From audience feedback I have learnt that music and special effects played a huge part in my trailer as at first I presented my trailer without music and effects to my audience and got satisfactory comments and after adding music and special effects I could instantly notice my audience becoming not just engaged with what was going on in my trailer but excited with the fast pace of the music and the tension building up in the disequilibrium followed by the period of disequilibrium. I decided to thoroughly focus the representation of my trailer on Tzvetan Todorov's conventional narrative structure. I also tried illustrating a lot of emotions through close - up of my actors as I felt it'd make it easier for the audience to understand what was going on but not just that it would also allow them to feel empathetic of the vulnerable victim aswell as create a sense of realism as the audience would bear in mind that the horrific scenes took place in the comfort of the victim's home, therefore it gives the audience a chance to relate to this and create that blood curdling effect.
I have learnt that overall my trailer fits the horror genre convention with the set up of mise-en-scene which helps transmit the right messages to the audience making it obvious that it is a horror trailer also I learnt that short sharp scenes with razor blade cuts are much more effective than dragging one scene for more than 10 secs as it questions the spectators mind on who the villain is and exactly what is going on. In addition I discovered producing a trailer is the same as narrating a short story the only difference is that you use none or limited dialogue and feature a key sequence of scenes that take place in the trailer. I decided to create a story board before producing my trailer and it helped me plan ahead and become more organised as I knew exactly what I wanted and where I wanted it rather than having to waste time separating,editing and deleting a shambolic mess of raw footage.
