When we came back into Media with our first set of clips we let the rest of our class watch the clips that we had shot and the draft final piece, a bit rough in places, but it showed you all of the shots and the basic story line for the trailer. From this we asked our audience what they thought of our piece, and below are several responses:
Member 1:
"A lot of good shots, some of them very mysterious, but it lacks horror and thrill"
Member 2:
"I like the story line you have I just think it needs 1 or 2 clips just to fully complete it"
Member 3:
"It has potential to be something good"
We expected a lot of criticism for it, I chose to ignore comments about what it was lacking as far as typical codes and conventions of a movie trailer, such as the 'the following preview has been approved for appropriate audiences' and other things like the title of the film and the credits. This was because the version of the film we showed them just showed raw clips, and the basic story line with those clips. From the criticism that we got I think it was fair to say it needed work, so myself and Tom went away with the ideas that we already had and decided to change them to act upon the feedback. For details on the changes we made to the filming and story line of the film trailer see the next blog post 'Movie Trailer: Shooting The Piece'.
