Research and Planning: Teaser Trailer Audience Feedback

Our teaser trailer "Avenge" has got a balanced out positive and negative feedback from the audience. We have got three 8, one 7, one 6 and one 9 rating for our teaser trailer. In addition to these audience feedback's I will put in my own thoughts and suggestions for changes.

Pretty much everyone had almost a clear understanding of the storyline. We have got very good sound, quality, cinematography and mise-en-scene comments. Locations were seen as clear quality and mise-en-scene of facial appearance turned out to be great. Couple of people have said the sounds including the music fit in well and build up the atmosphere of the horror theme and brings panic to the audiences reaction.

The least appealing comment we have got was the editing being quite rough on the recorded parts where Becky's voice was cut off and I definitely think that should be amended. The bit of the trees might look too hand held but to be honest I'm not sure if there was a reason for it, I will discuss it with my group whether that shot should really be part of it or not. Laura did put in quick shots of of some of the filming to add suspense to the audiences reaction but we still have some one pointing out we do need quick shots so maybe we could make it quicker. I did film in high angle of Becky and Laura running away from the camera to show male power but it had been recorded over so unfortunately we couldn't have no high angle shots in our teaser trailer. The scream in the toilet to be cut out has been pointed out by someone without a reason so we might not take it out but make changes instead. The last change we can make as one person suggested is the title as it gives a connotation that someone apart from Brendon is doing the killing. Another small suggested change someone would like to hear is the diegetic sounds of the cars to be non-diegetic.

Overall the audience seem to have found our teaser trailer to be really good and I'm surprised to know that no one has mentioned the length of it. It's about 2 minutes but am sure with the help of Laura we can manage to make it just about a minute long.
