-What have you learned from your audience feedback?
We wanted to know how effective our trailer was, so decided to ask people to watch it then ask them questions about it after. These are the questions posed to them:
1. What did you think of the trailer?
2. Is there anything you specifically liked?
3. In what ways do you think it has followed slasher horror trailer conventions?
4. What did you think of the killer's weapon?
5. How effective is the sound, both diegetic and non-diegetic, in the trailer?
6. Does the trailer make you want to see the film?
We got mixed feedback from our trailer, as some people liked certain aspects more than others. For example, one person said they liked the framing of the shots and the location, as it was effective in making it look isolated and scary.
Another person mentioned that they specifically liked the sound we used, and it was effective in it's aim.
The fact that the killer was hooded and had a hidden identity was liked by most people, as it followed conventions of existing, popular horror films.
