Question 2 - How effective is the combination of your main product (trailers) and ancillary texts (print products)?

Question 3 - What have you learned from your audience feedback?

I created a survey asking audience members what they think of my trailer, print products and if they link together. I created this on survey monkey - 

I posted the link to this on Facebook as I know I will get a lot of responses from my target audience.

I also tweeted the link, to get more responses.

Here are the responses i got back from survey monkey - 

I also showed close friends and the actors from the trailer, and asked for feedback and if there is anything they would change or didn't like. (Feedback received from Facebook.)

In previous tasks i also asked for audience feedback on my plot idea's, fonts for company logo and film title. I used SurveyMonkey again and also did face to face interviews and recorded them or interviewed them.

My audience feedback through out my coursework has played a huge part in my construction of my print products and trailers. 

when doing my research and planning i got feedback from my audience which helped my decide on what narrative i should go with, and what they would want to watch and, on which masthead/title they liked for my Film magazine, Film title and Production company title. Having there feedback helped me know what font style i should use which will attract my audience, As what they want is very important to my products as i want it all to appeal to them, so i create certain work depending on what my audience said.

Audience feedback after the construction of my products was really important as it had an impact on what i changed or adapted. An example of this is my magazine front cover image. I original had an image where Esther is looking at the book and not the camera, this challenged the conventions of a magazine and made mine different. A lot of my feedback said they liked it but thought it didn't look as good where there is no eye contact shown in my magazine as they felt like they couldn't connect with the actor and wasn't drawn in my the image. This led me to make the decision of re taking images and changing the image on my magazine front cover. (I did this post evaluation.)

The impact audience feedback had on my products was huge as it made me change my trailer and print products to appeal to them, which felt professional as its what real institution do.

Question 4 - How did you use new media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?

Pages of the book - 

Ive been watching trailers to help me with filming. I want to try and make the book seem more significant. A film called the Babdook does this. After watching this trailer several times i have noted down good point of where the book is shown and how they've used the camera shots to show inside the book and them reading it.



From the very beginning to 0.23s in, its all about the book and them reading it.  They use long shots of them reading it and also close ups to show facial expressions. I want to try and do shots like this. 

Also at 0:47s to 0:52s where its shows more significance about the book and how she is in the book. I also want to do these short shorts like that, where the audience can read and see how Esther is involved in the book.


Bits of the book I've wrote -

Part of the Book.

(This is when Esther first discovers the book and she flicks to a random page.)

The highlighted section is the bit i've wrote, this is what the camera will focus on, the rest is random text so it looks more realistic.

Editing Colour -

I've edited the colour to give the film more of a dark atmosphere. I like this a lot more and will use this now as my final trailer.

I've also changed the colour on my teaser trailer to keep the continuity.
