These are print screens of the feedback I have received on Youtube. The fact that I have feedback on it just proves that the website was the right place for me to upload the video, and that it really is popular amongst my target audience. I have 57 views and 5 comments, four of which are positive. The negative comment is from an older lady, this makes me feel better because I wasn’t targeting the film at her anyway. Her comment really made me think. I hadn’t really thought about the way it showing teenagers in a bad light. Teenagers already have a bad reputation due to the media and my film has only gone and reinforced what they say. They make all teenagers out to be lazy, smokers, drinkers, criminals and druggies. Ofcourse this it not true, and If anything, I would only ever want to change this view. However, my film includes Sam lying in bed, smoking weed, and stealing – so it only proves what they say to be right unfortunately. I felt that by using a teenager I was being more accurate, conveying the teen/drugs/ crime/action genre and allowing the audience to relate. I just hadn’t thought about how it put the age group in a negative light. By my feedback from my target audience on Youtube though, and the feedback I received on Facebook and from my friends - It seems that they are not bothered, and felt it was really gripping and entertaining. I am really happy that they recognized the camerawork, costume choices, music choices and found the ending shocking. This is exactly what I wanted!! It proves that my decisions were right in the production of my film and that it does appeal to teenagers and young adults. (I looked at the profiles of those who posted, they are all between 16-24)
