Production: 1st Rough cut- Audience Feedback

I decided to ask 3 people to watch and give feedback on our film to gain audience feedback to improve and make the film connect with the audience. Linking them to the genre and the conventions of a stereotypical documentary, where the audience can instantly connect with. The feed back allows us to improve our ideas and quality to link with the initial conventions. 

Charlotte- When watching the trailer Charlotte stated some of the establishing shots were shaky and changed the quality of the trailer and changes the attention of the audience from the main focus of the farmer and farming life. She also stated that the trailer needed music to make the shots flow more affectively and connect with the interest of the audience. The soundtrack is important to make the audience more involved and connected to the main focus of farming. She found the shots clear and focused and the conventions matched to farming.

Haleena- She stated that the rough cut showed clear connections relating with the location and genre. She liked how the shots connected with one another and created an importance with the trailer of main focus. However, she found the trailer without music allowed the footage to drag and allowed her to lose interest in watching as music would of allowed the shots to flow more. The trailer needs typography to connect the audience with the title and genre of the film.

Phoebe- From viewing the trailer Phoebe stated that the trailer is too long and a conventional trailer is 2:00 minutes long where as a short is up to 5:00 minutes which matches the conventions more. She stated the shots connected with the conventions of a farming documentary and follow to the story line.
