SHOW YOUR FILM TO SEVERAL DIFFERENT TEST AUDIENCES!
DO NOT ONLY TAKE 1 YEAR TO MAKE IT BUT TAKE SEVERAL YEARS IF IT IS A BIG PROJECT!
Directors and editors spend too long inside a room and if it's only their eyes staring at the screen, they may think this scene is good and the dialogue is good, but when they show it to an audience, they realize it wasn't that great. Sure, they do show a movie to a test screen audience but this is only a few people who more than likely are fans of the director, or somehow got a special invitation where they will not fully speak their mind. This is why it is best to actually invite a lot of outsiders with signing deals of course so they do not tell anyone else and thus get multiple opinions of the film.
That way we will never again get another terrible Suicide Squad, mediocre BvS and Cruise the Mummy that all had great artwork and scripts (read the Suicide Squad novel) yet was ruined when it came to filming it and reshooting it.
Films are too rushed nowadays (some CGI on Black Panther, Homecoming) when if they properly spent time on them and showed multiple people the film to get all different opinions then the films would not be as bad as they are.
>Test audiences are all plebeians though. Rogue One's test audience was alright
>Have Darth Vader appear at end >Reshoot Jyn and Calrissian's death with hugging another as they go down elevator and die on the planet along with Krennic I still really wanna see the alternate ending with Krennic walking on the beach when everyone is dead around him but having Jyn run past AT AT's firing at her as supposedly she and Calrissian take off in a ship and are blown up (supposedly that was the ending) wouldn't have been a good ending.

This is a true reddit post. Some tourist who comes here and thinks we give a shit about his blog post.

Better idea Skip the test audiences altogether and just make the fucking movie the way the director/whoever originally envisioned it. Have the balls to say "This is my movie. Fuck china. Fuck the sponsors. Fuck the critics. And fuck you."
Michael Harris
No test audiences, ever. Goddammit. Stop focus grouping the life out of movies.

>take 5 years to make a movie
lol movies aren't videogames. They're cheaper and shorter to make.
David Hughes
>lol movies aren't videogames CoD makes a game every year with a 8 - 10 hour campaign. I don't think it takes them 5 years to make the campaign
Michael Nelson
>test audiences stopped reading right there
Aaron Evans
I like this guys attitude
what even is a test audience
Gabriel Rogers
it took em about 2-3 years if you wanna be strict about full house developmental, to make any of the notably good ones that get a classic HD edition
Christopher Ramirez
Then don't make trendy shit movies. People respond to real, high quality movies regardless of what year it is.
Ayden Smith
What's the point of test audiences? You've already made the movie. Butchering it and making adjustments, corrupting director's original vision only makes things worse.
Jace Nguyen
Really? That's what you think is happening? They just aren't focus grouping enough? And scenes come out bad because of Dunning-Kruger effect? JFC

playing a rough cut of the movie to a group of people who have dials. they spin the dial one way as they like parts and the other way as they don't
disney, fox, and sony uses these.
Nicholas Scott
The COD games have like 3 studios working on them. Movies have only one.
Thomas Young
If all directors had creative freedom and final cut privileges, it would be easier to sort the wheat from the chaff.
Test audiences are fucking cancer.

>read the Suicide Squad novel PFFFFTAHAHAHAHAHA

This is the only true path real cinema

>Nintendo >Sega >not a CPS-2 (Capcom Play System 2, a 1993 arcade system)
this, people are retarded and you need to shove your vision down their throat, not the other way around
Jayden Cruz
Do you seriously think movies should be designed by a bunch of mouthbreathers? That we should shape our films based on what average people think about them?
Justin Robinson
No. I didn't say that at all. Did you read my posts? What the fuck planet are you on freakish retard
Joshua Baker
>SHOW YOUR FILM TO SEVERAL DIFFERENT TEST AUDIENCES! This is literally the first sentence of your post, you mongoloid. Test audiences are made up of average people. There's no reason to use test audiences unless you're invested in what they have to say.
Elijah Thomas
is this your first day on the site champ? learn to read a thread. i was literally asked what they were
Thomas Ross
After suggesting that movies rely on test audiences for direction.
