Survey Results

I have sent out a survey to ask the questions for my research. The results i got gave me a help in what I will be filming for my trailer. One of the questions i asked was what is the last trailer people had watched. The next question was asking what appeals to the viewer when watching a trailer. A lot of people had been watching the trailer for the latest X-Men film but when asked what appeals to the them as a viewer most people said it come down to the storyline shown in the trailer. So this puzzled me a bit it. I think if i was going to do more research into this I would select a variety of trailers and film peoples reactions to see what they think about each trailer. This way I am engaging with my audience and when it comes to actually showing them my trailer I can get feedback on the trailer. When it comes to doing work for third year it will be an area that i would seriously considering doing for my artefacts and in terms of my blog work i can show this.

As people had said they like a good storyline I'm glad i asked the question can a trailer show too much. From the responses that i got a lot of people felt that a trailer can ruin a movie for people. Straight away this made me think about my original idea for my trailer where I was going to have a lot more shots and storyline in the trailer. Instead now I will be making a small viral video which will give nothing away from the plot  because one thing I want to do is engage people with the trailer. The idea would be to show the small trailer and get a buzz and feel for the film. Then going on to doing a longer trailer which show a bit more but still leaving the audience guessing as to what the movie will be about.

A lot of people had said music is important for a trailer. In my original ideas i was planning on playing "Who Are You" by the Who. But because i'm leaving this trailer as a mystery i have changed this to make it something random.

I'm Hoping to share my video on social network and get people to share as a word of mouth thing
