Audience Feedback Results

Before we transported our production onto the Mac for further editing, we presented our First Cut to many of our peers (media students and also those whose media knowledge is not as advanced as our own), as well as many staff from our sixth form, and family members. This meant that we were covering a wide range of audiences.

We told them to analyse our production closely and tell us what was effective and what was not so effective about it. We could them take these suggestions and improve our teaser trailer, based on what our audience wanted.

Here are several of the issues found within our teaser trailers' First Cut by our Audience Feedback:

• Continuity issues - There is an image of the empty swing, then later we go back to the swing with the girl present.
• Black screen issues - At one point you can roughly see someones outline on a supposedly blank screen.
• Pacing issues - There are a few issues with the increasing pace of the trailer, and it could become slightly faster towards the end for added enigma.
• Titles & Text issues - Our First Cut currently has no titles or added text.
• Institution issues - The institutional logos appear brighter than may be suitable considering the genre and tone of our teaser trailer.
• Currently too short, even for a teaser trailer.

After considering all of these constructive criticisms we will begin work on our final production. We will then post updates of the changes that we have made due to this feedback from our audiences so that our progress can be seen clearly.
