Today, we showed our trailer on the large screen in our class. We made a short questionnaire to collect our feedback.
The questionnaire was answered by 11 people in total.
100% said that they would watch the film.
All 11 knew that the genre was horror. We asked them why, here were our results:
11/11 thought that the plot was clear from the film and 4 also said that it did not give too much away which can ruin a trailer.
The people we questioned remembered a lot from the trailer. The things that came up the most were the location; the running shots; the music; and the title.
We also asked how we could improve our trailer.
Some of the feedback we recieved included:
1. Use of shadows to show the 'bad guy'.
2. Making the lighting darker.
3. Having people with the protagonist at the beginning.
The reason we have chosen not to change these things is because:
1. We cannot add shadows in post-production and we do not have time to re-shoot our trailer.
2. We could not film any later because you would not have been able to see much and it is difficult to change the lighting drastically after filming.
3. We were unable to find a group of people to film (as we have explained in another post).
Some other comments we received were:
"[The trailer] grabs the audience's attention."
"It doesn't give anything away, making the watching more intense."
"I like that you don't know who is 'caging' her."
"It looks professional."
"I want to find out what happens in the film."
From the feedback, we can see that we have made a successful horror movie trailer and we are happy with our final work.
