Evaluation: What have you learnt from your audience feedback?

From our audience feedback, we can see that overall the trailer is a success. We have little bits to add, and it turns out the audience were quick to comment on these! But after reassurance of what we are going to do (such as music for the montage) they were happy and able to see what the final outcome would be. We purposely didn't want to finish the WHOLE trailer before the audience saw it, this was because what if they had something really important and helpful to say? We wanted to be able to change it to suite them! After all, it is the audience that will make a film a success.

Here is what the first person in our feedback thought we did well...
* Music at the beginning
* The voice over works particularly well and is good at telling the story in a different way.
* All the scenes in the darkness at the end of the trailer makes it have a creepy feel to the end of it and is a good way of creating suspense!
Here is what the first person thought we could improve on...
* Having a quicker paste montage
* Having a shot to show Charlotte looking at Summer and her boyfriend Sam, which
clearly demonstrates her jealousy and envy of Summer and that she is attracted to him.
* Having a shorter scene of Summer crying, this is to make sure you aren't giving away too much
and thinking its too long.
* Some clips being a bit shorter in length, some are a bit lengthy and unconventional of a trailer.

Here is what the second person in our feedback thought we did well...
* The montage, she says it is really effective and will be even more effective with the music over the top of it.
* The overall storyline is effective and appeals to her.
* She feels that a lot of people would want to watch it and enjoy it.

Here is what the second person thought we could improve on...
* By adding more transitions in it, such as titles like 'Who produced it', 'Who stars in it'
and 'Who directed it'
She says this will help make it more conventional.
* Adding music to the shots in the montage, she says it doesn't fit when its just being quiet and will defiantly would need some dramatic music.
