Target audience

Recently I recorded the footage for Poezzi's first scene in the trailer in which he gives the orders for his gang members to start committing crime before it cuts to quick snippets of action in the trailer.  I planned to make the lighting low key so it would make Poezzi mysterious and intimdating but feared that it was two dark. Therefore I uploaded three different clips I recorded and asked my target audience which one they thought was the best and whether they thought it was to dark. These were the three clips I asked them to us
.


                                                                                                         

As expected I got some very good feedback from my target audience as shown here. Most of them preferd clip 2(middle one) or clip 3 (the top one)  which was what I felt the strongest clip with the top one, so therefore was pleased that the audience showed me which one they felt was best.  I was also pleased with the fact that most of them said that the low key lighting was good as it added fear and ambiguity to Poezzi which is what I am trying to create with the character in this scene as it is his first scene in the trailer so I need to get the fear and power of Poezzi through to the audience. Paige did suggest that  I could use a little bit more high key lighting which I will try and do through the editing program MoviePlus X6. However I feel that it will take away some of the mystery from Poezzi, but if it looks effective I will use it in my trailer. Overall I am happy that my target audience feels that I have got the lighting and shot type correct here as it is such a crucial part of my trailer. This leaves me in a very strong position for making the rest of my trailer.
