The group researched thriller codes and conventions to inform their trailer. Their early drafts were too vague, but after feedback they added elements like a cliffhanger ending and quick cuts to build tension. They challenged conventions by having a female protagonist rather than male and not including intensely thrilling scenes. Locations and props provided clues without revealing the full plot.

Movie trailers analysis
The document discusses and analyzes two movie trailers - one for the comedy film "Life as we know it" and one for the horror sequel "Paranormal Activity 2". Key points made about the trailers include: showing the film title late increases memorability, using stars can attract audiences, music and pacing help set tone, and clips provide more context than posters to entice viewers without giving too much away. Both trailers aim to tease and build intrigue about the films' plots through suspenseful images and minimal text or voiceover.

Questionnaire Results Summary
The document summarizes the results of a questionnaire about action film preferences. It found that the target audience is evenly split between male and female, ages 18-24. They enjoy fast pacing, explosions, car chases, and attractive people in action films. Respondents expect to see these elements, along with fast editing and build up, in appealing action film trailers. While no single storyline was preferred, the favorite action films cited were James Bond and Non Stop films, suggesting an espionage genre trailer may be most effective.
Audience Feedback
The document discusses obtaining audience feedback during the research, planning, and production stages of creating an action film trailer and ancillary products. Feedback was gathered through questionnaires and by showing similar professional works. This helped the document's author learn the audience's preferences, what they liked and disliked about the works-in-progress, and how to make the products more appealing by incorporating the feedback. The author was able to refine their works based on the feedback to better suit the target audience and genre.
Interview
The document is a transcript of an interview about action film trailers. The interviewee discusses their frequent watching of action films. When shown trailers for Guardians of the Galaxy and Furious 7, they found Furious 7 to be the most appealing as it conveyed the plot and themes through effects and title screens. They also found it to be the most conventional action trailer due to its cliches. The Guardians trailer was seen as weaker for being too long.
Location Scouting
The document discusses location scouting for a film production. It identifies the Neale-Wade Academy classroom that will be rearranged as an office, Wimblingtion Road for driving scenes due to its quiet nature, a church area for dark and secluded scenes portraying illegal activities to avoid police intervention, and Robingoodfellows Lane for other illegal activity scenes due to its isolation.

The document seeks audience feedback on preferred versions of the different sound effect options.
Self Evaluation
The student analyzed drafts of their magazine cover, poster, and storyboard for a film trailer alongside professional examples. For the magazine cover and poster, the student felt their drafts had potential to be effective because they were very similar to the professional examples in terms of layout and positioning of elements. For the storyboard, the student felt it could be successful because it showed scenes out of order and had shorter scenes at the end to build intensity, matching conventions used in professional film trailers.
Effective Production Work
Dale Richardson outlines qualities of effective and ineffective production work. Effective work shows careful consideration of technical elements like costume, camerawork and editing to tell a story with intrigue and tension. A variety of shots, locations, actors and original footage is used with well-designed printed materials. Students demonstrate individual contributions and appropriate use of software to create high quality products conforming to genre conventions. Ineffective work lacks these elements and shows little variety, originality or individual effort.
Test Shots
This document provides descriptions of test shots for scenes in a spy/action movie trailer. Shots of a police car at the end with sirens will show the spy capturing an arrested drug dealer. Shots of a car will show the spy escaping from drug dealers and intensify the trailer. Additional shots include the car tire pulling away at speed during a chase, the interior as the spy drives in fear during the chase, the spy's eyes in the mirror as he drives seriously to his next assignment, looking out the back of the spy's car during the chase, and the front of the car tracking it as the spy drives away.
Audience feedback
The document summarizes audience feedback on a script, storyboard, trailer, poster, and magazine cover created by the author. The audience felt the trailer was too linear and revealed too much of the story. They also said the storyboard lacked detail. The audience thought the basic layouts of the poster and magazine cover were conventional but suggested adding images to better evaluate them. Based on this feedback, the author will modify the trailer to jump between more scenes, add more details to the storyboard, and redraft the poster and magazine cover with example images.

Interview
- 1. Transcript: 1. How often would you say you watch action films? 2. I will now show you these action film trailers, could you please tell me your opinions on them? 3. Which trailer was the most appealing to you and why? 4. Which trailer was the most conventional? 5. Which trailer was the weakest and what would you improve? 1. I often watch action films at home, if I go to the cinema I only watch the action blockbusters like James Bond and Fast and Furious. 2. Use of low key lighting in the guardians of the galaxy as well as the detailed costumes and props. In the Furious 7 trailer I liked the sounds of vehicles and the soundtrack of the trailer as well as the fast pace. 3. The 2nd trailer was more appealing due to its fast pace and more action like connotations whereas the first didn’t really have much action shown in it. 4. The 2nd trailer was more conventional. 5. The 1st trailer was weaker as it was much slower paced and focused on introducing characters rather than showing any action sequences. 1. I watch action films very often but I also watch other genres to the same extent. 2. From the guardians trailer I liked the use of humour within the trailer to contrast the themes of the film being friendly yet also a fight against an evil cause, good choice of music in the trailer. The Furious 7 trailer used many special effects, it gave a sense of the plot of the film, the trailer showed clear themes within the trailer when title screens came up with one word such as Vengeance. 3. The Furious 7 trailer was more appealing as it gave a sense of the plot of the film, the other trailer was quite long and is more aimed at people who have an acquired taste for films. 4. The furious 7 was more conventional as it seemed to show more ideas that it was an action film with the usual clichés such as guns explosions and Hollywood movie stars such as The Rock. 5. The guardians’ trailer was weaker as it seemed to be too long as a trailer.
