'I enjoyed your story and look forward to future progressions'
'Good, I like it. However the distant past is confusing.'
Straw polls:
"Would you be interested in a Short Film depicting the Apocalypse?"
We were so glad that this was appealing to our audiences because we were excited to make an apocalyptic short film due to our interest in that area. We thought it would be a good idea as other medias as well as films are focusing on apocalyptic settings more which means that perhaps there is a audience there to target which are really intrigued by a broken down Earth far away from the norm. If this feedback told us that it wasn't a good idea to do an apocalyptic short film, we would have to change and restart our idea too so this also made sure we were heading in the right direction to create a successful product.
In conclusion we were thrilled to have this feedback as it allowed us to do what we intended to do in the first place and the genre and narrative that we were excited to make.
"What sort of apocalypse would be most interesting to watch?"

"What sort of apocalypse would be most interesting to watch?"
This research helped us understand what kind of story would be more favourable to the audience. We were glad this turned out this way as we wanted to do this kind of background anyway meaning we didn't have to change too many of our ideas to continue. To redo our narrative and include others such as the zombie apocalypse, which we thought was over used, means that we would need more actors, time and creativity which we may not be able to achieve to create a successful short film in this sub genre because of the extra items included in that kind of narrative.
I think Economic meltdown would be the easiest to show although the one with the most votes is also fairly easy too. Although this is true, this one is probably the most boring one that could happen due to the uneventful situations which could have happened due to this. Rioting, famine and full out breakdown in civilization which probably wouldn't leave as many people dead in a short amount of time, which we wanted, so this one would make us have to break up our narrative immediately since the story only takes place a short time after the start of the apocalypse.
Aliens would also be a difficult one to succeed with as we would have to base the whole story behind that instead of focusing purely on Eve as we had more leniency for with the bio warfare narrative, for example creating an encounter or flashbacks revealing what had happened, taking the realism away which shouldn't happen with some of the causes such as natural, world war, economic meltdown and bio warfare. This would have created a whole different feelings onto the narrative as perhaps Eve would be seen as a lucky to have not been killed or abducted, depending what happened.
Natural causes could work with our narrative but now we can see that it would have been hard to actually suggest to the audience and difficult to make realistic without any shots showing the event meaning that we would have to include many special effects. This could work, we did note down ideas of the background of the short film for every genre but this is the one which we couldn't think of many things which wouldn't wipe out everyone on earth if it was as drastic as being alone for a lot of the team roaming the wasteland.
The one which we will go with and the audience backs us, bio warfare. This means we can do what we planned on doing, easily creating a reason why she stayed a live after everyone else died, instead of confusing back stories that the other ones may bring. This could be linked with world war as there could be bio weapons used but we wanted to focus on a singular back story instead of branching two or three together so instead we decided not to release how the bio weapons were released to the public.
In conclusion here, we were glad we got the feedback we did once again and it allowed us to narrow down our narrative and ideas. If we got any other ones we would have to change our narrative and perhaps include things which are identifiable for those genres but instead we can just suggest that something happened without revealing too much and focus more on the subject in the short film, Eve.

This is useful analysis of your feedback, and you have shown how you have taken it forward. Good. Don't forget that you need the same on the edited film.
