Criticisms

We asked a number of different people to view our teaser trailer. A main criticism was that the pace of our trailer didn’t match the genre we wanted to make; it was too slow for a film of the horror genre. We used these criticisms to improve our work, inserting more scenes and using a lot more cuts. People liked the music we composed to go with our trailer but they felt that it ended abruptly instead of fading out. It was also mentioned that we should include the sound of a heart beat monitor to help improve the tone of the film. After looking for some time we finally found one that worked with our film and solved the other problem of the soundtrack ending suddenly; by fading the soundtrack into the sound effect and then letting the sound effect fade into the diegetic sound which follows after the title logo.
The title font was also criticised. Instead of using the boring default title fonts available on Imovie9 the group came up with a design and using Paintshop, a photo editing software. We then imported our custom design into the trailer.
