Trailer Feedback

Upon finishing our trailer, Jake and I were eager to get the word out about our trailer, as it is something we have put a lot of time and effort in to, and are very proud of it.

Facebook
On Facebook, Jake and I both posted it, on Jake's post, we got the following reactions (apologies for any profanities)



From this, it seems our friends liked it, with 19 "likes" and comments expressing their liking of it, although it was perceived as humorous to some, we believe this is due to the fact they know us in person, and due to the fact it looks quite stereotypical.

I posted it on Facebook twice, and got a total of 11 different likes, but no comments on it, but it further shows people expressing their liking for it (Including people I might not talk to anymore)

Reddit
I also went to post it on to the popular forum "Reddit", Reddit has hundreds of "Subreddits" of specific discussions, I posted the trailer in the "Teenagers" Reddit, and the response was really great.

"Chicarito:

haha brilliant

Trickboss:

Hah awesome, is the heli-crash from an iOS app?

Hylax_Big:

Dat special effect!

Interestingly_Enough:

This is really well-made. I particularly liked the ending with the bit of comedy; it made it feel like a professional trailer.
Is Media Studies a class at your school? I ask because, in my school system (US), there is a STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) academy, and I take Mass Communications there, which is basically a course of all types of media and communications. It's very interesting, and I'm glad to see someone interested in it as well!

markshire:

That was awesome

blusteryeel:

this is actually really funny

Vaetir:

Nice, And a pro tip the noise / sound you can hear from 1;00 could be overlapped by soft classical music, not much work but much professional."

As you can see, the feedback was generally positive, some asked questions, and there was some ways to improve. I felt posting on here was great because it gave us feedback from a different audience who didn't know us, which I felt removed any possible bias we were getting. The only way I feel this could have been more solid feedback was if we got it from a variety of ages groups, but all of these people are Teenagers, but I posted it specifically to them because I felt that if I posted it somewhere else, it might be misunderstood as to what it's supposed to be. Although, along with the positive feedback we once again had someone finding our trailer funny, which we would put back to the fact that it looks like quite a stereotypical trailer.

Along with the feedback we got on Reddit, there is also an upvote/downvote system in which you vote if you like what you see,

As you can see, the results were positive, with 20 upvotes, and only 2 downvotes, showing that even those that did not comment enjoyed it.

YouTube



The reaction on YouTube has also been great, with 342 views currently, with 14 likes to 1 dislike, and 3 comments. Of the 3 comments we did have another person (who we know) call it funny, and we know one of the other people who commented, but the other commenter (who called it amazing) we didn't actually know, so it's all more good feedback.

Overall, the feedback was great, we were given an area to improve (a sound issue) and lots of people have told us it was good, so we are ecstatic with the plethora of comments we received.
