Throughout our production, we had lots of important decisions to make regarding the editing of the teaser trailer. The largest decision that we had to make involved the final shot where Agent Morris and his operative are talking on the bridge. The footage is meant to represent a villain watching the two agents, which is why they suspiciously look over towards the camera (villain). After including this shot we didn't know whether or not the audience would understand what is happening. In order to know what others thought of this, we conducted some audience feedback.
The feedback we receieved was suprisingly positive. We initially thought that a lot of the audience would just think it was a shot that wasn't held steady, but this wasn't the case. A large majority of the audience stated that they thought it was surveillence, and because the government are the villains, they could be watching the Agents via the surveillence cameras. This is what we wanted to achieve and get people to understand that it was a shot that showed Agent Morris being watched.
The other large decision that we needed to make regarding this piece of footage was the sound. A small amount of people did ask why the wind sound was left in. We believe that this represents an authentic CCTV/surveillance camera, and it shows why the camera is not completely steady. The vast majority of the audience understood this. We were very happy with the positive feedback on this shot, and glad that it is understood by our audience.
