What have you learned from your audience feedback?

The audience feedback that we collected in were all generally pointing out the same flaws in our trailer and they were that at some points the sound didn’t fit the shot and that none of the trailer really made much sense.

When we made the trailer we tried to make the storyline fairly hard to understand but because it was nearly everybody that gave us feedback on this we most likely made it too hard for people to understand. The original idea of this was to make quite an obscure trailer showing almost a different story in each shot which we hoped would get the audience interested and want to know how all of these things are pieced together but if no one can really understand anything that’s going on then no one will want to see it.

With the sound when our group attempted this we tried to keep with the same obscure theme of putting strange sound into our trailer. Everyone said that the sound was good until one part where there was a babies laugh and when we watched it back in front of everyone we all agreed that it didn't really fit the shot that we put it on or maybe even the whole trailer.

If I could do this again I would definitely try to have a more solid story line one that is easily understandable but doesn't give a way too much. I wouldn't really change the sound I think if I was to do this again I  believe that I would just need to put a little bit more of my time in to finding what shots suit the sound effects.

I think that the sound is something that we will need to work on, maybe try out software like garage band and try to find more suiting sound clips to fit our trailer. I think that long droning sounds work well in horror trailers  and that is why they are used in most horror trailers because they create suspense up until the montage of the trailer which is where the musics tempo is changed (normally made faster) until it reaches the end where it tends to fade out . 

however there were a few pieces of positive feedback that we got from our audience. Most of it had to do with the locations that we filmed in and the cinematography of our trailer and i agree with them. i believe that we did take some time deciding what shots to use and where what locations to film them in which we have shown on our shot list. I believe that it is important to get the right shot because it tells people whats  happening without any words being spoken, like our running shots you can tell someone is running away from the killer because the shot when its moving looks like someone is running with it and the previous shot showed the killer.
