Audience Feedback On Rough Cut

After uploading our rough cut on our blog we asked our audience for had feedback on what we can improve and, change and cut out. Our audience admired the pace of our soap trailer and the music which they thought matches well with our them. They stated that the storyline was clear, however they pointed out that the use of one actor playing two characters did not make sense. Our audience have told us they understand what's going on in the soap trailer but this has to be more specified as we don't see the badside of Kareem as much, various people have told us how we need to make this clear, irrelevant scenes need to be cut off as they're is no need for them, suggestions on different perspectives and angles of shots portraying Kareems two sides e.g Kareem putting away his prayer mat and pulling out something negative like drugs or a weapon, this will give the audience an insight of who Kareem really is by contradicting the two sides of his life. The character's dialogue in the soap trailer must be more clearer as in some of the scenes we don't get an understanding of what they're saying due to loud music. Overall the soap trailer is understandable, the music is goes perfectly with what's happening, storyline is clear but needs more detail. Our opinion is we need more effects in the soap trailer, editing needs to be tidied up along with lighting, our target is to experiment more with our editing and see the final outcome.

We decided to take this feedback out of our target audience boundaries and one of the group members Shihab Miah decided to show a family relative to see their reactions of the rough cut. Majority of feedback received were in general positive the feedback received were 'This trailer is actually quite good, i mean i would definitely watch this if this came up on TV, bearing in mind that it is a rough cut this can be made just perfect once it is finally edited'. This is the brief comment made by a family relative from an older generation from 30 - 35 this could allow us to extend out target market.
