In this PowerPoint Presentation for our A2 Media Studies Coursework, we will be answering the question of what we learnt from the feedback given to us from the audiences and what actions we took to make good on those suggestions
The document discusses a media evaluation of a documentary project and its accompanying radio trailer and magazine article.
The documentary focused on childcare costs and used an expository mode with a voiceover narrative. Feedback on the documentary was gathered through questionnaires at nurseries.
The radio trailer effectively promoted the documentary by using quotes and footage from it. It targeted parents aged 24-36 on Heart FM, a popular station that reaches key cities.
The magazine article in Radio Times also targeted parents and had a simple, factual style. Its wide circulation was expected to reach the target audience.
Overall, the documentary, radio trailer, and magazine article were effective at promoting each other by sharing content, targeting similar audiences, and
The document describes a student's work on creating different media pieces for a documentary on bullying. They were tasked with making the opening 5 minutes, a 30-45 second radio trailer, and a double page magazine spread. To create the documentary, the student researched conventions like interviews, narration, and reconstructions. They applied similar techniques to the radio trailer and magazine spread. The document provides examples of shots and editing in the documentary and discusses following conventions to make the pieces successful.
Catfish, Too Poor for Posh School and MBFRGWasmediaf12
The document analyzes three documentaries to find techniques that could be useful for its own documentary about social networks. It summarizes that Catfish uses a globe opening to symbolize social networking globally and extreme close-ups of screens to show its focus on technology. Too Poor for Posh School uses music to set the tone and clever shots to engage audiences. My Big Fat Royal Gypsy Wedding uses fast-paced edits in its opening to quickly introduce the topic and a title sequence to excite viewers.
Our documentary fits into the expository mode of documentaries as it uses a voiceover and visual aids to present arguments and facts. It also features elements of the reflexive and poetic modes. We studied techniques used in documentaries like Supersize Me such as camera shots, sound, background music, and facts/figures to develop our documentary. Our double page magazine spread and radio trailer employ conventions of those real media formats to advertise our documentary, like layouts, drop caps, and appealing music.
Jamie Dowds learned about using audience feedback through various research methods. Conducting surveys and testing rough cuts of trailers and posters helped gather opinions to improve the works. Feedback on the teaser trailer suggested improving audio, clipping, and ending. Comments on the poster led to enlarging text. Final feedback on products was overall positive, though the magazine cover's darkness made the image hard to see. Audience feedback provided valuable insights to strengthen the projects.
The document discusses a student's television documentary project on binge drinking among young people.
The student researched documentary conventions by watching many examples. The opening 5 minutes of their documentary uses an expositional style with narrative, voiceover, and facts/statistics to set the tone and guide viewers.
Interviews and sound are used conventionally, with professional lighting and positioning. Some conventions like reconstructions are avoided as unnecessary. Overall the documentary effectively uses many real documentary codes and conventions while challenging a few that do not fit its topic or audience.
The document analyzes the media product's use of documentary conventions. It discusses how the product studied documentaries like "Supersize Me" to understand conventions around camera shots, sound, interviews, facts and statistics. It aimed to use conventions like these while also developing some, such as opening with a montage and using clips from shows. Some conventions were purposefully not used, such as reconstructions, as they did not fit the topic. Overall the document evaluates how the media product successfully utilized many documentary conventions to create an engaging and informative piece.

This document discusses the evaluation of a short film production project. It covers research, planning, production, peer feedback, and areas for improvement. Some key points:
- Primary research for determining the target audience had some unhelpful responses, while secondary research on similar genres was more useful.
- Planning went smoothly overall but didn't account for last-minute story changes that could have improved the film.
- Peer feedback noted issues with the music timing and sound effects quality, while praising the exposure and concept.
- The producer agrees the music timing was off but feels some effects were appropriate, and would focus more time on each stage of the project given more time.
What is the difference between a teaser trailerBeccihammond
Teaser trailers are short previews released months before a film to generate anticipation, revealing brief snippets without much plot. Theatrical trailers are full-length previews released closer to the film, running 2-5 minutes and providing more details about the story and exact release date. Teaser trailers are under 2 minutes and focus on exploiting famous actors/directors to attract interest without fully explaining the narrative, whereas theatrical trailers are longer and more heavily edited to convey the plot.
