Evaluation activity 3

This is our audience feedback for our trailer 'Betrayal'. We asked our peers to watch our trailer through and comment on certain aspects of it and tell us our strengths and improvements that we could have done to make our trailer more successful.
This was very useful to us as it allowed us to find slight mistakes that we have done in our production and will help us develop our skills when we make videos in the future.

Positives; 
- Fast pase editing was successful
- Music art the beginning worked well with the target audience.
- Sound effects worked well throughout the trailer.
-Enigmas are shown well a couple of times throughout the trailer.

By having these positive feed-backs, it helped us realize that we did meet nearly all of the conventions for horror films which allowed our trailer to be successful.

Negatives; 
- Sound could flow a bit better (when the girl screams - could have let it sound bridge over into next shot)
- Could have used more of a range of camera angles.
-You are introduced to a character and then don't know what happens to her (narrative could be quite confusing)

These negative feed-backs that we were given were things that we had already looked upon however decided to do it this was as we thought it made our production look better. For example; The girls scream we decided to cut short because we thought that when we used a sound bridge to link it into the next shot, it got rid of the adrenaline that the fast pase shots were giving the audience. This shows that we trailed and errored this part of the production.

We do agree that we could have used a higher range of camera angles to make our film come across more dramatic and link into the conventions of horror films - we will be sure to do this in future films.

However the reason we decided to leave one of the protagonist characters out of some of the trailer after introducing her is because we wanted that to be an enigma, leaving the audience asking questions, which we have proven successful as from our feedback they picked up on this.
