Evaluation Question 1

Final Poster - Semiotic Analysis

Final Questionnaire - Feedback

Here are the final thoughts of my target audience and what they think of my promotional package overall. I used quotes from their answers and responses:

Final Questionaire

I have created a final questionnaire to ask my target audience what they think of my final products in my promotional package. I included questions for the trailer, the poster and the magazines. I essentially wanted to find out what their final thoughts were so here is the questionnaire:

I will gather their feedback and upload a post detailing their responses.

Final Magazine Cover

Magazine Cover - Photoshoot & Selection Process

Here is the photo-shoot and selection process for my final magazine cover:

Plan for my magazine cover

Here is the initial plan for my magazine cover. I will include various real life conventions including the mast head, tag line and cover lines. I will also follow a similar design with my trailer and poster in order to keep my promotional package consistent.

Final Trailer

Here is the final trailer for my film which I have uploaded on youtube so that my target audience can watch it.



Final Poster

Here is the final poster for my film, I have made various improvements from my first draft including the font of the title and adding more conventional features like film festival awards.

I am happy with this version of my poster and have received positive feedback from my target audience.

Font text

I am considering changing my title font for my movie poster to see which one suits it best; I have gathered the ones I think look appropriate for my movie and I will see what my target audience thinks of it. I will get their feedback to see if I should change it or if I should stick to the current font.

Film Poster - Draft 1

Here is the first draft for my movie poster; I need to get audience feedback and make further improvements if necessary. I will ask a range of people within my target audience to see what they think I can improve to it, or what I can change so that it will persuade them to watch the film.

Plan for my movie poster

I have created a rough plan for what my movie poster will look like, I will include various conventions including the title, ratings and cover models. This plan will help me create my movie poster and will give me an idea of where to place the images.

Movie Magazine - Semiotic Analysis

I have analysed a movie magazine so that I can identify the key conventions of it. I will use these to influence the movie magazine that I will be making for my film.

Trailer Darft 1 - Audience Feedback

Here is the audience feedback for the first draft of my film trailer. I asked my respondents what they liked and what I need to improve which I will then use to make improvements for my final trailer.

How do people find out about films?

I have done some research as to how people find out about films and the reason why they go and watch the film. I used the film 'Submarine' as an example to find out these reasons because the film is similar to mine.

Editing my trailer - Colour Grading

Colour grading is known as the process of altering and enhancing the colour of a motion picture, video image, or still image either electronically or digitally.


One of the many useful features of the editing software that I am using, Final Cut Pro, is that I have the ability to colour grade my trailer in order to suit the mood of the scene. For more emotional and sad scenes, such as the one where the character is crying about her dead brother, I have decided to alter the colours to a more darker shade. I chose to layer a shade of dark blue on top of the video to create a 'darker' and 'deathly' atmosphere which is appropriate for the scene.

 

As you can see from the before and after image, I have successfully colour graded the scene to create a darker feel which is what I was aiming for. I personally think that it looks much better because it is more emotional. I have also decided to do the same thing for the scene in which the mother is crying, also because of her dead son. Here is the before and after process of colour grading.

 

I think that this creative process is very helpful especially with the use of digital technology (Final Cut Pro) in order to create a more realistic and authentic film trailer. Real media products such as big budget motion pictures also colour grade their films in order for emotive effect which is what I have done so I think that this adds a professional touch to my trailer.

Changing the tagline

I have decided to change the tagline of my film. Initially, it was "you, me & the world" however I have decided to change it to "Life has a plan" because I feel like this is a more appropriate tag line. I used this phrase in my trailer so I think that it is appropriate to use for a tagline. By using the tagline in my trailer, I am keeping this film consistent which is what makes the film more believable.

Magazine Cover - Draft

Here is the first draft for my magazine cover. I personally think that I need to make more improvements such as a better cover image because it looks quite messy at the moment. In order to do this, I will carry out another photo shoot for a better quality cover image. There are also various empty spaces that needs to be filled out, for example I need more cover lines.



Film Exhibition

I have research film exhibition to find out more details about its role and purpose; I have also considered possible film exhibitors that could screen my film. Additionally, I looked at different types of exhibition. Overall, I have a better knowledge and understanding about film exhibition.