The document discusses research and experiments conducted for a film production project. Primary research included a survey that found most people prefer action and comedy films and watch them on Netflix or YouTube. Secondary research examined viewing figures and demographics for the films "Hot Fuzz" and "Ted" and found that both appealed most to those under 18. Given this research, the target audience for the project was defined as 15-24 year olds. Experiments with filming techniques provided lessons on shot types and editing that will inform the final production. Potential constraints of time, personnel, cost, technical issues, locations, and organization were also considered.
The document discusses research and experiments conducted for a short film project. The research found that action and comedy are the most popular film genres among the target 12-39 age demographic. The experiments tested different camera shots, sound recording techniques, and editing approaches. Key lessons included planning shots, recording original sound effects, and using royalty-free assets when needed. Potential challenges for the short film include a tight filming schedule, equipment issues, availability of the actor and location, and budget constraints.
The document discusses how the filmmaker addressed and attracted their target audience through various methods of gathering feedback during the filmmaking process. Feedback was gathered from the target audience on Facebook and through Q&A sessions, which resulted in changes like re-recording dialogue to remove background noise, shortening a scene, and adding transitions. Additional feedback was gathered from peers and professionals on Twitter and in Skype calls, addressing things like the credits, sound design, and ensuring the genre was thriller. This iterative process of feedback helped strengthen the final film.
The document analyzes documentary film conventions that the author observed in films like "Super Size Me" and "My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding" and how those conventions were applied to their own documentary. It discusses choices made regarding camera work, interviews, editing, graphics, music, research, and a radio trailer. The author aimed to follow typical conventions like using different shot types, title screens, narration, statistics, and voice clips while also attempting some unconventional techniques to engage their target audience.
The student evaluated their media project which was a thriller film opening. They analyzed how their opening used conventions from films like Firewall, Face Off, and Phone Booth. Their opening represented social groups through its mainly male cast and portrayal of a black teenage boy being shot. As an independent low-budget film, it would likely be distributed online or by a small distributor. They aimed it at their surveyed target audience of 17 year old males and kept them engaged through suspense and unanswered questions. In creating the project, they learned editing and camera skills using Adobe Premier and Canon cameras.
The research showed that the target audience for a thriller film trailer would be older males aged 55+, as they most interested in both thriller and action genres. Primary research through surveys and interviews supported that this demographic enjoys films with suspenseful build up, intense music, and quick cuts during climactic moments. The subject research on real stalkers provided insights into behaviors and mannerisms that could help develop a compelling villain character.
In what ways does your media product usecassierattray
This document discusses how the media products created by the group, including a documentary, radio advert, and poster, conform to the conventions of real media products in these genres. It explains that for each product, the group researched the codes and conventions of Channel 4 documentaries, radio adverts, and posters to guide their designs. Specific conventions discussed include placing title/text, logos, interview framing, cutaways, graphics, mise-en-scene, voiceover tone, and clip transitions. The goal was to create professional-looking products that will be realistic and attract audiences.
A teaser trailer aims to reveal as little as possible about the plot, showing brief glimpses of characters or scenes to generate interest in an upcoming film without fully explaining the story. A full trailer provides more substantial insights into the plot and twists, featuring footage and music from the actual film over a longer duration of 2-4 minutes to advertise to a wider audience. The goal of a teaser is to intrigue viewers and create anticipation, while a full trailer aims to attract more people to watch the film by revealing more details of what will happen.
The document discusses various techniques used in creating a documentary on chocolate, including:
- Using B-roll and A-roll footage to break up interviews and add depth. More B-roll was recorded to provide options.
- Implementing smooth cross-dissolve transitions between scenes to follow professional conventions.
- Framing interview shots using the rule of thirds for effective communication and balance.
- Ensuring the background or mise-en-scene is relevant to the documentary's theme of chocolate.
- Adding a chocolate-themed sound bed and stop motion title sequence to engage audiences in non-conventional ways.
The document summarizes research conducted for a film project. It analyzes the target audiences of two similar films, Project Almanac and Chronicle, finding that both appeal most to teenage males. Most viewers prefer action/adventure genres without cliffhangers. Research also showed that the target audience for this film's genre and age group tend to be more politically liberal. The document concludes that the protagonist should not represent right-wing politics and should be male to appeal to the primary target demographic. It also determines that the film should be rated 12 to avoid mature content and appeal to younger viewers.
The document summarizes techniques used in several thriller/horror film trailers that effectively build tension and suspense. It notes that the trailers often start with a slow, eerie tone set through music and shots before intensifying with faster cuts, louder music, and shorter shots as the trailer progresses to create a climactic effect. Color grading and filters are also used to make the visuals darker and more unsettling. These techniques are observed to gradually increase anticipation and grip the audience, leaving them wanting more - which is an effective selling technique. The document considers using several of these tension-building methods in its own trailer.
