Importance of audience feedback

Here is a link to my production blog where I decided to do some audience research: Click Here
Quote from production blog:

"So what did my research tell me?
I found that people where interested in the genre of film that I want to make, although a complex storyline some people didn't like. So for my film I have to make sure it doesn't get too confusing. Also a lot of people didn't know what Post Modernism is, but that is okay because those people liked films like Inception.
People also seem to not mind about having religion de-credited in a film, and they also believe that the general media supports there religion. This is a very good thing, because my film wants to go against the grand narratives of the media, so making a film against something that they support, also these ideas wont be abolished by the general public."

The research told me a lot of things that changed the way I made and scripted my film, so for example I found that people like a complex storyline to a certain degree. From this I changed the first half of my films script which was also emphasised by a another film maker, this change made the story less complex and easier to follow.
Another point which I payed close attention to is the controversy behind my religion representation in the film, so when I asked the public about whether they would be outraged by it by my surprise they were not too bothered as long as I didn't go over the top. So I re worked a bit of the script so that the majority would not be offended by the film.
