Feedback from Peers
After a class session of watching and reviewing all the other group's pieces, we received useful feedback on the strengths and weaknesses of our trailer, website and poster. We received the most praise for our typography/animation and soundtrack, as well as the glitching effects we used throughout the trailer. On the website, people liked the neon red theme and the background image used, and on the poster the split image we used was received well.
However, there were a few improvements that needed to be made. In the trailer, some of the sound was slightly off of the titles which caused a slight delay. Another criticism was that some of the longer titles were not on screen long enough to be read. Regarding the website, people said that the video thumbnail needed to be changed as the current one was quite dark and could not be seen well against the background. The critical reviews were also too small to read, and we had forgotten to include working hyperlinks. Finally, the only improvement to be made on the poster was to darken the '15' age rating as it was very bright in comparison to the rest of the poster.
As a group, we delegated these tasks amongst us. I needed to make the titles longer and ensure the sound was playing at the right time. I did this by elongating the sound effects so they fit across the whole title, and by inserting more of the title clips. As I made these on Photoshop to be roughly 5 frames long, I just needed to add more instead of elongating it in any way. I set them for different amounts of time depending on how long the title is, for example 'Turn Back' takes less time to read than the longer titles at the start.
