These are the results of the questionnaire that we constructed before filming. This is extremely useful for us as we want to know what our audience like best in action genre film trailer. All of these questions give us an idea of how to construct our trailer in sync with the music, effects etc. Basically we want to make our audience have the choice of what they want in our trailer as they are who are going to watch it. For question 1, the outright top answer was for the trailer to make the audience want to watch more. We will therefore attempt to add scenes in which the audience will be left on a cliffhanger, wanting to find out what happens next. In question 2, the top answer for the music to be incorporated slowly. We were quite surprised by this, but this has giving us a lot to consider as we attempt to use the right music at the right pace in order to create the right atmosphere for the trailer. For question 3, our audience felt that we should use elements from other genres in order to improve the trailer. We are now going to look at other genres and see if it works well within the 1980s police era that we want to create. For question 4 we knew from the start that we would end the trailer with an explosion, a common dramatic effect used in existing action film genres, which we felt would be the perfect ending to our trailer. However, we have given these options to see what we could end our trailer with. The majority felt that it should suddendly stop in order to make the audience think of their own ideas of what is to happen. We will now look at the scene list and decide how and if we should incorporate this. For Question 5, our audience felt is was important to add effects to our piece, but not THE most important. This was exactly our thinking as we wanted to make sure over the effects that the camera angles and storyline were good, and that the effects were an effective added bonus. Our audience also felt that film titles should be added to the end of the trailer. This was interested for us as we had ideas of slowly intergrating them throughout, but when we complete our trailer, we will decide which is best. Overall, the questionnaire that we sent out was extremely useful as it makes the audience feel like they have an impact on our trailer; and we want that to happen as we want them to enjoy our trailer.
