TRAILER- final feedback

The final form of feedback we obtained was via Facebook. In order to obtain optimum audience feedback to ensure our trailer was not only popular but had also met peoples' expectations, the trailer was posted onto Facebook. This was connected to our video which was connected to YouTube. By using convergence it was very easy to make our trailer gain more popularity. Posting it on Facebook was a success as our views have/are increasing. By doing this, it was also a sort of assurance from the initial audience feedback we received, so we needed to make sure the trailer lived up to their expectations.

AUDIENCE RESPONSE SURVEY ANALYSIS

We consider it important to analyse our target audience's answers to our survey to acknowledge the aspects they are interested in viewing and if its something plausible for us as a group to produce, in terms of location, character style/age/gender, sub-genre, sound etc.

In terms of the first question, when gathering footage we have collected most of what the audience has requested to see: weapons- fighting, different shadowing techniques with lighting differentiation, and we have created a collection of pictures of the male victimised protagonist in our trailer as the source of obsession.

AUDIENCE RESPONSE SURVEY

AUDIENCE RESPONSE SURVEY

The purpose of our audience response survey was to find out what our target audience (15+ year olds) would want to see in a psychological drama film. Although our group has already thought out a structure and plot features of our opening, the audience response would still definitely be beneficial towards the production decisions we will have to make.

Since we indeed chose homosexuality and technology as the basis of our plot; we subjected our questions in the below survey to it. This is to really narrow down exactly how our audience wish to see homosexuality presented and how they utilise technology themselves.
