In terms of gaining audience feedback for my final cut of my TV Drama opening, I chose to adopt a more virtual method rather than the orthodox 'paper and pen' method, so to speak. I utilised the website- www.surveymonkey.com - in order to retrieve my audiences responses to both my main task and my ancillaries.
I created a Facebook page in order to show case my work and I invited people within the age range preferred and got them to comment on my work. Subsequently I created a questionnaire via surveymonkey and got them to fill that out as well:
The critique I had received for this was that the pre-opening sequence didn't have any continuity meaning that none of the events flowed. Therefore, I have planned to include extra shots that would help the continuity of the piece. For the beginning, instead of going straight into the ritual, I have chosen to zoom into a house and then initiate the ritual. Subsequently, the phone call will be preceded by a stalker in order to give it some sense whilst keep the narrative distorted. Then before the city shots I will have an eye in order to reinforce the fact that the main character sees the future. Finally, the Chimera Corp. clip will have jump cuts of the Greek letters Lambda, Chi and Nu, whilst having a part where a character is writing down the symbols and the possible connotations of them. This I believe should bring the pre- title sequence to a definitive close and establish an understandable yet distorted narrative.
