Youtube can actually comment on our video, therefore making it a bit more difficult for just anyone to make comments.
I personally used YouTube to comment on another A level student's work, and he in turn left us feedback.
"
twmediaproject (3 days ago) Hey thanks, yeah it's ages - there are two and they total up to about 2 hours long! Feel sorry for the poor person who's got to listen to it all. Love you're work, will you be uploading a final, final piece or is that it - love the toilet scene, how many pieces of paper were there?" |
Yes, even blogger has been great for audience feedback :) It has a fantastic comment option, which can be used by anyone and on any post that we make (even better, it's up to us if we have the comment option or not! )
here are a few of the comments :)

Did you understand the full storyline?
Yes
No
Do you think the use of visual effects were effective?
Yes
No
Do you think the time is filled well?
Yes
No
What did you understand about the film?
The girl obviously came from a broken home and was following in her mother's footsteps through drugs and drinking. ):
What do you think we could improve about the film?
Though it's a convention of the genre, maybe make the plot a little bit more obvious so it has wider appeal :) I personally got it but I can see how some people could be confused by it a bittttt <3"

Love the poster ideas, look really realistic, great research."
ACTUAL RESULTS!
From talking to people, counting the amount of views and the odd comment on youtube, the facebook page & comments on our blogs. It's quite obvious that people definitely prefer version 2.
And from the results from our poll, right here on blogger! 90% of you thought that our short film would be watched for social realism!
well done, you were correct! :)
