Feedback For Film Magazine...

Feedback on Magazine...

This is feedback that I received for my film magazine cover. I used the application, Whatsapp, to ask my audience what they liked about my product. I am happy with the feedback as it is all positive and there are no negatives.

Feedback on Poster...

This is some feedback that I received through the social networking site, Instagram.

I am very happy with this feedback and I have not been told why its bad, only good.

Planning My Evaluation...

Before I begin my evaluation I want to make sure I know what to include. 

I have written the questions at the top of each piece of paper and have just written notes underneath as a rough guideline to answering the questions.

Starting My Evaluation...

The four questions that must be addressed in the evaluation are:

• In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

• How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?

• What have you learned from your audience feedback?

• How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?

Poster: Draft 3 Production Process...

This is the second draft of my film poster.

Below are snapshots of the process I took to improve on it according to feedback that I have received from my target audience.

The first change I made was to the text on the computer.

I deleted the original text on the screen and replaced it with a bolder font which is uppercase so that it stands out even more and it also means that I have more coninuity as the rest of the text on poster is uppercase. I made this change as the feedback I received said that the text on the screen is ineffective.  

At this point I made the text larger so that if people were to walk past the poster, they would be able to read it easily. I noticed that when people read out the text that was on the computer it wasn't said how I wanted people to read it. So I made the word "really" bigger as I wanted more emphasis on this word. I asked people to read it again and they said it how I wanted it to be read.

When looking at the poster carefully I noticed that there was a bright gap behind the man's head which I removed when I deleted the original text. To fix this I used the pen tool to fill in the space with black whilst on the background layer. 

This is the poster zoomed out to view the changes made.

At this point I made some of the text at the bottom smaller, including the director, screenplay, the productions company and the studios. I did this because the feedback told me that the text at the bottom looked too clustered.

I also deleted the Wrong Identity hashtag and facebook link as I thought that this text was probably not necessary.



I decided instead to use the Facebook and twitter logos to allow some extra space at the bottom.

I also think that this gives my products continuity as I have used a scan code and have organised the logos in the same way that I did for my film magazine. I also moved the Wrong Identity website to right side to allow room and make it easier to read.

I felt that there was too much space in the top left hand corner that wasn't being utilised and due to the feedback I decided that it would be good to put a small review there. I decided to have the quote from "Pulse" the film magazine that I created so that I could have continuity within my products and a link between them.

The feedback that I got suggested that I needed to use some colour on my poster as it looked too bland. I decided to change the colour of the date of release and the text that says, "From The Director Of Last One Standing" because I felt that they didn't stand out enough in white. It also separates it from the rest of the text so it doesn't look like they are together.

I decided to change the the text on the screen again. I asked people sitting next to me what they thought about the latest text and they agreed that it was the easiest to read and suited my genre the most.

Feedback From Final Teaser Trailer...

 

Above is some of the feedback that I recieved from a group of my target audience.

 

General Feedback:

 

The general feedback was that they really liked the trailer and wanted to see the whole film. 

The reasons why they liked it was because they felt scared, which is how I wanted the audience to react. A lot of the feedback was that there was suspense within my trailer and that it was mysterious, which I think was because the man's face is never seen.They also liked the music and sound effects.

Looking at all of the feedback, their favourite part about it is when the man walks slowly down the coridoor and there is the sound of a heart beat. I am really pleased as this part is at the end of the trailer and so is more likely to leave a lasting impression on the audience.

 

Constructive Criticism:

 

One person said that there should be a high pitched scream. I do not want to include this as my genre is thriller and so I think this would make the film seem like a horror.

 

Another person said that the main actress should look more scared. I do not want to do this as I wanted the character to seem more anxious rather scared as I wanted to challenge the conventions of a typical girl in a thriller film.

 

It was suggested that the man in the trailer held an axe. Again, this is a convention of a horror, where the antagonist has a weapon. There is a fine line between horror and thriller that I did not want to cross.

Audience Feedback: Poster 2

• More colour needs to be used as it looks quite bland 
• Include a review
• Some text needs to be smaller as it looks clustered at the bottom 
• Text on the computer screen is ineffective

Poster: Draft 2...

Poster Draft 2 Production...

Due to the feedback, I made the light patches around the computer screen darker.

It was suggested that I use more text on the poster, so I included information on the website and social networking links.

I inserted text in the top left corner to fill in some of the black space.

I included some credits at the bottom as this is a common convention of a film poster.

Lastly, I changed the font of the date of release to attempt to make the poster look more interesting due to the feedback.

Final Film Magazine...

Process Of Film Magazine Production...

Based on the feedback, I made the skyline text larger so that my audience would be able to read it more clearly.

Again, based on the feedback I made the title bigger which fills up more of the space provided.

I stated who "John Carpenter" is as a lot of my audience didn't know who he was.

Some people from my audience suggested that I needed to include another image on the cover. I edited the outline of the chosen image using PowerPoint Presentation.

I then inserted this image onto my cover and inserted sell lines underneath to explain the image.

Lastly, I inserted social networking items at the bottom of the page and a scan code.

Feedback From Film Magazine Draft 2...

• Skyline needs to fill up more of the top line
• Include another image on the page
• Say who John Carpenter is
• Make the "Why" bigger in the anchorage text
• Make the sell lines snapier
• Make title bigger
