Research and planning- How we can improve our trailer based on our audience feedback

A few days ago we got some audience feedback from the roughcut of our trailer. Based on this feedback we are going to improve our trailer by:

• Doing some research on YouTube on what kinds of fonts existing thriller trailers use for their titles and get some ideas from these for our own teaser trailer
• Use the costumes and props list to get together and go out any buy the appropiate costumes including the black and white contrast clothing inspired Tsotsi (2005)
• Having another discussion about when we are both free and what locations will be best to get to during the christmas holidays so we can do begin the proper filming for our teaser trailer.
• Add more scenes or editing transitions in order to make the narrative of our trailer slighty clear. However we are not looking to make the narrative crystal clear because the story and kind of film it is is not very clear to begin with and has lots of ambiguity in it and we want to get across this message through our teaser trailer. Also to improve our trailer we will look into incorprating some of the editing features seen in Memento (2000)
• Film a lot more footage especially for the middle and end of the trailer as we currently have no footage for this.
• Decide on definite time during the day and night where we can meet up and film both daylight and night time scenes.
• Put more thought into the types of lighting used for each of our scenes so we are then able to deliver messages through the lighting (mise-en-scene)
• Add the BBFC certificate for our film near the beginning of the trailer.
