Magazine cover

Today we started our magazine cover. We don't yet have an image we can use because the ones we do have are too similar to our poster image so we have decided to put in all of the headlines etc and then add in the image later on. Above is the first draft of our magazine cover, without image. I think the colours work really well together and match the horror theme of the magazine.

Final Poster!

Here is the final edit of our poster for our movie.

We have added in the reviews from movie magazines and critics to show what others thought of the movie and to advertise it well. We have also added a viral website to the bottom of the poster as marketing for the movie. It is a website where fans can post what they think is out there and upload images and videos etc.

I think the poster has a clear theme with our movie trailer because we have used an image that promotes a scary film and have used similar colouring with a black and white image and have used the same font for the title and other text. This shows how they have a running theme.

Feedback results

After looking at the feedback sheets that we got given back from the class we can put together results graphs to present the findings and see what percentage liked or didn't like our trailer etc.

Here are the results:

As you can see, the majority of the feedback is positive and 100% said they liked it and they could tell what genre the movie was which is very important as most of our research went into looking at existing examples of horror films to get it just right. I am really happy with the results, and if we were to make the trailer again, we would definitely take the comments on board because the audience was actually who we were targeting the film at anyway.

The Big screen...

Today we produced a feedback sheet consisting of 6 questions to ask our class about what they think of our trailer.

The questions were;

1. From watching the trailer, can you see what genre it is?

2. Did you like it?

3. What would you change about it?

4.Would you see it at the cinema?

5. What did you remember from the trailer? What stood out?

6. Did you understand the plot?

Once we gave everyone a feedback sheet, we played our trailer on the projector in the classroom. This gave us an idea of what it would look like on the bigger screen.
