Post Production: Seeking a second opinion from someone outside our target audience

Seeking a second opinion

Having uploaded the final edit and being proud of what my group and i achieved,I sought out a second opinion to my friend who doesnt fit the  audience of whom this film was targeted at. Shes 23 and has no interest in psychological thrillers. I asked her a series of questions.

1) Did you like the title sequence we have created?
Considering this is an AS low budget production the company titles were very professional. Although i didn't understand the plot line but i knewit is centralized around the boy we continuously see 
2)Was it obvious what the film was about?
It not very obvious. You telling me its about dreams and a boy who can controll his own dreams made me realise it is

3) What was your favorite part?
The beginning when the film starts and his shoe comes in. That was very Hollywood style and got me very excited.4)Would you recommend this to a friend?
I wouldnt recommend it to anyone who doesnt have an interest in thrillers as they might be confused

5)Who do you think the film should be targeted at?
Teenagers.

6)Any good aspects of the film, such as sound, music ,cinematography?
The croplines made the film look professional and epic!. Despite it being an AS media production it looked quite professional.The cinematography of it all was impressive


7)Would you go and see it ?
Maybe/maybe not. 
* What do you think we can improve on?
The film itself is very jumpy and the cuts aren't precise. To me i think the storyline needs to be tighter and more clearer so it can be friendly to people who have never seen a psychological thriller before.


Once again Having heard her feedback i totally understand where she is coming from. The feedback is much better from our second rough cut and i am very pleased that people are impressed with the quality of our camera! However once again i agree that our story line is very faint and not clear. Having said that there is nothing i can do now to change this and once again hope that to other audiences who are familiar with the mystery of psychological thrillers can relate and understand the opening of our film.
