Class Feedback

After our final editing of our trailer we presented our trailer on a large screen in front of our media class, consisting of people aged between 17 and 19. This is effective feedback as these people are in our target audience and we are catering for their needs.

The class presented us with negative and positive comments about the trailer and helped us to see our trailer from another point of view. Here are the positive reflections we recieved from the class:

• Good use of colour and contrast in the flashing images
• Good length for a teaser trailer
• Engaging for the audience
• Presents a plot, but also leaves enough mystery that the audience want to see it
• Emotive as it provoked empathy, fear and sadness
• Instant awareness of the genre
• Good logo
• Music helps to create an emotive atmosphere and fits the genre
• Good and appropriate use of audio including the phone call and one section of filming with audio

Here are the constructive comments we recieved from the class:

• The phone call could have two rings instead of three as the screen is black for a long time
• The green flashes could be extended to show the audience that it is the main character
• The title could be extended slightly

This feedback will help us in our final editing and to meet our target audiences needs. It also helps us to see our trailer from a consumers point of view instead of the creators.
