Research and Planning: Audience Feedback For Rough Cut Trailer

After showing the class our rough cut trailer we have received feedback on parts of the trailer they liked and parts they thought we could improve on. This is very important as feedback shows us the parts that we are doing which are successful in entertaining them and parts that they didn't like and wouldn't like to watch. The majority of the feedback is positive in terms of the mise en scene selection and the location which is my area of work. The areas we could develop on are wonky shots which are due to the cinematography manager Alice, we can improve this by re filming certain parts of he trailer and making sure that the tripod is straight. It was also commented on that the scenes were speed up too much which made it look less effective so our editing manager Bethan will have to take the original footage and edit it again so that the sequence isn't too fast as we want an eerie and scary effect. A major problem people highlighted was the sound issue however at the moment we have not focused on sound, the priority is the filming and then when we edit we can figure out what we can do with the sound. In the rough cut we did not work on any sound as we have decided that we may use a character voice over like the one in the trailer for The Lovely Bones. The current rough cut trailer does not make as much sense in terms of plot however there are four more locations that need filming in order for it to be scary and build more suspense. Therefore I now know the areas we need to work on as a group to make our trailer successful and we need to look more into sound as that was the main concern for the audience.
