The Making of a Movie Trailer

Testing and Feedback

Testing and Feedback

Once a movie trailer has been put together, it's important to test it out and get feedback from people. This can help identify any potential issues with the trailer and determine whether it's effective in capturing the attention of the intended audience.

Testing

There are a few different ways to test a movie trailer. One of the most common methods is to conduct a focus group, where a small group of people are shown the trailer and then asked to give their feedback. This can be done in person or online, and the feedback can be collected through surveys or interviews.

Another way to test a trailer is to release it online and monitor the response. This can be done through social media or other online platforms, and can help determine whether the trailer is generating buzz and interest among the target audience.

Feedback

Once the trailer has been tested, it's important to gather feedback from those who watched it. This feedback can be used to identify any issues with the trailer and make improvements before it's released to the public.

Some common questions to ask when receiving feedback include:

  • What did you like about the trailer?
  • What didn't you like about the trailer?
  • Was the trailer effective in capturing your attention?
  • Did the trailer accurately represent the tone and content of the movie?

Example

For example, let's say a movie studio has put together a trailer for an upcoming romantic comedy. They conduct a focus group of 10 people, who all watch the trailer and then give their feedback. The studio collects the feedback and notices that several people thought the trailer was too long and didn't accurately capture the tone of the movie. Based on this feedback, the studio decides to make some changes to the trailer, shortening it and adjusting the tone to better match the movie.
