Feedback for my trailer...

Some feedback i got from my trailer:
Criticisms/Changes:
Firstly i got told i could have a opening shot that's more relevant to my trailer. It was a good shot (A tracking shot of some woods) but needed more relevance to the beginning of my trailer. It's relevant in the way that's where the murderer killed some of his victims which is in the trailer. However a shot that links nicely to the beginning of the trailer (the romantic part) would flow nicer. CHANGE- I am going to change the shot completely and change it to something like a panning shot of the big house there in at the beginning.
Another criticism was to cut the shots down more to make it flow faster although i had not finished cutting the shots down properly yet anyway. CHANGE- I have since then cut all the shots down as much as possible which makes the speed faster. I have also quickened up some of the shots to make the whole of the trailer have a faster tempo and increase the tension.
The other criticism i got was that it needed to be made more clear that the man at the beginning of the trailer who is falling in love with the woman is also the same man who is murdering all the other woman in the second half of the trailer. CHANGE- To get over this problem I'm going to just add in a couple of short second long shots of the mans face in the second half to show it is the same man.
Also another criticism that links into the one above is that the people watching were not sure weather the second half is showing the murderers past or weather he is still doing these killings now, even though he's falling in love. CHANGE- To help the audience understand the narrative slightly better, which is that the murderers still killing women even though he's now met someone, is that iv just moved one of the clips from the beginning, romantic part of the murderer and woman and put it in between the shots of the killings to show its happening around the same time.
Also when people watched it, it didn't have any of the background music on so obviously that needed to be added.
The bits people liked:

  • People liked the general idea of my trailer because it was unusual but still it worked well. The mixing of a romantic with a thriller.
  • They really liked the quick, flashing images in the second half.
  • Wide range of camera angles were used.
  • All the shots were clear and flowed nicely.
  • The texts were good and explained things nicely also the transitions between them all made it flow well and there were effective.
