Audience Feedback Changes
After looking at the main issues highlighted in our audience feedback, we began editing our production further to help it reach its potential as a teaser trailer.
The first issue that we dealt with was one of continuity. We made sure that the clip of Chloe on the swing did not appear after the one of the empty swing as it had before. This was fairly easy to change.
Next we had to deal with the issue of a rough outline being visible on a black screen. When we transported our trailer to the Mac, we did actually remove all of the black screens and replace them with title screens that we could adapt. This then solved the issue of the persons outline and made it look much more professional.
After we had added in the titles at the length that we wanted, we could then add in the text and graphics/animation that we wanted on them. This solved the problem of having little information in our teaser trailer. This also extended the length of our trailer, and we also added in some extra footage that we had not used to meet the conventions of a trailer (length-wise).
Once we had the full lenght of our trailer in place, we could then sort out any pacing and audio problems that we had found. We made the trailers pace gradually increase to create more enigma, and matched the audio more precisely to the action.
Lastly, we considered that our institutions may be too bright. We managed to put an effect over them to 'Cartoonise' them further. This actually blurred them slightly and made them seem less bright and happy than previously, which was much more effective.
We feel that we have considered all of our audience feedback and made the appropriate changes, along with several others, to make our teaser trailer meet the necessary conventions and be as effective as possible.

You have really taken note of all of the responses that you successfully canvassed and thus improved your final production considerably. Well done.
