Audience Response 5

I interviewed Heather Leech, a drama teacher at William Parker.

What did you think of the black and white effect on our trailer?
It was spooky, making the trailer have a dark mood.

What did you like about the trailer?
Having to piece together what was happening- it wasn’t too obvious.

If you saw this trailer in the cinema, would you want to see it? If so, why?
Because it aroused my interest, I like trailers that leave the audience wanting to know more.

Did you have a favourite moment?
The silhouette of the man on the hill – it looked like the Wicker man which I associated with made things about to happen. I also liked the faces in the brick hut looking up and around as it gave a sense of danger. The smoke blowing towards the camera was also a strong image.

Was there an obvious storyline? Did you understand it?
I understood that a group of young people were in the countryside, some were hiding possibly but definitely smoking in a shed out of the way. Unknown is a sense of threat that is around them and this is what will make me want to know what happens.

Was the genre of the film obvious?
Horror – is this correct?

Audience Response 4

I interviewed Chris Georgiou of William Parker Sports College, studying Drama, Media Studies, I.T and P.E

What did you think of the black and white effect on our trailer?
I really thought it gave the trailer an eerie sense, I think it was shown by the way some scenes looked dark and if it was sense at night. Rather then making it look like an old black and white film.


What did you like about the trailer?
Really good, the music and pace of the shots went really well together.

If you saw this trailer in the cinema, would you want to see it? If so, why?

At the beginning when there all in the car going to this remote location.

I interviewed Daniel Regelous, a Drama, History, Media and Art student in year 13.

What did you think of the black and white effect on our trailer?
Was very effective and built the mood of the trailer up also cemented in my mind the idea of horror.

What did you like about the trailer?
I liked the music it went well with the black and white effect and the jumpy camera shots.

If you saw this trailer in the cinema, would you want to see it? If so, why?
I would want to see it but I’m unsure if I would to the cinema to see it of if I would watch it on DVD

Did you have a favourite moment? The circle of people as the camera spins round.


Was there an obvious storyline? Did you understand it? Is it some kids go into the Firehills and re murdered?

What did you think of the black and white effect on our trailer?
Was really effective, gave a sense that things were not as they seemed.


What did you like about the trailer?
The music that accompanied the trailer was highly appropriate. The fast pace of the music built suspense and gave the feeling that something was going to happen to the group of students.

If you saw this trailer in the cinema, would you want to see it? If so, why?
Yes, would like to know the significance of the man on the hill. Also, I would want to find out the end result and what happened in the brick building.


Did you have a favourite moment?
The close up on the truck and man on the hill – hint that something is not right on the country park.

That something was going to happen to the group of students, related to the man and the brick building.
