During class we screened a draft version (near completed) of our teaser trailer, and sent around forms with various different questions. We received extremely positive feedback with little negative points. One of the main problems we found with our trailer was the fact that they didn't know what the left over Nazi war experiment was doing in a 1960's detached house. In a way it proves our trailer worked, as the audience are curious, with a need to watch more.
With the lack of negative feedback, we decided to see what the stronger points were, then focus on things without the initial "wow factor". This way we bolstered the trailers overall professionalism as the consistency of good cinematography was more apparent. Music and sound were two things that lacked in the trailer, so improving the music and the samplings was a priority. We started by listening to various other trailers, and how we could replicate their music and the effect it had. We found that single tone tunes that escalated with faster and faster shots was a good way of syncing the music to the visual side of the trailer. Music that fits is a very important feature, as the wrong music can be disastrous, as it conveys the wrong message about the film.
