What have you learned from your Audience Feedback?

There is no doubt that to get the best possible trailer, we had to listen to what others around us thought about it and adjust minor parts to make our trailer a better success. Our feedback was split into two sections, these were early ffedback and late feedback. Our early feedback come from by blog. This was and electronic way to see what our audience and people around us thought we should do. So from the blog i got different bits of constructive feedback from peple around us. The first bit of feedback i got was to aim our fil at a target audience between 16 and 20. This was the most popular section on the poll and this told me and my partner that these people would be most interested in watching our trailer. The next part gave us feedback on what genre movie trailer our audience thought we should make. This come back highly positive for the horror genre and again, this ffedback helped us in the selection process of what we were going to do. The last part gave us feedback on how many films our audiece watched per week. This came back as around the 2 mark. This gave us feedback that our film had to be good if it was going to be seen as they only watch 2 per week. So all of these points provided us with audiences thoughts and opinions which was construcive enough that we could make the horror trailer.
However, late feedback was also an occourance in the later and editing stages of our coursework. Examples of lat feedback is things such as teachers telling us about beneficial changes and also class mates doing the same. So during our late feedback, my teacher approached us and asked to watch our trailer, after she watched it, there was feedback that we should change our text. It was black and red and the red was blending in with the background making it quite hard to read. This was then changed due to constructive feedback to black and white which was a huge success as it was easy to read and matches the genre very well indeed. This made me learn that if the wrong text is chosen within a trailer, it can make it look messy and the audience will recognise the mistake. Our teacher also gave us feedback on the length on some of our shots within the trailer. Some were too long and the teacher reccomended that we cut them down. This also made me learn that shot lengts are vital to keep the audience engaged in the horror trailer. We did this due to us following professional feedback and I believe it was very beneficial for our trailer as it drew more attention from our audience. Besides these two points, other feedback was minor such as to get more work done etc.
The last feedback i encountered was self reflection feedback from me and my partner. From talking to eachother and getting eachothers thoughts, we learned to work well as a team and work was done at a good standard. This really helped me get the coursework done and is very beneficial in small groups.
