Peer Evaluation - Audience Feedback

We recently showed our first draft of our film to a select group of friends and teachers. We received mixed comments however most were negative. There were certain parts of the film that people really liked, I.e. certain camera shots and action sequences. But we received lots of criticism on a lot of things. Mise en Scene was a big problem for us as we had not put our research together properly and had used the wrong type of location for our genre. We hadn't payed enough attention to our audience research. We also received some harsh criticism on certain actors and their un-convincing performance (which again didn't appropriately fit the Genre and style of film we had hoped to achieve). We have however taken alot of the major mistakes under reconsideration. In the final copy of our film we hope that we can deliver an excellent viewing experience to anyone watching.
