What have you learnt from audience feedback?

The things that I have learned from the audience feedback, is peoples views and response to my main product, both as a teaser trailer and as a horror text. Though well liked and thought the product is a fairly well done, it was thought by many that miner adjustments were still need. Small things such as the last scene that maid the teaser product appear very week and flat, the fact that identifying with the characters was not optional and absence of dialogue that was felt did not allow the trailer to be all that it could have been. The responses to the rules of convention of a real media product, was reviewed to have developed, according to the feedback, the product had the right structure, build, timing and refrained from reveal to much and just enough to capture and hold the attention of the audience or horror fanatics that await to have a glimpse of the possible "final girl". Also the arrangement of the camera gave way to some interesting shots that played a hand in indicating abnormality and disturbance one expect to witness in trailer with a horror Genre with angled shots and shot size to indicate and identifier the dominate characters.



Along with Mise-en-scene and it's good use, the set, props, costumes and lighting and basically its content, for example the use of motivated light was thought to have worked beautifully- from within creating soft creepy dark shadows that emphasised the blood and horror in the scene, most especially during those black and white scenes at the start of the teaser that allowed the best compasstion of both visual and sound mixed with binary oppositions that allows one thing to become the other. However, thought the Narrative set up was thought to be, perfectly clear and precise, dramatic structures, broken subtitles and a website at the end of the trailer was definitely thought to have been a good and necessary step.

  1. This is a good but rather short account. What did/would you change as a result of target audience feedback? Can you include a few stills of the specific bits you are talking about?
