Evaluation question 3- Audience feedback

This is the original 'The 'Move' trailer that I showed to members of my target audience. My target audience for this horror trailer is 15-24 year olds, as they are more likely to want to make themselves 'scared'. I used 3 different target audience members to discuss different aspects of my trailer and comment on what they liked, what they disliked and how it could be improved. The 3 members of my target audience are intentionally very different in order to see if my trailer can appeal to a wide target audience, people with different hobbies and interests, all within the same age group.

 

 

 

 

 

 

So overall from my audience feedback I have learnt that the most successful area of my trailer was the mise-en scene, as feedback shows the costume, props and location used are widely effective. The mise en scene is conventional of the horror genre and is identified well by members of the target audience. I found that the prop of the dolls with blood on was a particularly memorable extract of the trailer for the audience, also the priest costume was thought to be an effective aspect. Audience feedback has shown me that my trailer can appeal to a wide range of different people within my age range as it is conventional of the horror genre though mise en scene, editing , camerawork and sound effects. Now I have conducted audience feedback, I will improve my product by shortening the trailer to make it more effective, changing the sound effects to make it more conventional of the horror genre and also record voice overs for a more professional approach.
