Feedback on my pitch

After filming my pitch I asked my audience;

Do you like this idea for a film trailer?

Yes I like this idea because it sounds very unique and different. I think this is the right idea to use for your specific target audience because they would find your idea very interesting and they would be engaged in it. I feel like the target audience would be able to get more involved with this idea as it is something they would enjoy.

What would you change about my idea?

I really like how jumpy and dramatic it sounds. I also think it sounds very professional. However, it had lack of locations. Some of my target audience found that I need to use different locations to make it even more dramatic and serious for them. If I make these changes, it would make my film idea even better

Summary Plot

Four friends live in a house together, however Rachael and Shikiel are expecting there first baby together.
  • In this first scene, the characters are all living together in the same house. They are dressed like normal young adults.
As a thoughtful gift, Twyla and Nathanael decide to buy a gift on the baby they are expecting. They go to the store and buy a pretty doll and leave it in the baby's room back at home.
  • After this scene, a lot of things start to happen in the house. Items start to go missing, so this means there must be a ghost their amongst them. 
One night, Shikiel starts to hear banging noises. He wakes up from his sleep but he thinks its a dream. He then goes back to sleep. However the banging noises starts again but it becomes louder. Rachael also wakes up. Shikiel gets out and walks out of his bedroom. He then realises the noise is coming from the baby room. 
  • In this scene, all the characters are dressed in pj's and they all look rough and tired because it is 3am in the morning. Scary sound effects will be used here to create emphasis for my audience. 
As Shikiel walks into the baby room, he notices the doll's head turn around and it starts doing an evil laugh. The doll then leaps off the floor and grabs shekel by the neck. Shikiel then begins to scream and everyone else in the house runs out there rooms. They all walk towards the baby room. As they approach it, the see blood writing on the floor which says 'Who's next?' 
  • After this scene, Shikiel is lying on the floor with a big bite into his neck and blood all over the floor. The other three characters are stood there with shock on their faces. 

Expectations of a movie trailer

I went in to Sutton Town Centre and did a 30 people survey asking what makes a good trailer. The sort of questions that were asked were 'How long should a trailer be?', 'What should be included in a trailer?' 'Should a lot about the movie be in the trailer?' Overall, I received a variety of feedback, but most people said that they prefer movie trailer to be shorter that 2 minutes because they find that most movie trailers give out way to much information than they should.
