The feedback we received from our planning presentation looked at our media class’ views giving strengths, limitations, how representative will the product be to the genre and whether or not the product will meet the expectations of the audience.
The general strengths we received were; that we considered how we would create our product and having acknowledged the right limitations that would affect our product, “gender representations have been thought well,” and that we had a good plot. I think that our trailer will be more achievable because of these factors; it will be simple to film however we will still challenge our skills when doing so as we will be going into more depth that we did in AS level.
The feedback we received about how effective will the product be in meet expectations of the identified audience were; that “the audience would be able to relate to the main character as the audience would be around the same age,” “the narrative is modern which will connect to the audience better” and “the content will be hard hitting and talking social realist issues.” I agree that the plot will be good for our audience as they are at a younger age and they will be able to expect what happens due to their own experiences and understanding.
The feedback we got from our class on how representative the media product is to the genre was; “it is representative as the characters are relatable and it is a believable storyline,” “has violence and terror for the genre” and “enigma is created well by the storyline”. This shows that we our plot and characters are going to be well represented in the trailer.
More importantly the feedback we got on possible limitations were; “Needs more research into audience demographics and archetypes” I understand that we may need some more information on our targeted audience for the trailer, so we can get a better understanding on how we can represent the trailer.
Another limitation that we received was that it lacks on the background narrative. In the presentation we gave we didn’t show our draft storyboard to the class that shows a flashback scene when the girl is shown being abused (not physically, but it is implied) so this overcomes that limitation.
One imitation suggests that we give away too much of the narrative in the trailer. I do agree with this in some way, as the trailer does give information in what happens. It would probably more effective if we made the cuts in the trailer more choppy as some of the scenes we have are in depth (like the scene when the girl is being watched from a high view point) it may be better if we make this scene shorter. We do have a cliff-hanger at the end with the phone ringing, so I we do have that cliff hanger at the end, it is just building the suspense better through the trailer.
The other limitations we received were ones we have acknowledged ourselves in the S.W.O.T analysis for example weather, time and distance from the college which will be difficult to overcome. However one we acknowledged was the quality of the actors, I believe that if we find actors that are more enthusiastic about being in the trailer they will give a better quality of acting, than if we got someone that wasn’t interested in being involved.
