Eighteen people completed my online poll - ten male and eight female - meaning that the spread between genders was relatively equal. This is what we hoped for as our trailer is aimed at both genders and so it is important that we obtain feedback from both. The vast majority of the people that answered the questionnaire were aged 16yrs - 19yrs, which means that the feedback we gathered was relevat, as our production work is targetted at 16-25 year olds.
One of the questions we asked was in regards to the location our trailer should be filmed in. The majority selected the 'Forest' option, which is the location that we were planning to use and so this result re-confirmed our decision.
The results of the next question showed the majority vote as wanting the sound/music of the trailer to be a combination of fast and slow tempo sections. This also supported out initial plans for the trailer.
I then asked whether the trailer should contain dialogue and the votes were spread between all three options - yes, no, no preference. We took this into consideration and decided we would add a very small amount of dialogue (only where it was really necessary) and very little diegetic sound.
The next question was about the use of captions in a trailer and whether people find them beneficial. Most answered yes or sometimes, with very few answering no, and so we decided that we would include captions. Personally, I think that they can be useful when trying to 'get across' the storyline of a movie, and can be extremely effective at drawing the audience in.
Finally, the last question was in regards to the title of our film magazine. The title, 'The Cut', recieved 55% of the votes and so we decided that this should be the one that we use. I was very pleased with this result as 'The Cut' was the title that I was most found of as it is blunt, to the point, and relates to both film as a whole and our actual trailer.