A teaser trailer is typically under a minute and released about a year before the film's release to create excitement and suspense without revealing much. A theatrical trailer is about 2 and a half minutes, shows more footage and clips, and is released closer to the film's release to further promote the movie. Teaser and theatrical trailers are both meant to build awareness and anticipation leading up to a film's release.
The document summarizes feedback received on a documentary and its accompanying promotional tasks. Key points include:
- Feedback was received via a questionnaire and social media to gain perspectives from different audiences.
- Aspects people liked were the montage scene, voiceover, and background sounds in the radio ad.
- Areas for improvement included video quality, framing of shots, and edges in the digital ad.
- Both promotional tasks complemented the documentary but a TV ad may have been more suitable than a radio spot.
- If redone, more care would be taken filming, a TV not radio ad created, and multiple versions of the digital ad produced.
The document discusses how a documentary about a band followed several conventions for A-roll footage, while also developing the format in some ways. Specifically, it used tripods, proper framing and lighting for interviews, but developed the convention by using two cameras for an interview. This provided different angles that enhanced viewer engagement. Graphics were also placed at the bottom of interviews to identify speakers. B-roll footage was used between interviews to supplement the content. Voiceovers were omitted to challenge conventions and keep the documentary flowing smoothly through interviews and background music.
Teaser trailers are short advertisements, 30-60 seconds long, released months before a film to build anticipation without revealing much about the film's content. They aim to pique audience interest through cryptic references or hints at the story. Teaser trailers are a low-cost marketing technique used for big-budget or highly anticipated films to generate early buzz and interest leading up to the film's release.
The document describes the process of editing a documentary about the color red. Clips and interviews were added to the timeline and trimmed to remove irrelevant parts. A title sequence was created at the beginning to introduce the topic. Interviews were edited by removing questions and unrelated answers. Archive footage of the color red was included in the title montage. Effects were added to transitions to link clips smoothly. The opening was developed to display everyday uses of red with voiceover. The documentary follows codes for sequencing, pacing, and continuity of information.
The document discusses how ancillary texts like film posters and radio trailers are important for advertising films and appealing to wider audiences. It then describes a film poster and radio trailer created by the author's group to promote their psychological thriller film "Lost Possession" targeting young adults. The film poster features the cast names, a mysterious slogan, and reviews to attract interest without revealing too much of the plot. The radio trailer uses short clips and a male voiceover to convey the thriller genre and rating in an engaging way that leaves the audience wanting more. In conclusion, the author believes their ancillary texts will effectively advertise the film while maintaining an air of mystery.
The document discusses how the production team used various media technologies throughout their research, planning, and construction of their documentary and other media products. They researched documentary filmmakers like Louis Theroux on platforms like Google to inform their style. WhatsApp and text messages were used to plan filming schedules and meetings. Microsoft Word was used to write scripts. A Canon camera and Sony microphone were used to film interviews and B-roll. Premier Pro software allowed them to encode and edit the documentary, applying effects to keep it professional.
The document discusses audience feedback that was received on a student horror trailer project. It provides details on:
1) How feedback was collected from peers - by having each trailer screened and receiving one positive and one area for improvement.
2) The most common feedback received focused on audio issues, particularly music/sounds overwhelming dialogue.
3) How the feedback was used to improve the trailer, such as clarifying an ambiguous character death and addressing audio concerns.
1) The filmmakers received feedback from audiences that not all viewers enjoyed the genre-specific trailer and that psychological horror appeals to some but not all.
2) Most feedback was positive about the narrative, music, and certain scenes. However, some scenes were noted as being too long and losing the plot. It was also noted that the footage appeared to be shot during the day.
3) The filmmakers worked to address the feedback by minimizing fast cuts, increasing contrast to add more shadows, and re-shooting scenes that were noted as being too long. They were pleased with the final trailer.

The document discusses the importance of gathering audience feedback at various stages of creating a film or other product. It provides examples of how the film "28 Days Later" improved based on feedback to the original ending. The author's group gathered feedback on a horror film trailer they created from target audiences and others. This feedback identified ways to improve the pacing, inclusion of titles, sound effects, and other elements. The group implemented these changes, which enhanced the success and appeal of the final trailer.
