Feedback For Trailer 2 and 3

Trailer 2 Verbal Feedback Main Points

• Needs Green screen
• Needs company logo at beginning
• Dialogue hard to hear
• Needs shorter clips towards the end
• Introduce characters in a different way

From these points I decided to mute dialogue and do a voice over, add green screen and company logo, change order of clips, make some clips shorter and place them at the end, film a new 'character into', redraft storyboard

Comparison of trailer 2 to trailer 3

Trailer Version 3

Soundtrack

These are all the music clips I used in my trailer, I downloaded them from freesound.org which is a copyright free website where you are allowed to use the sound from there for whatever you like.

Hardware Used

1) Fujifilm digital bridge camera

I used this camera to take the photos for the magazine and movie poster and to film the clips for the trailer.
This camera was good for filming as it has a high optical zoom

Software Used

1) Photoshop

I used photoshop to create my magazine covers










2) Paintshop Pro

I used paintshop pro to create my movie poster













3) Dafont

I used dafont.com to get some unusual fonts which are not supplied
already on computers. I searched for horror style fonts to match the genre.



4) Windows Movie Maker

I originally wanted to use adobe premier pro but
for some reason my movies would not play on premier pro
so instead I had to use movie maker which limited my editing to an extent.







5) Microsoft Excel

I used excel to create graphs for my audience research results so that my findings were displayed and easy to compare

Results

I gave the questionnaire to 4 males and 6 females

• Only 1 person was under the age of 15.
• 6 people were between the ages 16 and 30.
• 2 people were 31 - 45.
• 1 person was 46-60.
• No people who completed the questionnaire was older than 61.

I asked people what their favourite movie genre is, none of the people I asked said sci-fi. Most of the people (4) said horrors were their favourite.

It is clearly evident which method of advertising attracts people to watch a film most.

• Rap/hip hop = 4
• Pop = 3
• Rock = 2
• Reggae = 1

All the results are the same amount except ipod.



Reflection

Most of the audience favourite movie genre is horror/thriller so I shall make my own movie this genre as this is clearly what people like to see. 3/5 of my audience said trailers attract them to watch a film, this is more than half so I need to spend more time on my trailer and make sure its the best.
