Indie Film Trailer Test

Challenge

An independent filmmaker was preparing to release a thriller trailer but was uncertain if the suspense and pacing would hook viewers effectively. Initial screenings had suggested that some viewers felt the suspense built too slowly, which risked losing their attention.

Solution

The filmmaker used our Short Film and Trailer Feedback service to test the trailer with a group of suspense-thriller enthusiasts aged 18-40. Feedback revealed that viewers were intrigued by the plot but recommended shortening the setup to get to the action faster. Many noted that the suspense would feel stronger if introduced within the first few scenes.

Result

The filmmaker edited the trailer, trimming the introductory scenes to create a faster buildup. The updated trailer saw a 60% increase in viewer engagement in test screenings and received praise for its heightened suspense, contributing to a successful film festival release.

Streaming Platform Series Launch

Challenge

A streaming platform was preparing to launch a new thriller series and needed to ensure the trailer created excitement without revealing too much. They wanted the trailer to hint at major plot twists while leaving viewers eager to watch the full series.

Solution

Through our Short Film and Trailer Feedback service, the platform tested the trailer with a sample group matching their target audience. Feedback indicated that viewers enjoyed the fast-paced editing and were intrigued by the mystery but felt one scene revealed a critical plot twist too early.

Result

The streaming platform re-edited the trailer, removing the spoiler and adding a scene that raised more questions. The revised trailer generated more buzz, leading to a 20% increase in viewership during the premiere week and setting the stage for a successful series launch.
