2. RESEARCH OUTCOMES
• After completing our trailer we got some people, of the age of out target audience,
to come in and review it by answering 11 questions. We left every question as an
open question so that we could get an idea of how the people really felt about the
trailer. All together we asked 9 people however for some of the questions we will
have more than 9 answers because some people gave more than one answer.
• The next few slides will show what type of answers we got.
3. WHAT DID YOU LIKE ABOUT THE
TRAILER?
• This question allowed us to see what the main
was that drew the attention of our trailer to
the target audience the most. The most
common answer was how realistic it was and
the sound effects and locations. I Think most
people saw it as realistic because we recorded
it in an area that everyone was very familiar
with, which was in our school, the road that
our school is on and the pub that is at the
bottom of our school road. So people were
able to relate to it more.

4. DID YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT WAS
HAPPENING?
• Everyone apart from one person understood
what was happening, the other person said just
about, so they understood a little bit of what
was happening but not to the full extent.

good that we only got good reviews
from our target audience.

8. WHAT WAS YOUR FAVOURITE PART
OF THE TRAILER?
• Most people’s favourite part of the trailer
was when the killer was standing behind
everyone at the bus stop and then a van
drivers by and the killer disappeared. As
a group this is all of our favourite part as
this part leave you wondering ‘where has
he gone?’, ‘what is going to happening
next?’
• Our trailer didn’t have much jump scares
, however this part kind of worked as a
jump scare because it catches you
attention straight away and leaves you
wondering.

11. ARE YOU ABLE TO IDENTIFY WHO
THE CHARACTERS ARE?
• Everyone apart from one person said
sort of. After posting our trailer on
social media we got a comment back
saying that people were confused
between the killer and the promiscuous
boy because at one stage they are seen
with the same jacket one. For example
at the beginning the killer is seen
walking into the 6form with a grey
jacket on, and at the pub the
promiscuous boy is seen with a similar
jacket on and this confused people.

12. DOES THE TRAILER FOLLOW CODES
AND CONVENTIONS?
• Everyone said the trailer did follow code and
conventions and they said this was because
we set the scenes in realistic locations and
the non-diegetic music went well with what
was going on in the trailer and the music
also allowed them to relate with what was
going on in the trailer.0

3.5 For most people the trailer made them
feel very interested in what going to
happen next. This is a good thing
because once you want to know what is
going to happen next, it makes you
want to go and watch the movie. The
other comments were also good
feedback because things like ‘thrilled’,
‘scared’ and ‘creeped out’ are how
people are suppose to feel are watching
a horror.