The document discusses the importance of audience feedback throughout the process of creating a film. Some key points:
1) Feedback was crucial at various stages of development from the initial idea, to the script, storyboard, editing, and final film. This helped improve the film and address any issues.
2) Feedback came in the form of both positive comments and constructive criticism. The author learned to take both seriously to strengthen weak areas and maintain strong elements.
3) Changes were made based on feedback, such as adjusting shots, sounds, and dialogue boxes to improve pacing and understandability. Feedback also helped determine when changes were not actually needed.
The document discusses the importance of gathering audience feedback at various stages of creating a film or other product. It provides examples from the film "28 Days Later" where negative feedback improved the ending. The author's group created a horror film trailer and gathered feedback from surveys, test screenings with other students and non-students, which helped them improve the pacing, add necessary elements like titles, and decide not to reveal too much of the plot. The feedback was overall positive and helped strengthen the scary and suspenseful elements of the trailer.
- The focus group screening responded positively overall to the trailer but provided some suggestions for improvement. They liked the intertitles matching the theme and the dialogue/acting. They suggested adding blood to knife shots and that the trailer needed music. The average score was 6/10.
- As a result of the screening, they finished editing the trailer to the final length and added custom music. They filmed additional shots like a jump scare ending and a car wheel screeching. They added more gore effects like a scalping shot using latex and fake blood.
- The evaluation screening went well overall. They were happy with how it came together with the music. Minor adjustments like sound levels were suggested. The swearing caused
The document discusses feedback received from an audience on drafts of promotional materials created for a horror film called Eighteen. The feedback helped improve the trailer, magazine, and poster. For the magazine, the audience suggested adding more compelling cover lines and explanations to attract a wider range of readers. For the poster, they advised selecting a single strong image rather than two confusing images. The feedback screening process and receiving anonymous written comments allowed for an unbiased assessment to further refine the promotional campaign.
Feedback is important for filmmakers to improve their films and attract larger audiences. The document discusses how filmmakers use test screenings and marketing pitches to get feedback from their target demographics on whether audiences enjoy the film. The feedback is then used to make changes to better suit the target audience. The document also discusses how the filmmakers created an online survey and showed early cuts of their teaser trailer to classmates to collect feedback, which helped them identify areas for improvement and make changes to elements like sound, inclusion of a release date, and voiceover. Overall, receiving feedback from similar audiences to their target was essential for creating the best possible final marketing products.
The group felt they learned and improved editing and camerawork skills from their preliminary task to the full product. For editing in iMovie, they progressed in cutting footage to the required length, adding transitions and sound effects. Their rough cut was over length so they further edited it down. They developed skills in precision timing for sound and placement of transitions. For camerawork, they used techniques like close-ups, over-the-shoulder shots, and tracking shots which they improved upon from the preliminary task to the final product.
The document provides a critical reflection on a documentary project about the death penalty. It summarizes the student's thoughts on various aspects of the project such as the secondary research, pre-production, filming, interviews, audience feedback, and areas for improvement. Some of the key points made include that the secondary research helped add to their knowledge and develop better questions, the pre-production process kept them organized, the filming went smoothly though lighting was an issue in one scene, audience feedback highlighted strengths like the concept but also areas to improve like transitions and separating fact scenes.
The document discusses a student's media production of a thriller film opening. It reflects on how the production used conventions from real thriller films in aspects like costumes, locations, and lighting. The student aimed to represent teenagers as the main social group. The most likely distribution method would be straight-to-DVD or television due to the low-budget nature of the production. The intended audience was identified as males aged 15-18 based on research of similar films' audiences. Through the production, the student learned about challenges of filming in low light, the importance of shot types and camera movements, and skills in editing software. Feedback on a rough cut helped fine tune the final product.
The document discusses the conventions used in the production of a teaser trailer for a sci-fi thriller film titled "Paradox". It examines the use of shots, sound effects, and comparisons to other films like "Looper" in challenging conventions. The target audience is identified as 15-24 year olds of both genders. Visual elements of promotional materials like posters and magazines are discussed, comparing designs to "Looper" to highlight similarities and unconventional elements.
Evaluation part 4 what you have learnt from your audience feedback. katywrighting1996
The document discusses feedback received from test screenings of a trailer for a psychological horror film called "The Hanging Tree." Positive feedback included that the story was clear and engaging, the soundtrack was effective, and costumes and sets looked good. Negative feedback noted that more should happen later in the trailer, the main character should be shown more, and a visual jump scare was needed. Edits were made to address these points, including reshooting and adding a final fast-paced montage. Further screenings received positive responses, confirming the improved trailer would appeal to its target audience.
