Initial Footage & Feedback

Feedback:

The initial viewing of our trailer went really well and we got some amazing feedback which was both helpful and eye opening. Our whole class watched the footage and gave us the following points to improve on;

- The trailer needed more of a dramatic ending as the final montage didn't drive home the intended fear factor we wanted to create.
- The build up to the crescendo needs to happen at a faster pace because the speed of the trailer didn't really pick up pace as fast as it should have and didn't create as much tension.
- The action shots need to be bunched up a bit more as they were too spaced out and didn't combine as well as they could have done, they also didn't emphasise the terror and fear factor enough.
- The ending of the trailer needed to be much more of a "sucker punch" as it was not driving home the narrative of the trailer enough.

One thing that all the viewers liked was the soundtrack that we put into place, they thought it fitted well with the clips and the sudden change in music worked really well.

After receiving the feedback both of us are definitely going to act on what was said, we both realise what we now have to do. We will improve the ending by shooting more footage and editing the trailer itself. We will do this because we want our trailer to be the best that it can be and we can see what needs to be done.
