When our trailer was completed we designed a questionnaire and asked other media classes to take time and watch our film whilst filling out the questions. Many of the students seemed honest and gave constructive critism. One thing me and my partner noticed was that a lot of the students were stating that they liked some parts of the trailer and thought that it was funny at some parts but the plot had to be established more because sometimes they were left confused as to what was going on exactly. This was a reoccurring critism so I and my partner decided to change and refilm some parts of the trailer again to change and improve scenes.
Some examples of people's advice:
"Maybe make the plot a bit clearer, the main boy needs to be more established as a character"
"At the beginning establish the scene"
"Get the audience familiar with the school show"
Re-filming: - We had to re film certain scenes like the run up to the cast list near the end of the trailer and extend footage so that the audience gets the plot more, also we had to create a cast list that explained the school show so the audience got the idea of the setting e.t.c. This definitely improved our trailer and started to come along thanks to the constructive feedback that we gathered from other students.
