Feedback - Part of Evaluation

For Forest Massacre we wanted to get audience feedback to see what the reaction would be to the trailer, therefore exclusively we shown small groups our trailer whilst giving them a sheet between groups of 4. Before we shown them our trailer we delivered a small synopsis and then once they watched the trailer we had no communication with them whilst they completed the set questions we gave them.
The questions where:
In what ways does my trailer remind  you  of  other trailers?
What do you think my strengths of this trailer are?
What do you think the weaknesses are?
We where happy to accept  both positive and  negative criticism as in fact there was no such thing as negative feedback as it was constructive to us therefore  we could act upon it if we had more time to do so and make the trailer  better or know for further productions what to do differently.
Some feedback we got was that  we gave too much of the  story away - we accept this feedback however this would seem to be a matter of personal opinion as no one else put this comment down - this  could be  due to age as from research we have seen that the younger generation prefer less story line more action although the older generation would prefer the opposite to this. Other feedback we got back was on our strengths via soundtrack - "It was scary and made  us jump" - we choose this for the purpose of adding tension this was another comment made. It stuck with the conventions of the horror genre this is why we used it as well.
Below are the  feedback sheets we have got small groups to fill out after watching our trailer.





Another method of gaining feedback for future products is  using the social media other known as Facebook and twitter, we also posted he trailer on YouTube where we  granted the ability too like dislike and also comment. This is a print screen of this information and it  shows comment s on the forest massacre trailer.
