Questionnaires and Polls

Another form of feedback that I used was a poll I took after showing the trailer to several people in my Collage. I asked them Five Questions:

1) Was the Genre of the Trailer (Horror) Apparent?

2) Did this trailer Make you want to go and see the Film?

3) In your Opinion, what was the best aspect of the trailer?

4) Do you think the trailer was long enough?

5) Did the trailer present an adequate amount of the films narrative?

Here are the results:

Question One:

Yes: 100% (30 Out Of 30 People)

No: 0% (0 Out of 30 People)

Question Two:

Filmed Interviews

Conclusion To this Feedback

From these different methods of receiving feedback I was able to accurately establish what was effective with my trailer and what different areas could have been improved. The use of he feedback from youtube, the questionnaires and the filmed interviews showed me that the trailer I created managed to meet the different preferences we wanted. The feedback stated that the target audience was established effectively and that the trailer for filled the overall purpose of a trailer; to make a consumer want to see the main feature.

This feedback gave me an idea of what could be improved on the website furthermore, In the filmed interviews two of my peers both stated improvements they felt the trailer could have. Ironically however the two improvements they each suggested are the opposites of each other, which simply proves that all people have different opinions and in that aspect the trailer will never be perfect.

From the feedback I was able to determine that the trailer did not give quite enough of the films narrative away, and that it was possibly too short. However, this feedback is still debatable as this trailer was only supposed to be a teaser trailer.
