Reactions to my first draft
Here is a printscreen from my youtube page with reactions from people who have viewed the first draft of my trailer. Most of the responses offered some valuble contributions like constuctive criticism that can help me further improve my work. And other people praised some aspects that they liked from the trailer, which hopefully I will keep the same.
"supercaba" said that they enjoyed the way there was a constant use of cuts, but most importantly they said that I used them approprietly. This is interesting because I took the risk of using a stuttering effect which meant blending establishing shots with quick cuts of the creepers victim. And its good to see that people like it. Moreover they said that the music used was perfect. I happy to hear this because when editing the trailer is was important to have a slow and mellow music in the beginning, but as soon as the trailers main scenes begin to kick into action I wanted the 2nd piece of music to be piercing and jarring.
The second valuble response was made by "hamsandwich" . She reiterated "supercaba" point on the music. As they both enjoyed the slow and tense build up that the piano music was able to create. However they did't like the pink colour pallete that was used primarily in the establishing shot at the beginning of the trailer. They argued that it should be a much more profound and suggested using a darker colour like red. This was a intresting idea because using red as the dominant colour in the trailer will mix well with the font colour of the superimposes which are all red. They enjoyed the use of cuts/jump cuts as it had a strong and powerful effect. However they did identify some continuality errors. Like some shots having a different colour pallete to others.
