Evaluation: Audience Response

Overall I am very please with the response we got from the audience when we did a question and answer activity and filmed it in class. Below are some of the comments we received...

Editing: Wide range of shots
Smooth transitions between shots
Titles: Attract attention
Makes the trailer more exciting
Begins to explain the narrative
What questions have been left unanswered? Don't no much about the characters and the cliffhanger at the end leaves you wondering what the main character has done wrong.
Mise en scene: Good use of locations
Good variation of settings
What could be done better? Wasn't a teaser trailer because it went on for too long, a different pace would have made it better.

The last comment is what is most important in our audience response because it is the one bit of criticism we received from it. We agree that this is one of weaknesses in our trailer, we believe we probably got slightly carried away with the shots and narrative and could of spent more time thinking up ways to shorten the trailer and possibly make the main character more mysterious and played with audiences thoughts and views on what was going on in the trailer. This is what we would do if we were to repeat this project but due to time restrictions we were too late to change it. Although we are happy we got more compliments and positive feedback on our trailer and are still happy with the content of our trailer rather than the time length of it.
