We did a survey of 15 people, The results were as follows:
11 of the 15 where aged between 12-17 and the remaining where aged over 18 years of age, although those aged over 18 years old were still under 25. These numbers helped to give us a representative of the ages we wanted and furthermore help us to produce a well-received trailer.
Every person we asked gave a response to what is enticing about teaser trailers, although majoratively the answers revolved around a “plot that does not give too much away” and a “fast paced trailer that draws you in”. From this we concluded that we should use a lot of fast paced scenes, that are interesting and temporarily satisfying, that all revolve around the general gist of the film, but do not give away crucial parts of the film.
Upon being asked their favourite genre the answers were as follows:
Action: 6
Thriller: 4
Sci-Fi: 1
Horror: 2
Comedy: 3
From this we gathered that action and thriller where the most important genres to revolve around as they were the most favourable.
Peoples favourite trailers generally tended to lean towards action and comedy (inevitably) films such as ‘The Dark Knight’ and ‘The Hangover’ respectively, although luckily films such as ‘Snatch’ and ‘Lock Stock…’ where mentioned, obviously this sparked curiosity as this was going to be our area of ideas. Upon asking more they recalled the classic Guy Ritchie introduction of characters, this therefore we pin-pointed as a key feature to use.

The questionnaire.
The questionnaire we have here gives us a rough evaluation of audience feedback and therefore helps us to be able to correlate the results positively which will enable us to make our trailer more applicable to our target audience; Teenagers/young adults. The Results will be added with a critical anaysis to further dissect our results.

the new plan
this is a quick plan that really took our film in a different direction than we originally intended. not really drastic changes but it really helped us get a better idea on our film and add more shots in to give it a bit more length.
