After finishing my product I knew it wasn’t perfect, this is why after I have published my film trailer and my magazine poster and film poster I asked my fellow peers and teachers what they thought of my product. By this occurring it meant I was able to make changes to improve the overall grade. Most feedback was positive this was brilliant but some were negative but you will always get this on what every you do. What I do is that i see negative feedback as constructive criticism, this is because all feedback is a way to help you improve. This meant I could make adjustments to the mistakes and improve my blogs and then i can help utilise my conventions when it needed it.
Film Trailer
Positive Feedback
The tempo and the overall layout of my trailer
The audience can see what type of style it is going to be. they was also able to see the fast pace cut scenes who our antagonist is by the fast chopping scenes.
The lighting
The audience that viewed my trailer commented on the trailer by saying the lighting and the use of low key lighting is really good and it corresponds with our aim to have good cinematography. this means to have natural lighting.
Trailer conventions
When showing the audience our trailer they pointed out we used the use of trailer conventions very well. this was described to me as i had the use of titles in my trailer and the eerier sounds portrayed and finally the use of a trigger which were the audiences can identify when something goes wrong thus meaning our trailer has a enigma code ravelled inside.
camera shots
The wide range of camera shots throughout the film trailer. The audience noticed shaky cam whilst kidnapping, they say said it was good to show realism.
The finishing scene of the trailer
They audile expressed their love for when the trailer cuts of it has left them on a cliff hanger. this is because they notice a gun rising and cocking then ended which left them is disarray as they wanted to watch the film at the moment in time.
Negative feedback
Sound
There wasn’t enough sound. for example there wasn’t any non diegetic sound to build suspense up. which meant it lacked atmosphere
Titles
a little difficult to read as the movement speed was to much
Actors age to there role
one scene where the doctor is talking to the the antagonist he doest suit the role of that job which the audience have pointed out
Lack of effects
During the trailer the only effects that occur is fade to blacks and white this means its one dimensional this means its plain and boring in some parts
We made drafts throughout editing this is because we wanted to make everything perfect. this was hard to make everything perfect as we had a deadline so we can only fix certain things. This is because we had to give the camera back so we couldn’t re film certain parts. The main thing that went well during our trailer is the use of lights. When compared to Shutter island in a scene they used red head lights but more of a professional lighting equipment and by having the red head lights it allowed us to have good cinematography like professional films like shutter island. With the feedback about how we executed the trailer conventions was good this is because it helped us emphasise it to the audience se we worked hard on making it with fast pace cuts and jump cuts. When compared to other trailers like zodiac there is fast pace scenes normally only lasted from 2-6 seconds, this meant to emulate it we had to cut our scenes down to that and that is what we done as a negative feedback was that the scene were a little to long so we had to shorten them down to reach our target. With the negative feedback I toom it on board and was able to make some changes not all. for example
Film poster
Positive Feedback
The layout
the layout was really good to the audience this is because the main image left enough room to have other things around it.
colour contrast
the colour scheme was really clean and crisp. the audience believed that the colours matched the genre of our film.
Uses of fonts
the fonts used made it seem like a real poster, this is what the audience have pointed it out.
Negative feedback
to plain
in my first draft of my film poster it was to plain for my peers
The use of an image
The background wasn’t and image that i was allowed so i had to change the image
With my film poster there was several drafts this was because a certain stages i would also my teacher and peers for advice and i would also look at my research poster which was the ‘Shutter island’ poster. This helped me create a good film poster, as i was able to take ideas from it and emulate it in my poster. When creating my poster i had to find my main image that could capture my audience. This was done from locating an image from my trailer and using it. When i done this I had centred to be able to make room for putting the title of the film and also text needed. this was noticed by my peers and it allowed me to create a good film poster. My text was at the top and bottom this was because i took inspiration from Shutter island. it meant i could have my main image fairly large. The main image was my antagonist, this meant by having such a large image it meant people would be drawn to it and will interact with it. The negative feedback also helped me improve my poster for example it was to plain so by adding colour to match the genre it allowed the poster to come ti life. this meant it helped the audience what type of film it is.
Magazine cover
Positive feedback
The uses of space
Background
The layout and fonts
Colour contrast
Negative feedback
The main image doest stand out as much as the masthead
More images relating to films
When i have finished the film poster it was time to create a magazine cover. This was more time consuming, this is because a magazine needed more information. this is because when i looked at a empire magazine cover it had loads of information and i took this for inspiration. When it came to the masthead i had to think of a good title that could fit across the top to allow room for the main image to fit on the page. I had the image at a fairly large size and my peers told me that it would mean that other information would be cramped so i made it smaller to allow for other information to fit the cover. The main font i used was marid pro and throughout my cover I used the same font to make it all the same to make it seem clean and crisp instead of messy. The colour scheme running through it is black, white and red. This is because to make it look professional i had to keep simple colours running through the cover. This is because looking at the empire poster i was able to see they had a colour scheme thus meaning I emulated it into my cover this made it look clean and sharp. If it wasn’t for my research and my peers and teachers comments it would look scrappy and un neat meaning it would looked rushed.
