Preliminary Task

This is our preliminary shoot where we shot a short clip to represent the genre out trailer will be, as a group we planned out what we wanted to shoot and what roles we took for the task, filming was spread between me and Nathan Pugh and Nathan Plummer was in charge of sorting out the props we would use. Below is the feedback we received from our focus group:

"The shot of the seagull gave an eerie feel. Also, I think the last shot was very effective because it makes him look larger and more powerful."
"I think the strongest shot was the one taken from ground level, I think it is the most effective because not only does it show him stepping over the camera, it's also quite unexpected, it also shows off the background so that we realize how bleak and deserted it is."
"I thought that the film clip was an introduction to a nature program because of the scenic shot of the animals. I didn't see the gas mask on the face, so therefor didn't understand what it was about." 
"The scenes were very effective and supported by the music, however, the person walking along very merrily and did not reflect a serious tone."
"The contrast between filming the animals juxtapose with the main character walking through the empty street. The poster shown on the fence gave clear context as to was going on. It loosely resembled the film '28 days later'." 

The feed back was very helpful in allowing us to understand what people thought of the style of our trailer. The feedback will be very helpful when filming and editing the trailer as when know what aspects we need to improve and what we need to keep the same.
