What have you learned from your audeince feedback?
I agree that we could of given more indication as to the story line so audiences understood the films for but on the other hand we did feel it would be effective not giving much away as so often in trailer today they reveal the entire film in the trailer. There is a risk by doing this as it is likely that people wont connect to the story as it isn't clear enough. We could of tried to leave in some of the dialogue giving the film a greater narrative.
I agree that we followed conventions of a horror/zombie film as we did make an effort to research this genre in order to get it right. The make up is probably where we most successfully conformed to our genre as Abbie put a lot of effort into making it look realistic and professional.
The camera work at the end due to the photography lighting being used was the most successful camera work in the trailer I agree, other than that most our filming was done outside making it difficult for us to control the lighting as we didn't have those kind of resources. The shot where we circled around Shanie we were happy with as we sped it up to make it resemble footage in films like kick ass where its very fast pace. We chose not to use a tripod which is something looking back I would reconsider as when comparing finale productions the ones that look professional are the ones that used tripods.
We used a numerous amount of shots to exaggerate the pace of the trailer making it more dramatic for the finale footage of Abbie at the end. Although putting the production credits at the start was suggested to make it more conventional I feel we conformed in so many areas of our trailer that it wasn't essential that we re arranged it.
