Audience Feedback

We asked a variety of people to watch our teaser trailer and give us their opinions on what worked well and what we could improve on. From our audience feedback, this is what the audience found effective: a good music choice; they thought the choppy shots worked well in creating tension and said it is a generic convention in a teaser trailer; the split screen was effective in showing juxtaposition between the two characters moods, one being happy and the other being sad; they also liked the interesting choice of location.

They also gave us feedback on what we could do to improve. They thought that adding titles would be a good idea in showing a clearer narrative. Therefore we added in three separate titles, which we felt would make it easier for an audience to understand the narrative with more ease, without giving too much of the plot line away. They also felt that I would be better to elongate the heartbeat sound effect over the ‘coming soon’ titles. We did this and felt that it made it more cohesive. Because we were using Apple Macs, our audience advised us to experiment more with the fonts and font transitions to make it look more professional. Therefore we spent more time trying out different fonts and font transitions to get a more suitable style for our genre and for a teaser trailer. From our feedback, the audience thought that we needed to add in institutional information to make it look as realistic and professional as possible. We did this and found that it met the expectations.
