Here is a URL link to our final teaser trailer.
After placing our trailer on the internet we decided to gain further feedback and asked our teachers for their criticisms. They were generally pleased with the trailers outcome but provided some feedback. Here are their criticisms and the improvements we made based on their criticisms.
1. They felt that the initial flashing images of the beaten girl were too short and could be slightly longer but we felt these shot where unnecessary and limited the effect of the flashing images later so we decided to remove these and replace them with establishing shots of the setting.
2. They felt that the pan in the middle of the trailer to the man in the door way was ammature and suggested we either re-shot or worked with this clip. We decided to apply a ghosting effect to make it appear more professional, which disguised the jolt in the middle of it.
3. They suggested a possible change of music, but we had previously experimented with this and it was unsuccessful.
4. They felt that the narrative wasn't clear and suggested using establishing shots. We decided to take photographs of the house (the setting of the trailer) from the perspective of Bowe, the antagonist of our film. We gradually built up the pace of these shots through the beginning of the trailer to add tension. This makes the audience aware that it is set in a domestic setting, this is important as we discovered with in our research that our audience preferred a storyline set in a domestic setting. By including these establishing shots it also gives meaning to the last shots as it explains that someone has entered the house and that is who is at the doorway.
