This document summarizes feedback from 4 groups on a rough cut teaser trailer. Each group provided feedback through a table rating different elements and written comments. Overall, the groups felt the teaser conveyed the trailer was about dance but could more clearly show it was also a thriller. They praised shots like the pull focus and building tension but noted the story needed clarification. Sound received mixed reviews and all agreed titles and identifiers were needed. The feedback highlighted areas to improve like editing, varied shots and clarifying the wide mirror shot.

1. Rough Copy Feedback
By Chloe Chorlton

2. GROUP 035
• The group answered yes and no to
knowing our USP and that all our
teaser conventions had been met. As
this is our rough copy, we knew that not
all the conventions had been met which
is an improvement point that they have
made saying ‘sound and titles’.
• The table shows mixed views on our
product as they have given us excellent
for our use of mise-en-scene but good
and ok reviews on our camera work and
editing. This however shows that we
need to improve our editing skills and
the trailer further.
• We already knew that our sound was
not finished as we were working on it at
the time so ticking the poor box does
reflect our sound at that moment in
time.

3. GROUP 031
• This group knew that this was a teaser
trailer straight away by their feedback
saying that the length of it showed the
correct conventions. This is good to see
as we did not want to alter the length of
the trailer.
• The table shows a lot of positive
feedback towards our product as all the
boxes have been ticked good, except for
one which could be either good or ok.
They also gave many detailed positive
points like the pull focus shot, pace of
the trailer and our mirror editing.
• Unlike the other groups, they did not
compare the sound as much as they
knew it wasn’t finished but liked what
we had already. Instead they gave us
feedback about our shots that could be
more varied and also about how our last
shot should just be the characters eyes.
These are good criticism points that we
took on board.

4. GROUP 032
• The USP is mentioned by this group
that it is very obvious what we are
trying to achieve. As our USP is dance,
we have tried as much to display this
but not make the whole trailer based
solely around this factor.
• The table reviews again show mixed
views as it is 50/50 good and ok. One of
the ok ticks was about sound but we
knew this would be a reoccurring low
point as it is not finished, which they
have mentioned with an arrow next to
the boxes. Again we had lots of positive
feedback but this groups constructive
feedback was one of the better ones.
The said that some of our shots were
too long and that the story line needed
to be clearer. These are points that we
could change and were very helpful.
They also mentioned that we needed
idents and titles which again we knew
but it was good to be told.

5. GROUP 036
• The USP was also very clear to this
group as they noted that they
understood that it was a dance film but
again also that it was a thriller that none
of the other groups noticed. As they
were the only ones that noticed, we took
that on board as a factor that needs to
become clearer.
• This group missed out mise-en-scene
but we would thing that this would be
good as that understood that our USP
was dance. They like the other groups
said that our piece was good/ok with
sound needing work on. This group gave
a lot of strengths and weaknesses such
as good lighting with the silhouette
shots and building tension. They also
told us what needed to be done such as
idents, sounds and titles. One point that
was made that we felt needed to be
addressed was the fact that the mirror
shot with 2 different reflections needed
to be clearer as the shot was so wide, it
was not as clear.

6. CONCLUSION
• All groups gave a lot of good feedback that made
us feel confident without product so far but they
also gave us a lot of constructive criticism that is
easily changeable and will make our teaser
trailer a much better and professional product.
