Trailer - first draft




Above is my first draft of my trailer. I showed this version of my trailer to the class members that were part of my target audience. Below is the feedback that they gave:


This feedback helped me massively as, although there were issues present that I was aware of, having more viewing opinions highlighted problems that I had not considered myself. When gaining this feedback, I realized that the two most highlighted areas were the problems with sound issues, and the fact that my trailer somewhat resembled more of a short film due to too much of the plot being hinted, and giving too much away. I was well aware that there were sound issues due reoccurring problems I kept enduring on Premier Pro and when indeed filming, yet having more opinions confirmed that these sound issues were something that needed work improving. In terms of my trailer resembling a short film and steering away from the trailer form, this is a problem that I had not yet considered, yet looking back on my first draft, is a viable point and needed to be amended. Other than these improvements, my class responded in a positive way and confidently gave me positive feedback. This confirmed that I had constructed a trailer appropriate for my target audience.
When it came to amendments, from this feedback I intend to:
  • Replace title slides that give too much away with a Daily Mail review
  • Not make it clear that only one is left (giving away plot)
  • Add faster clips present for a shorter period of time to create fast paced trailer action
  • Amend sound issues
