What have you learnt from your audience feedback?

I was very lucky to get such useful audience feedback. I used social media websites such as Facebook and Twitter to receive feedback. The main thing that the audience feedback taught me was that my ideas of the perfect trailer may be different to other peoples ideas, and to create an effective and professional trailer i have to take all suggestions and ideas int account and combine and develop them into something better. Examples of audience feedback which i received where general ideas about the fist draft of my trailer; after uploading the unfinished version of my trailer i received a wide variety of feedback, i found out that some of the montage and narrative scenes dragged on a bit too long and i needed to experiment with gunshot sounds. Although these may be little things i have still acted upon them and solved these problems for the better.

Using Social Network Sites I was able to get more audience research along with thoughts and opinions of those who I shared the video with.

This is the post which I put on Twitter to find out what I should change/re-arrange etc.


I think it is correct to say i relied a lot on the audience feedback primarily because i wanted this trailer to suit the needs of all genders and of course my target audience. I also decided that i would do some audience research to find out what their ideal setting for an action/gangster film would be. Firstly i gave my target audience a synopsis of the plot and what my further plans were for it I did this by sending group messages on Facebook and twitter to 'groups' and 'fan pages' of this specific genre.
