Testing Procedures

The final solution will be a thirty minute horror film that makes effective use of filming and editing techniques. For my testing procedures, I am going to have as many people view it as possible. The audience will be from ages 14-45. I’m going to try and represent the ages as evenly as possible, although there will most likely be more in the lower age bracket just because I am in high school. The screenings will take place at my house and at school. I will distribute a survey form that I had previously created for audience member to fill out. I will make a short introduction, and then I will play the movie. After the test I will give the audience time to complete the survey. I will then collect the forms and store them in a folder. I will repeat this test several times for other age groups up to and including the maximum of my target audience. It will also make sense to include a few above the target audience age group as outliers. If necessary, I can repeat this test as many times as needed. Following is a numbered list detailing the testing procedure step by step.




Testing Procedure Steps
1. Distribute the survey form to each person as they arrive.
2. Make a short introduction to the movie.
3. Play the movie for the first audience.
4. Collect all the survey forms.
5. Repeat steps 1-5 for all subsequent audiences.
6. Review all feedback and, if necessary, make changes to the movie.
