Questionnaire ResultsSophia Leiper
Do you feel that the teaser trailer follows the conventions for the genre?
• gave off a crime/thriller vibe; looks good
• Thriller/action; I think it works
• Yes
Do you find the lighting effective?
• Yes, it provides for fairly clear images
• Lighting was decent considering it was dark
• Yes, very
• Yes, the dark lighting gave it a more “intense” feeling
• Yes, it fits with the genre; dark adds to the suspense
• Yes, it was dark and eerie
• Adds to the ‘feel’ of the film
• Yes, especially with the hands
Does the non-diegetic sound fit the “feel” of the trailer?
• Yes, almost scary
• Yes, it sets the mood clearly
• Indeed it does
• Maybe try adding a knuckle-crack noise?
• The music gives it a hastened, intense feeling
• It was the right sort of speed and worked with the time of the clips
• Fast and action paced; it really worked
Do you feel all the locations are appropriate for the genre?
• Yes; looked kind of gloomy and eerie
• The alleyway swap over and the lady walking on the road proved very effective for the “thriller” feeling
• They all seemed very ‘gangstery‘
• The alleyway clip worked really well
Do you feel that a Cert15 is appropriate for this film?
• Yes, I think it could get away with a 12 but because of the “dead body’ I think the 15 is more appropriate
• No gore, but because of the likelihood of violence, I think it is correct
• The suggested violence could be inappropriate for younger audiences
• There is the possibility for drug use and violence, so yes
Do you think that the camera work is appropriate?
• A good variety of angles and lengths of shots
• Yes, but the scene with the “dead body” seemed too static because it is quite long
• Yes
• I’m not sure there as any other any other way to shoot it
Does the trailer give away the correct amount of information for the film?
• Are you going to add a release date or maybe just the year
• It grabs your attention but doesn’t give too much away. Maybe emphasise the “coming soon” by putting it on another slide
• Yes, you want to know the girl is and what is in the bag, etc
• Maybe give away a little bit more character detail
• The correct amount for a teaser trailer
• Hardly gives anything away but that adds to the mystery
Is the editing appropriate?
• I like what you did with the dubbing of sound
• I thought it was really effective
• Yes, the quick cuts suit the genre
• Mostly, the dead body was on screen for too long
• I did enjoy the use of superimposition and cut aways
• Yes
Would you say that the pace of the teaser is appropriate for the genre?
• Yep, the music is a great help
• Yes, considering you limitations with your genre
• Yep
What improvements could be made overall?
• Slightly slower shots of the production companies
• Maybe a darker background for the production companies because they flash too brightly
• Maybe fade out the production companies
• Shorten the clip of the dead body
• The “green screen” from the MPAA is a bit fuzzy, maybe find a clearer one
• I really liked it; it reminds me a lot of RocknRolla
