3. An overview of feedback I
received…
I recorded 5 students from Goffs School from a variety of ages this is what they came up with all
the people I asked said that they could easily tell the genre of my horror trailer which first of all is a
bonus because we have succeeded in that main area.
Some said it was effective due to the good use of jump cuts, the horror sounds in the
background, when you think the trailer is finished they found it effective that it actually wasn’t,
they feel it is more of a surprise. One boy said the clip where the main character jumps in the air it
looked like a good use of effects. Its easy to understand the story line and a good vibe to go and
watch the film. The fact that it had no music in the background made you feel like you was
there. Also the white snow made it look like a hand held camera scenarios which is what we was
hoping to achieve.
Too improve one said we should have the music build up towards the end of the trailer, and that
we needed to add more dialogue.
The majority said the ancillary tells you could tell were linked up with the horror trailer, really good
use of images from the location shots and they looked professional and could see it standing out
on the shelves so they all agreed that they would buy the magazine and one boy said it was at a
reasonable price.
They believe it is easy to understand the storyline your not left with confusion.
Overall I am completely impressed with the feedback I received and that I feel we have done a
great job in the group as a whole.
