Storyboard Analysis

Before we started the production of our trailer was to create a storyboard to use as a guideline so that we could build from something and generate better ideas whilst going along. This really helped because we had a basis to go with and then we just had to either improve the ideas or change them.

AUDIENCE FEEDBACK QUESTIONNAIRE RESULTS

From these results I can gather that we have achieved what we wanted the audience to feel from the orchestral music which was non-diegetic sound which evidently caused the majority of the audience to feel tense and scared which conveys that they recognised it was the horror genre.



This graph illustrates that the setting we used we perfect for the horror genre as it followed typical codes and conventions of real life horror trailers for example; violent attacks on the main protagonists, low key lighting and it created a spooky isolated atmosphere.
The statistical data illustrates that the preponderance of people felt that the plot was revealed enough this was challenging because we had to follow Todorov's theory which is the idea of a linear narrative which consisted of beginning with an equilibrium then the disturbance of the equilibrium finishing with a cliff-hanger, leaving the audience wanting to know what happens next usually using an enigma code which supports Roland Barthes' theory of semiotics, in our trailer that was our main protagonist struggling to get into the car and the camera getting closer to his face which leaves the audience wondering what is going to happen to him.
