To gather some audience feedback I asked my media studies class to give their responses on what they liked about my film trailer and what improvements they would suggest. The responses I got were that they really enjoyed my choices, the variety of shots I used and the filters/effects used on some of the shots (the reduced greyscale effect). The improvements they suggested were that the dialogue volume was too quiet and at some points to difficult to hear because of the music therefore the music volume needed to be decreased. Other suggestions were that I didn't need to use four pieces of music soundtrack and I could've made the death more evident.
What I have learnt from this feedback is that if I was to carry this task out again I would use higher quality technology as the dialogue was not clear enough to an audience and it had an overall effect on my trailer as some parts of the plot were unclear.
I also learnt from my audience feedback that the plot wasn't very clear in other scenes (the gun shot scene). As an improvement I would ask more people to take part in appearing in my trailer, that way it would of been more clear to an audience that a death had taken place due to a cross fire.
Even though my audience feedback consists on using less music soundtracks I still really enjoyed my combination of the four pieces of music, however I would agree that I could of stuck with three.
Overall I learnt that my film trailer appeals to also the female audience -
Above is a printscreen taken from some feedback after I posted my trailer onto Facebook.
"Can't wait to see the whole film Marnie" was actually quoted from a woman 40+, which is the complete opposite to my target audience, therefore I learnt that both men and women may wish to see the final film and also people over the age of 28.
To come to conclusion from the feedback I gathered, if I had to opportunity to do this project again I would:
- Use HD quality technology
- Insert voiceovers so that dialogue is clearer
- And to include more characters so that the plot was more understandable to an audience
