Response to Audience Feedback

We received some highly positive feedback from the audience after our first screening of the trailer. They (the audience) thought we had really effective range of shot types, in particular the underwater shots, which we wanted to stand out as an eye-catching and unusual factor of our trailer. Another aspect of the trailer which people enjoyed was the fast pace of the trailer. We are pleased with this feedback because we spent a lot of time ensuring we had a wide range of action shots to build up the pace of the trailer; so that when it came to editing we could use the action along with sound effects to build suspense and tension; therefore, we are glad this aspect has paid off. As well as positive comments we also received very helpful constructive criticism. For example, it was suggested to us to try shorten the equilibrium section of the trailer; this was helpful to us because once we, analysed that section we realised that actually some of the shots could be shortened whilst still making sense and giving the effect- in terms of helping establishing the storyline- we wanted to achieve. Another comment made which was helpful to us was to add institutional data, such as titles and the date of release. Of course we realise that this is necessary to our trailer, we just haven't yet decided on the font and effects we wanted for these that would fit with the theme of our trailer- this is what we are going to focus on next as I think it will help to make our trailer complete. Another factor which will help us finalise the trailer is adding more sound effects; we feel that in order to add more powerful impact to our trailer we want to find strong, horror themed sound effects; for example a shocking and frightening sound for jump scare.
