Sophie and her friend created multiple cuts of a movie trailer, incorporating feedback each time. They added dramatic cuts, more of a character alone, and dialogue to the first cut based on friends' feedback. Subsequent cuts included a newspaper report and shorter dialogue. They also created an "obsession wall" to better convey the plot. Feedback helped them improve the trailer, poster, and magazine cover for their movie project. Getting feedback throughout the process from different groups helped them notice flaws and make their work more professional.

1. First Cut Trailer
After Sophie had finished editing the first cut, she sent it to me and then to our
friendship group of some feedback.
Me:
-Add some more dramatic cuts
Friends:
-Use more cuts of Cerys on her own
-Add some dialogue
-very interesting/makes me want to watch more
Second Cut Trailer
After finishing our second cut we needed to show our teacher and class peers.
We were later doing this than or other class mates due to losing our footage only
a few weeks prior. By this time we had added a section of a newspaper report,
spoken by Jack Mellish, one of our friends.
We got some really helpful feedback:
-Make the dialogue shorter as it drags on
-Is too long and slow it seems more like a film opening
-Add some something to be more clear on the plot

2. Third Cut Trailer
Sophie and I sent ages going back and fourth over how we could
make our trailer more interesting and clear on a plot. This is when
we decided that we really did need a crazy obsession wall. This
took a long time for us to make.
We asked people in our independent study lessons what they
would expect to see on something as creepy like this. So we got
ideas of phone numbers and addresses, other ways to track
someone down. We even got a snip of Sophie’s blonde hair,
linking back to the ‘Masked Mans’ stimulus of blond little girls.
I think that this adds a lot of dynamic to our trailer and really put
across a creepy feeling, that really creates the plot for an
audience to understand.

3. Sixth Cut Trailer / Seventh Cut
This is some feedback that our
teacher and peers gave us. We
completely agreed with everything.
This was my personal feedback
for Sophie in how I thought that
we could make it more dramatic.

4. Poster
We got a lot of feedback from our friendship group with the poster as
we continued to try new colours and texts. We recreated the poster so
many times as the editing process on ‘Be Funky’ was very difficult in
some ways.

5. Magazine
We asked our friends using our group chat on WhatsApp to
help us with any final things that we should change on our
magazine cover.

6. What We Have Learnt From
Audience Feedback
Audience feedback, for A2 was something that we both wanted to improve
and use to gain other opinions throughout the process as opposed to only at
the end. This meant that we left time to gather feedback, to allow us to
improve and be notified of flaws we did not identify ourselves.
Each time we created a cut we aimed to show it to different people to get
multiple opinions. Getting feedback from our class was very useful as they
drew our attention to not just the creative parts but as well the fact that we
didn’t put a realises date in the trailer at all, they also reminded us that we
must have a ident on our film poster. This made everything look slightly more
professional.
When it came to the magazine I found feedback from our friends very useful
as it was then that I realised I had actually spelt something wrong and never
noticed it. It took someone reading it for the first time to fully clock on to the
error.
Not only did we get audience feedback for the main products as a whole but
also from things such as; the company name and the trailer name. this meant
from the start we were already targeting our primary audience.
