Our overall results from our focus group show great success of our trailer as it followed real conventions of trailers as many of the 8 people said they related it to the 'Blair Witch Project' which is where we got our original idea from.

By using a realistic location, narrative and representation of themes and characters we were able to make a professional trailer.