The audience feedback was crucial for developing the media products in a way that would appeal to the target audience. Feedback allowed the magazine cover design to be improved by selecting the more positively received draft and making additional design changes. Feedback also convinced the group to overhaul the poster design after the original received negative reviews. Minor feedback improved the film trailer by rearranging clips and changing the soundtrack. The questionnaire provided important insights into what genres the audience expected to see incorporated into the products.
The document provides an evaluation of focus groups that provided feedback on a movie trailer. There were both positive and negative comments received. The negatives, such as an unclear narrative and length, were seen as more important to address. Based on the feedback, the trailer was edited to shorten unnecessary shots, clarify the narrative, and balance the music volume. The final focus group found improvements, though some felt the narrative was still complex. Overall, the document reflects on the value of audience feedback in developing and refining the trailer.
The document discusses the production and evaluation of a horror film trailer created by the author. It summarizes the conventions followed in the trailer, such as dark lighting and close-up shots, as well as some conventions that were challenged, like having a female antagonist. The author describes changes that were made during production due to difficulties with casting, scheduling, and length. Audience feedback indicated that the plot should have been made more ambiguous and props added to make it seem more authentic. The author used various new media technologies at different stages of research, planning, production and evaluation of the trailer.
- The document discusses a student's media studies evaluation of their short film and how it compares to Shane Meadows' film in terms of conventions, narrative structure, and character development.
- The student analyzes how their film fits Todorov's narrative theory of equilibrium being disrupted and then repaired.
- Audience feedback was generally positive about the storyline, use of voiceover, and comedic elements, but identified some unsteady camera shots that could be improved.
- The student describes using a variety of media technologies like images, slideshows, blogs, and a director's commentary for construction, research, planning and evaluation of their project.
1) The document reviews a thriller film trailer called "The Follower" aimed at 15+ year old audiences.
2) The trailer draws inspiration from films like "The Bourne Identity" and "Attack the Block" with an unknown protagonist in an urban setting to build intrigue.
3) Technical problems arose during editing where source videos couldn't be found, but the author used free time to work around issues and improve the trailer.
What have you learned from your target audience feedback?Jake Wilde
The document discusses feedback received from a target audience throughout the process of creating a teaser trailer. Feedback was gathered through questionnaires, film pitches to peers, storyboard reviews, and focus groups to watch drafts of the teaser trailer. The target audience feedback helped determine the genre, identify confusing elements of the narrative, and highlighted needed improvements like making scenes brighter or shortening the logo clip. Overall, the feedback allowed the group to iteratively improve the teaser trailer and ensure it met the expectations of the target audience.

Audience feedback
1. What have you learnt from
your Audience feedback?
So what did
you think?
Well, there were some
good moments, and some
moments that could have
been done better
2. Importance of feedback
Audience feedback is one of the most important pieces of information
in the undertaking of producing any product designed for a group of
people, and this is because you want to make sure that the final
product that you produce is going to interest that group of people. If
the final product does not interest that group of people then the effort
spent going into the creation of the product was time that could have
been better spent doing other things.
This PowerPoint details the suggestions given to us from critical
feedback that we were given from a more professional standpoint, and
how we were able to deal with it.
3. Making improvements
Audience feedback was very useful throughout the creation of our trailer
because it allowed us to go back and make changes/improvements to the
work that we had already done. At various stages when we thought that the
trailer was nearing completion we would show the trailer to a select
audience for their thoughts and feedback, taking on board any of their
critical points that were necessary in order to make the trailer more effective
than it was already. The feedback that we received was always helpful and
useful in pointing out anything that we had missed or hadn’t considered
adding to the trailer. Whilst at times it gave us a lot more work to do, it was
well extra effort well worth putting in so as to make sure that the final
product that we would release would be as effective as it possibly could be.
4. Suggestion 1
One of the main elements of feedback that was given to us was
that (early on at least) the trailer felt far too linear, it felt less
like a trailer and more like an extract of the film. Whilst the
purpose of both of those is to give the audience a taste of the
film, the primary role of a trailer is to whet the audience
appetite by showing them a little bit of everything and yet at
the same time show them only the barest hint of the full extent
of what is going on in the film. Therefore, it was important that
we make sure that we added more and more different little bits
into the trailer, some of which did not have to be obvious as to
the exact nature of what was really going on so that the
audience watching the trailer would be able to feel like the
trailer had a lot going on so the film itself would also be
interesting because it would have a lot of exciting elements to
it.
