When collecting audience feedback we asked participants within our age range of 15- 30 but mainly 16-17 year olds as they would have found our trailer more relatable as our actors and storyline was based more closely to them. I found that with our feedback people were either very brief of detailed with their answers. The answers with more detail we found more helpful as they were more specific into what we could improve. Answers that were more brief had answers like “the editing” as improvement which we didn’t find helpful. If I was to recollect audience feedback I would have asked an online audience, as anonymous comments may have been more brutally honest which would have been even more helpful. We also would have got a wider spectrum of an audience, and more people within our age range.
