Audience Survey

When a film/trailer is released, the audience feedback is imperative and necessary to dictate how successful the finished product actually is. The main goal is to have it sold, and the only way to do this is by making sure you create something the target audience will love. So we decided to create a survey that involved of five questions about the genre and what they would expect:

(The link to our survey: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/LN7ND36)

 1. The most popular vote was 'Switch'- most likely because it best describes the plot and its easy to remember.
2. Font is a big part of a trailer, we must make sure it looks as professional as possible and suits the whole aesthetic. The 'messy' option won- the audience expect the theme to be hectic.
3. This answer to this question is most likely to change; it all depends on how the shots look and once we have done the experimenting is when we can decide what colour would be best to use. 














4. These are the answers received for question 4- this tells us that when thinking of our genre the most popular words that come to mind are 'darkness' 'scary' 'jumpy editing'. Fortunately, all of the words given in are ones we already have/are planning to include in post-production.


5. These answers are what the participants expect whilst watching a trailer of our genre: the most popular words being 'confused' 'fear' 'unexpected' 'shocked' etc. Again, these are emotions we already wanted to produce so we are glad that the audience agrees.

Our trailer is a psychological horror/thriller and throughout the storyboard I tried to convey the different emotions/actions the characters would face. The figures are not character specific as we knew we would end up changing and switching roles/actions of each character as we filmed.
The trailer begins with a slow zoom out which shows the outside of a tunnel, before the camera comes to a stop at the four characters; shifting focus from one protagonist to the second. A straight-cut shows one of the protagonists in the circle with a bloodied face (extreme close-up) before a straight-cut to a montage of violence that takes place in the movie.
We decided to have shots of calming scenes that break up the excessive violence and give the audience periodic breaks - these shots are where we could possible have quotes/ratings/words appear in relation to the film.

Juxtaposing shots of characters laughing/screaming/spaced out will present their dissociative and split disorders/personalities as it switches from scene to scene, before ending on a shot of all the characters standing at a shoreline and looking out into the water, representing the tranquility or peace they have all found from coming together and sharing/understanding their violent tendencies with one another.
