To gain a greater understandment of our group horror trailer we gathered feedback from our class after watching our first version of our horror trailer. As we had technical difficulties when editing the trailer didn't quite have as greater impact as we would have hoped. we used our class to give us audience feedback as they were in the age range, 15+, in which we set our trailer. From our feedback we got a lot of likes and dislikes. This is important as it gives us different opinions of what we could improve on.
In our results some people said they liked the opening scenes as they had a slow build up. They also liked the opening scenes as there was a lot of different effects to help the trailer look more scary. Some of the effects we used were clipping the shot up and adding a filter to it surface so it create a more of a creepy feel. Although some people thought that the effects were repetitive and some were used too often. These opening scenes also had a good review on the camera work. This is important as the camera needs to have interesting angles/shots to help the trailer have more of a horror feel to it. They also liked the scene where the girl was pulled down the stairs by the killer. But I feel myself that it could have had more of an impact to it. The last point in our positive audience feedback was that they liked the scene where the person holding the camera was getting stabbed and the camera dropped to the floor signifying a death. On the other hand some people didn't like the amount of stabs that the killer was producing as they thought it 'dragged' on. Even thought we had inter titles some of our audience said that they didn't quite understand the narrative and it was unclear what went on with the killer. Another critic said they would have liked to hear more voice overs to help understand it a bit more. Many of the audience feedback's said that the music didn't quite flow well with the trailer and what was happening in the shots. They said it ' didn't build up enough tension'. Others said it ' was too loud could hear voice overs' and the music change 'had a bit of an awkward pause'.
This is a badly presented answer. I cannot read it very easily because of the colour of the font and it contains no images all links or other elements to make it work on multiple channels of communication. It is therefore inappropriate for a blog. Can you think about how you can improve the presentation of your answer?
