Audience Research 2

This is my questionnaire which will help me evaluate the first draft of my intro script. The intro is two minutes long and is in the genre social realism. This means that the films is based on social or political events that occur in our every day lives.

Firstly please read once through the intro script attached to this questionnaire. The audio and visual are next to each other, so reading each paragraph with its corresponding part will help you to visualize the action and dialogue. If you need to read the script again please do.


1) Is the opening scene to my film engaging? If so, why?
