Prelim feedback.

On the completion of our prelim trailer, we showed our teacher and asked her to give us some feedback, in order for us to know what we need to do to create an even better real trailer. This is what she came back with:

• The trailer looks professional and polished - good first attempt. 
• You have kept it basic and simple, focusing on the key aspects that make the trailer scary for the audience. 
• Try and remember that the fewer people you include in your trailer, the better, as this means less people to have to introduce and explain, which can be very confusing for the audience. 
• Film more while you are out filming so you have more footage to work with when it comes to editing - always shoot more footage than you need.
• Include more shots in your footage, such as extreme close ups for dramatic effect and also take the same shot several times from different angles so you can cut between them for a more professional look.  
• Include more natural sound, rather than just effects. You could have used real breathing during the running scenes in your trailer, which would have been much more effective. 

Receiving this feedback means we now know exactly what we need to do in order to improve our skills and make our horror trailer as professional as possible.
