Feed back on final opening sequence

I recieve feedback on my final openign sequence, from both Jake and Jim, and two students from the Level 2 media diploma group.

Here is the feedback i got from the first student:


What kind of "genre" do you think this film belongs to? why?

Animation

What do you think the "Target Audience" of this film would be? why?

Elderly people or young children.
It depends on what the actual story line would be

What is your favourite image from this film? why?

The first few shots of the boy walking towards and through the gate, becuase they look very arty and more thought out than the others.

If you were to borrow one idea from this film for your own film-making project, what would it be and why?

I like the way that the pictures have been made to look down and the music goes well with the type of effect that is created by the colours in the pictures.



Here is the feedback i got from the 2nd student:


What kind of "genre" do you think this film belongs to? why?

Family drama, music suggests this along with the use of the child actor and cartoon stlye effect, with story line set in school.

Who do you think the "target audience" of this film would be? why?

8-12 year olds, feel of the film and relevance of the siuation suggests this

What is your favourite image from this film? why?

Use of pictures to show plot line, effect of past pictures.






Here is the feedback i got from Jake & Jim:

Overall very good film opening, maybe could be a bit shorter as its a little long and drags slighty.
Also the opening could do with more of a "bread trail", as in, little hints as to whom the character is, for example his personaility and such. But overall very good!
