Audience Feedback

We showed our trailer to a group of our target audience, 15-25 year olds, taking a different approach from the stereotypical questionnaire we decided that a group discussion would be held afterwards as this is closer to what would actually happen when, groups come out of the cinema and talk about what they saw, what they liked and didn't like, this usually goes on to discussion within the public and within magazines and the press.


This is a table of the good and the bad points that came up within our discussion. in comparison with the feedback we were given for improvement we were very pleased with the aspects our audience enjoyed, however we found that it would not be logical for us to change some aspects of our trailer, we could however improve certain aspects if we had better technology.


In regards to the feedback we were given unfortunately, the font looking standard was due to the limited variety we had to choose from using the software available, we thought this font style with it's thin spindly design was best suited to create an errie, creepie atmosphere. We thought about putting our title into text language, however, thought it would not stand out as much or be so clear in it's meaning. There was also little we could to do about the quality of our camera shots as this was a result of are equipment and small budget. However, we understood this was a problem as when we came to film are darker, creepier shots, the camera lost it's resolution and the image became grainy. As a team we discussed the use of the car scene but felt it gave more of an insight into the characters building the equilibrium, making the climax more effective. Lastly, we looked at taking away all the sound and just leave the music. After muting all the audio we looked at the trailer and how it works, in some scenes it seemed to work, but we all agreed that it took away from the atmosphere to leave out the sound of running footsteps and to keep a sense of continuity we decided it was best to keep all the clips with their original sound as well as the soundtrack over the top.
