Evaluation Question 3 - What have you learned from your audience feedback? - Trailer

For my trailer, I decided to film the class having discussion about my film, talking about what they liked, what they didn't like, what could be improved and so on. I felt this would be better than getting Facebook comments and would be much more reliable in terms of getting responses.


I decided to ask my mother and a couple of people from my class so that I could get a varied response from people who are different ages. My mother thought the trailer was well shot, the use of shots were effective, it told the story well, the titles were effective and that the music was appropriate and added that little bit of drama.

For improvements, she thought that the titles could have been made slightly longer, but apart from that she thought it was well done.

Fellow students thought that it was really good, and had similar opinions to the previous video. They thought that the use of sound was effective and that it fit really well with the genre of the trailer, they also thought that the slow motion at the beginning was effective and the shots that set the scenes were also well done. 

Improvements were that some of the clips be shortened down but apart from that, they were happy with the trailer. 

Other feedback was that I could have used a tripod for some of the shots as some were a little shaky, but the music was good and the slow motion effects were good,  and that the editing was good. 

From this, I have found that most liked my trailer. Additional feedback was that is was effective and that not much needed to be tweaked. Most liked the use of music, the shots used, and the titles and effects. Overall, it was mainly positive comments. I have made some adjustments based on some of the feedback I was given. I have made the titles slightly longer and I have shorted some clips down so that it shows the action only, and not random parts of the trailer.
