Some of the feedback that we got from our Teaser Trailer was that they didn't understand why the dog was in the film, we however justified this by saying that the Dog was to show the audience that the Victims were in their own house, which reinforces that it could happen to anyone in the own home. This is a reference to the film The Strangers, as the Victims in this film are in their own house when they are attacked.
Some feedback which we received from a Social Networking site was:
"Its really good guys well done :) just one thing is that the trailer doesn't really tell you anything about the film like any plot or anything its all very vague?"
My response to this is that the whole idea of our teaser trailer was to be ambiguous and to confuse the audience and this comment proves it!
Some more feedback we received was: 'I like the bit with the writing, where it looks like she is erasing it. I thought it was really effective as it could show the character is trying to erase her actions. I also liked the contrast between the Black and White colour scenes and the Coloured scenes.'
The only trailers that I know which are similar to ours are the Strangers, with it happening in their own house and Scream, because of the masks and the Black and white footage.
Some of the Strengths of our Trailer are:
- It confuses the audience, as it is a non-linear narrative. We start with the end of the trailer and end with the end too.
- It is very ambiguous
- The speed of the editing to make the shots quicker so the audience are left feeling a bit confused and also intrigued
- The intertitles are very effective. We have a few which very quickly flash on and off of the screen and then they fade on again in case the audience didn't read them the first time.
- The Production company scene is really loud and cuts into the piano music of our Trailer. If I were to edit this I would make the Production company scene silent so you just heard the Piano music.
