Research into target audience: Pitch Feedback

In a previous post I uploaded my pitch idea for my film trailer. This pitch was shown in front of my peers and I was given feedback to them. My peers also asked me questions as feedback so I am going to be answering those questions in this blog post. First of all, just from my pitch, everyone got that my film genre is horror/thriller and the plot is a revenge plot.

Feedback

• "The idea of the grandfather working in a clock shop seems complicated, where is the location?" =  This is quite a valid point, there is no where I could potentially use as a clock shop location so I am thinking that I might not use this as a part of the plot line. However I do want clocks to be an important prop so I can use the clocking noise as a build up in the background. 
• "Does the boy go after all the killers?" = Yes, my main character is going to go after all the killers throughout the whole film but there is only going to be a couple in the film trailer that actually g
• "Is there any music/sound?" = Yes. There is going to be some narrative of the characters and throughout the whole clip in the background I am going to use a ticking clock that gets louder and louder until the last clip where the alarm clock goes off signalling a murder 
• "How does he know who killed his grandfather?" = Basically the main character knows a group of teenagers who have been causing trouble lately and the murder is a robbery gone wrong. The group try to hide the evidence that it was them but dont do it very well.
• "Show a bit more of who the villians are and why they killed the grandfather?" = I might use flashbacks to show the killers.
• "I like the setting but where else is it set?" = The castle at the lickey hills would be a good place to set one of the murders 
• "Missing some context at the start" = at the start of my trailer I might do a flashback or something to show how much the main character cared for his grandfather and something about the murder so the audience have some ideas about what the film trailer is about and hwy he is trying to get revenge
• "How will the murders be shown and will there be blood" = I havent decided yet how we are going to execute the murders but the dead bodies will be seen and there may be a small amount of fake blood used I think
