Main points of feedback (about the movie trailer)
+ Positives
1. Make-up style, background music and camera shots are quite good.
2. They could recognize the mise-en-scenes.
3. They liked props, especially organs.
4. They also liked ‘eating scene’ which is the best scene that I am thinking of.
-Negatives
1. It is a good job but it is a quite easy job.
2. They want my title looks creepy.
3. Serena said, she could have made it in a month.
4. When I got into the team, Lyn had already known my project well.
5. Elaine said, I would be able to improve it with many type of camera shot.
6. In blood dropping scene, the blood does not seem like real.
Integration Methodology
1. Make the positives impactive
I have already got the most liked ‘eating scene’ and also my interviewees like variable camera shot. And Lyn recommended that I better use ‘montage’ for some scenes.
I agree with her. It would make audiences feel the characters feelings and thoughts.
All interviewees are in common. It is they like background music.
Fortunately, I have found amazing creepy sound effects by now.
It will be so helpful for making audiences scared.
With those several things, I am going to make positives shiny and make it impactive efficiently
2. Cover up the negatives if it cannot be turned to positives.
My title was dull and nothing matched to the project. It was not even close to it.
So I changed it to bloody letters. However, I think it is not good enough.
That’s why I am learning some Premiere skills.
Interviewees said, the blood does not seem like real.
I have been training how to make mosaic properly. And unfortunately I had to give the camera back to the owner…
Anyway I am not and won’t be able to record again. So that reason, I have to depend on Premiere skills.
Negatives NO.4, no offence, it could be a chance to me. If I make Lyn scared and she get some message from my movie, it must work to the audiences.
3. There is one thing more.
When the interviewees were watching my movie, they told me, they could not get an idea from my movie. So I had to explain to them. It is not a full movie, this is a trailer. It is not telling the whole story. It is for provoking target audiences’ curiosities.
With that circumstance, I obviously had to explain about what they’d needed to know.
Means in the full movie, maybe someone can get whole thing, but others not.
Therefore, I decided I would put some scrolling up title about the short introduction at the beginning of the movie.
I hope that please do not under-estimate the movie with this trailer.
I have changed a lot and there will be more and more.
