Feedback Questionnaire

For my audience feedback section of my evaluation, i decided to conduct a questionnaire for my inteded audience for this evaluation to be as effective as possible.

Final Cut!

This is the final cut. I made the adjustments recommended to me by my peers and course teacher by using after effects. I hope that i have created a peice that reaches the audiences wants and needs. I will see if i have done this through my evaluation and feedback.

Final Promo Poster

I have made the changes that were advised to me by my teacher and classmates. Centering the couple draws more attention to them, and evens out the look of the poster. Like my magazine cover i have stuck to the same colour scheme in order for the audience to establish a connection between the three products. Similar to posters such as New Moon and Harry Potter, i have included a 'caption' from the film or a teaser that suggests what the film could be about whilst not giving away the plot. It also allows the audience to think about what could happen in the film, which is what i want them to do when they have watched the trailer. Will they ask questions about? What will interest them? I would like to get the same reaction from this poster. I have kept the same font, which is common in all promotional posters as it supports and connects the trailer and film. I think the image shows a connection between the characters, but does not reveal what type of relationship as the female is holding a gun, and has the red jacket on, which suggests that she is the one with blood on her hands. However i am hoping that this is ambiguous to the audience and does not give the 'game away' before they have even watched the film or trailer.

Final Magazine Cover

This is the 100% finished magazine cover. I have added depth to the image and shadows and tones to the text to make it blend in more with the page. I also corrected the spelling mistake. I am pleased with the final cover. I think it connects with the other products i have produced, for example i have kept with the black and white theme throughout, adding red into the ancillary tasks to suggest danger and set a mood to the film, whilst also adding extra colour. Although the image of the actress was a photograph, i have tried to make it look like a still shot from the film. This is so that it fits the codes and conventions of film magazines, such as Empire, where my earlier research shows that the actors are as their character on the cover (Wolverine) or a shot from the film has been incorporated onto the cover (Public Enemies screen shot). I didn't want the text to overpower the cover as i wanted it to be simple yet effective, which is the look i was trying to achieve with my Promo Poster. I feel I have managed to achieve a simple yet effective front cover to a film magazine, whilst incorporating conventions from the Film Noir genre and general film magazines such as Empire.

Final Cut 1

This is my final cut, however i am aware that some adjustments may need to be made after showing it to my teacher and class mates. I have also done the adjustments suggested to me when i showed my rough cut, such as taking certain shots out, reshooting shots and adding font onto a moving image, which was particularly challenging for me as i am not very skilled at After Effects. I think the trailer sets the mood for the film and has a narrative that the audience can follow, which is what was present in the trailers i studied (The narrative).

Feedback:

After showing this to my course teacher, i have only a few things to fix for the final piece. The titles need some movement such as fading in and out, similar to the name titles i have added later on in the trailer. I am happy that i have almost finished and will make the changes to it. I will also further develop my After Effects skills through doing this as well as fitting the codes and conventions of Trailers.

Promo Poster

This is my Promo Poster. The red jacket is to symbolise that she is the villian, but the pose is hard to establish what relationship they have as she is also holding the gun. The balck and white theme is to carry on the link with the trailer and magazine. I have used a caption instead of a review from a magazine, this is becuase i wanted to set an atmosphere for the film. Posters such as Harry Potter and New Moon also has captions to entice the audience. After a review of this poster, the couple need to be centered more, as they look more to one side. However overall i am pleased with the outcome of this poster. It is simple, the way i wanted it, but is also effective. The colour scheme and caption allow the audience to connect it with the trailer but also set the tone of the film.
