Question 3 Audience Feedback, Analysis of rough cut

A2 Media Coursework - The Edge from Natalie Dunworth on Vimeo.

There were a few sound issues at the start of the trailer, a hiss was constant in the background. I removed the hiss by taking the pitch down and altering the sound levels to silence when there was no dialogue being heard.

The suggestion of Title cards was given to break up the storylines and introduce the meaning of the song, therefore I added title cards at the beginning to create the idea of a flashforward and took the lyrics of 'one more step' and 'regret' to give a heavier impression of the storylines that featured. These title cards also helped me to introduce the E4 Branding to the trailer.

The audience also felt that the beginning of the trailer introduced the storylines too quickly and they got jumbled leaving the audience confused and lacking the connection that was made to the characters and their situations. I focused the attention on the main storyline to start the trailer and used sub plots to break the main plot sequence.

The jumbled suquencing limited the audience to feel for any of the characters and get deeply involved in the storlines. I needed to ensure that my representations were correct so that the audience demographic i created my trailer for would understand and be grasped by the trailer.
