What have you learned from your audience feedback?

The audience feedback we received after our first viewing with initial clips and a different take we had on the romantic comedy genre went down well but wasn’t liked by all. So we changed the way it was narrated with the main character had scenes where the main character was the centre of attention throughout the trailer and received a better public opinion.

After our first screening we realised that doing something different that could still be done well was working. However realised that some scenes weren’t working people understood it was a coming of age story based in a school but didn’t understand who was the love interest if the friends were good or bad and what was going to happen through out the film.

We decided to change the narration from the friends telling the flaws around the girl and her say it herself, this showed it was the girl who thought she was imperfect and trying to win the guy by changing and meeting what she thinks his expectations are. We also changed shots that showed her being awkward in public places for humour to her changing her ways and being in funny situations, this brings humour to the audience because of her feeling the need to change her ways and appear in these funny scenarios. We also created a reality and fantasy scene which we had trouble with but the audience thought would be a good idea and backed me up which worked well even if it was the hardest bit of the whole trailer.
