Audience feedback for me and my partners trailer, our poster and magazine:
The audience feedback I have gathered has been really helpful in the development of my media products. I have been collecting audience feedback at the beginning from pitching a story line in the research and planning stages. Here are the cases where I have used audience feedback.
The audience feedback I have gathered has been really helpful in the development of my media products. I have been collecting audience feedback at the beginning from pitching a story line in the research and planning stages. Here are the cases where I have used audience feedback.
Audience Interviews:
At the start of the process I filmed
audience videos to see their expectations from a film trailer which is where
the base of my ideas came from. The interviewers told us what was expected from
the horror genre such as the fast pace of a horror trailer, what interests
audiences to see a horror film and what is typical background music. We learnt
that the possession/stalker element would be a good and interesting idea to
develop for our plot.
Audience Interviews:
Me and my partner created
questionnaires across our college peers to find the typical codes and
conventions of a horror trailer. This included asking if people would prefer a
lot of transitions between shots, the ages which we found would appeal to 16+,
with an even score of the gender who would be interested in our trailer. A
helpful element which we took from the questionnaire was whether to use a
handheld camera throughout our trailer, which we found people liked the sound
of.
Feedback from the Media
Class:
We pitched our trailer ideas to our
college tutor, it was then decided that our first and more in depth plot would
be more realistic to create, and was overall the better more thought out idea.
We then took these ideas and filmed a short sequence of flash back scenes, of
our main character in a mental hospital. After viewing this to the media class
we received helpful feedback with improvements being to make the fact that she
is a mental hospital more clearly. An element of our trailer which the class
really liked was the fast pace editing which we then developed and worked on
through the whole trailer. After 3 viewings to the media class of our trailer
to show our progress we were given help for improvement each time and strengths
to expand, the feedback from our class was really helpful and influential throughout
the whole trailer.
Social Network Feedback:
Throughout the whole process of
creating the productions I often asked people from my target audience to give
feedback on my work through Facebook and twitter. This helped gather the
opinions and again make changes were needed and also decide the names on my
film, magazine name and production company logo/name. I found it really helpful
getting social networking feedback on my film poster; I struggled to make my
poster fit in with my other products so the suggestions received helped me a
great deal.
Overall Progress and Work
Class Feedback:
Through the year I gathered feedback
of my Trailer, Magazine and poster from my class and social media which were
very helpful in the process of creating my media products and was very influential
regarding the genre, and representation of my products.
Trailer commentary:
This is our trailer commentary showing our trailer before social networking feedback and after. On the first cut of our trailer majority of the scenes are flash back asylum sequences and our animatic storyboard. We took the advice and areas of improvement from our media class which can be seen on our final trailer.
