What we learnt through our audience feedback...

Teaser Trailer...

To collect feedback for our trailer, we asked a variety of people; both genders, and different ages. We

uploaded the trailer to facebook to allow anyone to comment with any feedback, giving us many different

opinions. We mostly asked our target audience - teenage girls to comment and leave feedback so that

we could understand if our trailer had reached mostly the correct audience. Here are what some of

our peers said about our teaser trailer...

From our feedback we learnt that nearly all of the viewers understood who the trailer’s target audience was. We found

that both genders found the storyline entertaining and thought that it looked realistic. We found that our audience found the

trailer interesting and some said that they would like to see the film. This tells us that we have created a piece of work that is aimed at the correct audience, and the genre and narrative

are precise. We think that if we was to do anything to improve the work, some of our camera work could be filmed more carefully to avoid any shaking camera movement. Only a

couple of the people that we asked picked up on this. Overall we have learnt that our trailer has been entertaining for our

target audience, and they enjoyed watching it.

Ancillary Products...We approached the ancillary feedback with a different approach.

We choose to hand out questions to our class to ask them to fill these in. We chose to only ask our target audience – teenage girls, so that we had a clear idea that we had

achieved our task. These are the questions that we asked...1.What are you initial thoughts on our ancillary product?

2.Do you think that it looks realistic?3.Do you think that the print work fits in with the correct genre? How?

4.Do you think that the print work links well with our teaser trailer? How?

Here are some of our peers answers to the questions which we asked...

1. I think that the ancillary product looks very professional and fun.2. Yes , the style and layout make it seem real.

3. Yes it looks feminine and gives a hint of the narrative.4. The character images and the use of clothing etc.

This is my friend Emma, she is 21 years old, so is a little over our supposed target audience age range. She enjoys reading magazines such as ‘Heat’

and ‘Now’, and has interest in Rom-com and Chick Flick movies, and listens to dance, R ‘n’ B and pop music. Which is typical of most girls this age. I

asked her to give me some constructive criticism on both my teaser trailer and my ancillary tasks...

I think that the ancillary tasks and the teaser trailer both link together really well. They show continuity through the colour theme and the style within the clothing etc. this allows the audience to be attracted to the film, as they have some kind of idea of what its going to be

about. The humorous parts in the trailer allow audiences to be interested in watching the film, and the promotion through the

magazine and film poster also gives a sense of entertainment. I usually read magazines such as heat, and the front cover attracts

me through the bright colours and images, which is exactly what the ‘Cool Film’ magazine did too!

We learnt that our target audience all found the ancillary tasks realistic, and all thought that they linked in well with our teaser trailer. This makes us aware that we have created work that clearly states the correct genre, and that interests the target

audience. As an improvement, from our feedback we learnt that if we was to do our print work again, we could make small

alterations such as the slogan on our film poster, or the colours on our magazine. Although we thought that the colours on our magazine attracted both audiences, an audience comment

doesn’t entirely agree. If we was to re do our work, we would take on board all comments from our class friends and make the small alterations to make our work seem as realistic and as interesting as possible. Overall we have learnt that our ancillary tasks have

appealed to the correct audience and have been consistent throughout.
