This is the final cut of our trailer as of 17/02/17. All of the errors I described in my last post have now been fixed: all audio tracks were separated and put on their own tracks, colour-coded accordingly so we could easily tell which clips were the voice-over etc. This also meant we could fix the volume problem where some soundtrack samples were louder than others, as now we could have a volume set for the entire track without it affecting any others. We fixed the overlap problem where a part of one of the character's lines was repeated in a cut by cutting out the audio for it and replacing the gap it caused with a section of the previous clip where there was no dialogue, so the cut we'd made wasn't noticeable. Alternatively, we could have cut out part of the whole video clip but we thought this would affect the synchronisation of the soundtrack, so we avoided changing the lengths of clips.
Finally, we had a similar overlap problem in the bloody hand shot. We tried adjusting where the second soundtrack came in and removing it entirely but neither of these solutions seemed to work very well and we needed to maintain the pacing of the trailer, so in the end we decided to move the shot to after the characters Alice and George talk about Eve's disappearance (as this shot is supposed to imply Eve's death).

As we now have these issues solved, we would like to gather some audience feedback to find out if there are any improvements we can make. I would like to conduct a survey aimed at the target audience of the trailer (ages 15+, either gender, as the trailer doesn't show explicit gore or extremely violent themes).
