2. Question Two - Summary
From my questionnaire the results for question two explains that the people who answered this questions
like the way that I have edited my trailer. It is good to see that we received good comments about the wipes
that we introduced. We looked at many other comedy trailers and decided to use wipes because it is a good
way of improving the transition between shots. I think that shot-reverse shots work really well in comedy
trailer because it keeps the trailer at a high tempo. We needed to have the garden scene at a very high tempo
because of when ‘Meg’ hits ‘Will’ with the golf ball.
3. Question Three - Summary
From the results of question three of my questionnaire I have found out that due to the planning of the
props, settings and costumes we conducted the mise-en-scene very well. We received some positive and
negative points. The negative points also came with feedback which we are able to build from. Only
limited resources were available to use but at the end of production we agreed that we could have used
more settings throughout the production. As we are aged seventeen and eighteen we have a good
understanding of clothing worn by young adults, we used this knowledge when deciding what costumes
the characters would wear.
4. Question 5 - Summary
The music is a key factor for a successful trailer. Whilst choosing conventional music that would suit our
trailer we ensured that the music that would be in the trailer was copyright free. We conducted many
preliminary tests to see which piece of music suited the trailer best. As our the tempo for our trailer is
fairly high, the tempo of the music needed to be equally as high, otherwise the music would seem out of
place and make our trailer unconventional.
5. Summary Eight - Summary
Conventional camerawork is essential for a good trailer. The feedback about our general camerawork was
good but we need negative points to build on. We received ratings out of ten for the camerawork between
seven and nine which we are very proud of, however we agreed, and our feedback supports this, that we
could have used a wider variety of shots throughout the trailer.
6. Question Ten - Summary
I think that it is important to receive
feedback to be able to work on it, but we
needed an overall rating of our film, and
whether that person would watch it. From
the results I can work out that the average
rating was 7.25 and I am pleased to see that
everyone would watch it.
7. Ancillary Feedback
From the feedback on my ancillary products for my trailer I can conclude that the
layout, shots and colour schemes worked well for my target audience. The main positive
points were that the colour scheme is consistent and conventional for all of the products and
the font stand out really well and grab attention. The main negative points were that there is
maybe too much space above the characters on the magazine and that there could be more
images on the magazine. If I was to produce these products again, I would add more images
to the magazine and produce better images with a wider variety of shots
8. Summarisation of Findings
I can conclude from the results of my trailer feedback questionnaire that certain areas
went well and others not as well. Our use of editing, with wipes, on-screen text and
shot-reverse shots worked well and ensured our trailer was editing conventionally.
We used conventional camerawork but could have improved more on the variety of
the shots used. Our use of music was kept up-to-beat with our trailer to ensure that it
was used conventionally and that it suited our trailer where it had been used. Our
use of settings could have been improved with the use of more different settings but
the props used and costumes worn proved useful throughout the trailer.
From the feedback on my ancillary products I found out that the consistent colour
scheme throughout all of the products work really well with each other, the layout is
put together very well in order for the most important parts of the poster and
magazine to grab the most attention from the viewers.
