after producing this trailer, we showed it to the rest of our class, they informed up that although it was really good, some of the shots were perhaps a bit long winded and not as exciting as they can be. we then showed it to our media teacher Ms Taylor who told us that it was more like a mini-film instead of a trailer, and again not as exciting as it could be. our other media teacher Mrs Braidy said she loved all the hand-held shots that we have used and would like to see more of them.
The class commented on how sound has been used really effectively in the trailer, the shot lengths just need to be shorter, snappier and more exciting as it is supposed to be a horror trailer not a mini film.
one other thing that they mentioned, was we was not leaving much to the imagination, like we showed who the killer was, and some of the ways that the people died. this does not leave enough suspense for the audience to want to go and view the film as they already know what happens. they suggested not showing the killings, or the killer for most of the trailer, just have the dramatic scene with him coming towards the camera at the end of the trailer- this will leave it more mysterious to what happens to the teenagers in the woods.
Taking all of the comments into account we spend a further two hours making changes to our trailer.
