The student learned several things from obtaining audience feedback on their film trailer: - Gathering feedback from a wide range of groups, including friends, surveys, and in-person discussions, helped them choose the best film title and identify ways to improve the trailer, such as using faster-paced music. - Audio and in-person feedback in particular allowed them to observe reactions and get immediate feedback on how to enhance tension and introduce characters more clearly. - Feedback from classmates confirmed strengths like balanced shots but also exposed weaknesses to focus on improving for a stronger final product. - The experience demonstrated that outside perspectives can help identify issues not noticed yourself and make decisions to optimize the outcome.

1. Evaluation Q3
What have you learned from your
audience feedback?

2. • In our planning and production for our trailer,
we asked different types of groups for
feedback, even though our target audience
was aged 13-18. We wanted a range of
answers because other viewers may be
interest in our trailer/film. Most of our
feedback that we gained change our work in
significant amounts for example – choosing
our film title.

3. The range of Feedback used
• Facebook
• SurveyMonkey
• In person - audio recorded.
• Questionnaire

4. I used Facebook as a place to get my friends who are my
target audience age, to answer my survey to help
choose a title . Facebook was a good platform for my
group as we all have an account and was able to obtain
advice for our trailer and make it a semi-professional
product.

6. As a group we were indecisive when it came to
the name of our film. So we came up with ten
different title names and created a survey to
help us decide an appropriate film title. The
results showed that four out of the ten names
suited our film, according to the audience. From
creating this survey out of the four we were able
to decide easily what to name our film. Which is
called ‘My name is Cain’.

7. Audio / Face-to-Face feedback I think
was the most effective for us as a
group because we were able to watch
the reaction of our viewers and they
were able to give feedback straight
away on how to improve.
This is the feedback for our trailer –
the first draft. The main change that
our teacher's mentioned to us was the
use of sound to create tension and
also music. Our teachers suggested
that we used faster paced music so
that it flowed the with trailer and the
genre.
The information given to us was
incredibly important because our
characters introduced need a clearer
introduction for the audience to
understand who were important
characters. We tackled this task by
slowing down shots and adding more
close ups of the victims faces and
maybe sometimes medium shots. This
allows the audience to identify the
characters and understand their place
in the storyline.

8. We also gained feedback from our classmates

9. Gaining audience feedback form our classmates was useful as they told us what they
thought our trailer was strongest in and what was weak. They said that we had a balanced
mixture of shots and our planning shows through our work. We would each individually
come up with how we thought the scene could have been shot and by doing this we had a
wide choice on how to film and we went with the shot that looked best within the
sequence. From this feedback we were abled to identify what was weak in our trailer and
how we can improve it.

10. • From audience feedback, as a group we were
able to identify weaknesses within our trailer
that were not easily identifiable to us and
improve to make a stronger semi-professional
product.
• Audience feedback has taught me that
seconds opinions can help make better
decisions and help adjust your work to create
the best outcome.
