Trailer:
Overall what I got from audience feedback along with these interviews, the questionnaires and online feedback to, that the inter titles could have been more centeral, and more movement and catching. Maybe not just standing still but needed real impact behind them to keep the flow of the trailer.
I felt this feedback was particularly satisfying as it mentioned the look of my scenes being gritty looking and this is exactly what I was going for.
I was really happy with this feedback as it commented on my use of props which I carefully thought about in the process of filming to fit conventions of my intended genre. My editing I felt could have been quicker at the end which is what this person picked up on. However I was trying to create the build up in the middle to come to a dramatic ending.
Connor also said about my magazine
“The white noise was clever it really ties in with the title of the film and the overall image you have tried to tie in throughout”. Which is exactly what I was hoping to achieve although his criticism about this was the font used on the magazine itself it didn’t particularly stand out.
Narrative and props were my strong point in this opinion however again some improvements on the inter titles could have been made if I were to re-do it.
I agree with this feedback I think my main criticism on myself was the repeat of muddle box production- I wanted to start the whole thing of calm to then go into the conventional writing and a more impacting sound. Yet I could of just gone straight in and It would or probably been more effective.
Poster I am glad that the distortion worked for my audience as this is what I wanted to create throughout.
Magazine- similar to the audience feedback before the text issue I think making it more clear would of fitted better with the conventions of Little white lies but against the noise background it was hard to find something that would distract the focus away from the image.

"overall very powerful and evocative, with technical code used effectively, possible the inclusion of a voice over may make it slightly more attention grabbing, and although intrigues the audience does not give a lot about the narrative of the film away"

Through my research there were other times where initial feedback and other things helped me with production. I always tried to refer back to what the audience wanted and any improvements they had.
Previous blog posts such as the audience questionnaire and http://aimee-a2mediablog.blogspot.com/2011/04/audience-initial-feedback.html were just some aspects of feedback that carried me through production.
