Video feedback questionnaires

As a classed we watched each individual video project and filled out questionnaires, giving feedback on what we though of the videos. these answers Below is an overall evaluation of peoples answers to our questions







































1) Do you think the product is typical of film trailers? if so in9 what ways is it similar?
The results i received from the audience all described similar aspects. from what results i have collected i can conclude mine and my group's video trailer was of typical standard. We used many shots that established a location and the main protagonist. A typical of teaser trailers, the sequence was of adequate length, between 60 to 90 seconds long. A comment from the audience backed up the idea that our teaser trailer is typical as it gives us information and viewing pleasure through the use of quick shots, jump cuts and fast paced editing but just leaves out enough to raise enigmas. this leaves the audience wondering just who the 'Lone Wolfe' really is. A comment was left about the beginning of the film where we included a Paramount logo, commented as being a good touch.

2) Does anything make it different or does it stand out from the typical? how?
feedback on this question told our group that the snow added to the fantasy element. we were told that this was quite creative as well as the use of the dance studio for our martial arts scene, giving the video a different atmosphere. however criticism was also given. We were told that we did not need all the special effects although the shine on the sword was effective. some people were indifferent, believing that it did not vary from a typical trailer. The shot of the main protagonist was commented on as being different, giving something new and interesting to the audience. however the audience has its limits. one comment added a biased opinion to the feedback. This person did not have much to say because fantasy was not their type of genre and they had not watched many fantasy films. it was also commented that it was different as we did not included a voice over which it typically used in teaser trailers.

3)does it work? why?
feedback on this question told my group that our filming techniques and shots made our trailer effective. many people noted that it made them want to keep watching and that the soundtrack was very powerful. the use of shots also created enigmas, typical of a teaser trailer. we have been told that we followed the conventions, the elements that people come to expect from the fantasy genre.

4) Name two interesting elements from the video.
Elements commented on consisted of the following:

• Soundtrack creating a good atmosphere.
  
• performance of protagonist.
• shine effect on sword
• martial arts skills
• snowy scenes

5)could this product be stronger?
As of typical teaser trailers, a date for release usually comes at the end of the video. We did not have this so it produced criticism. some people believed we should have had a martial arts fight instead of just a training scene. a comment suggested we should have a wider variation of locations for our shots.

6)Do you think the pace of the video is typical of this kind of product?
comments came back. Feedback told us that the pace was very good, also saying that the music pace fit very well with the action. there was one or two comments that suggested to us that we could have made the pace of the trailer that little bit faster.