5. Suggestion 1 (extension)
As an extension to this, audiences were also saying that what we
were showing them felt like it was all taken from the start of the film.
What a trailer should do, whilst it should not do anything to give
away any key plot twists or give away even hints of moments from
the very end of the film, is pick out key moments from almost all
areas of the film’s plotline. In order to make sure that our trailer fit
this mandate of showing more, we decided to add more scenes in
which Mya could be seen to have a closer look into what was really
going on behind the scenes at the Trory Anwir Institute of Mental
Health, as well as improving the later scenes in which Mya comes to
Christopher with information about what is going on. By doing this,
we were able to show more of what goes on in the film, whilst at the
same time we do not give away the exact nature of what is going on
and although we show bits of Mya’s reaction to this revelation it
does not show how exactly that will end either.
6. Suggestion 2
A key complaint that we received was that (initially) the trailer felt
like it lasted too long. The sweet spot for trailer length is usually
between 2 – 2½ minutes in length, whereas our initial trailer
iterations exceeded three minutes, with the first draft being 2:59 in
length. This was a huge miscalculation as a trailer lasting this long is
likely to either show far too much to the audience or outright bore
them. No audience likes to watch a trailer for that duration, and if
the audience is bored (as opposed to having their interest piqued
or their appetite whetted) then the producer of the trailer has
monumentally failed in delivering a good quality trailer. In order to
make sure that we did not do this, we made sure that any moment
of the trailer lasting too long was cut down (even by fractions of a
second because every little bit was going to count) and anything
that was either of secondary importance or just outright
uninteresting was cut in its entirety (and often replaced with
something that was shorter and more interesting). This allowed us
to keep within the desired time frame that any successful trailer
should exist within.
Original trailer length
– audience: ”this is too long, I’m
bored!”
Final trailer length
– audience: ”much better”
7. Suggestion 3
A demand, unsurprising for the trailer of a Thriller film, is that the tension
needed to be racked up more. In the initial draft of the trailer, after Mya
Brown discovers the initial file revealing that the Trory Anwir Institution of
Mental Health, she goes to talk to Christopher about her discovery. We
had decided to do this in a way that we believed was mournful and sad
yet dramatic with the revelation given by a final line. The effect that we
actually created however was awful because, according to our audience,
it killed the tense atmosphere that had been set up by the build-up to
discovering the file. A part of this was due to the change in soundtrack,
where the previous track had been gradually getting louder and louder,
the new track was quieter, slower and more peaceful therefore killing the
atmosphere. In order to fix this, we were able to film further scenes that
were not in the original script, leading to giving further and further hints
as to what was going on in the Trory Anwir Institute of Mental Health
without actually revealing the full extent of the truth. This enabled us to
create the tense atmosphere that was more fitting to the end of our
trailer.

(original
trailer)
8. Suggestion 4
Another complaint from our audiences was that the trailer did not feel professional
enough. This came through in a couple of different moments, of which the first was
the voice recording we had done for Silvia Brown’s dialogue; which is used to open
the trailer. In order to fix this, we needed to go back and re-record her dialogue
(whilst also making it shorter, which would allow us to fit in more moments that
would be taken from later on in the film). This time around, rather than trying to
film her talking and then removing the visuals (a poorly thought out idea that we
should never have decided to run with), we took a higher quality microphone that
we were able to plug into audacity. This enabled us to make the recording sound
more professional as the background echo was no longer there. The second thing
that we needed to change was a shot later on in the trailer which had poor framing.
At the moment in which Mya Brown is in a counselling session with DR Goodwin,
the second shot that we took (which was supposed to have greater focus on DR
Goodwin) still saw half of Mya on the edge of the shot. In order to fix this issue, we
decided to remove the visuals and have the audio carry through into the next
moment. Seeing at the counselling session scenario had already been set up,
audiences would still be able to tell that that is where the audio is coming from,
whilst at the same time creating the effect that DR Goodwin is internally mulling
over Mya’s slightly unconvincing reply that there is nothing wrong as she prepares
to go back into the science lab.
Keep it strictly
professional
9. Ultimately
Ultimately, without the feedback given to us from select audiences, we
would not have been able to make the final version of the trailer look
anywhere near as exciting, tense or professional as it could have been.
By allowing audiences to have a look at earlier versions of our trailer it
allowed them to give us those critical suggestions and thus allow us to
make the necessary modifications.
