Construction Work

I have completed my draft trailer and to accompany this I have done some focus group feedback.

Below is my draft version for my trailer.

In this feedback I was told that the lighting was too light because it didn't reflect the horror genre. I was also told to consider adding dialogue to help explain the narrative of my trailer more clearly as it the moment it is very unclear. Another point was to add more shot angles for example a high angle shot as these look effective and makes it seem more like an actual trailer. I was also told I needed more shots of the key protagonist (the person who is possessed) as this is an important convention of a film trailer and would make my film a lot more 'scarier' to the audience.

To help me make these changes I contacted Tim a media technition helped me with the lighting aspect and showed me to change the lighting using premier pro, I did this by changing the tint and colour balance which made it darker and look more eery as it is now darker so fits the genre better. When I next went filming for the trailer I filmed each shot I took in a variety of angles so that I then had more variety of shots as this was a key point that my focus group said.

The key learning point is that I need to use music tech to help me import some sound effects and also add dialogue into my trailer to make the narrative more clear and shows more of the generic codes for horror films (screams).
