Question 3: What have you learned from your audience feed back?

For the purposes of simplicity I have developed a wordle for each my poster, magazine and film trailer audience feedback. This programme allows for a professional blend of many words and sentences; this helps break up the normal text that is used.

Poster Positive Feedback:

The positive feedback I received on my poster allowed me to develop the confidence and go and create a final products using the product I had already produced, I received honest feedback from my friends and family through the use of social networking websites etc. They thought that the characters poses were professional and the editing of the photo was effective; this was good to hear as it allowed me to keep the photo I had shot and edited originally.  Also I was told that I had a good use of colour in the poster, this relates back to question two of the evaluation and helps to show that the poster fits in well with both the magazine and the trailer. The feedback I received also showed that the use of the official univers 39 font coupled with the large release date of the film in red on the bottom of the poster really helped to give it that final professional look that I needed.

Poster Negative Feedback:

The negative feedback I received was also very positive as I did not receive very much negative comments on the poster, the only thing that I was told to change was to make the male characters in the poster slightly brighter. This I took into account and did complete in the editing stage.

Magazine Positive Feedback:

The positive feedback I received on my magazine helped me a lot in terms of learning what the audience liked so I could emphasise that on the final draft of my film magazine. I was told that the different fonts gave the magazine a professional look, also the way in which they were positioned were also effective.  This allowed me to expand on this in the final draft to be able to attract the audience to the magazine. Also I was told that the house styles used were consistent which I have previously said help connect all three pieces of media text I have produced. The title of the magazine was sized correctly said one person, this allowed me to keep that the same size as I learned it attracted the audience. Finally I was told that the positioning of the characters was very good in terms of establishing a connection with the audience.  After all this feedback it was clear that the product I had produced held the key features of a successful product.

Magazine Negative Feedback:

The negative feedback I received on my magazine allowed me to finally complete the product and to its full affect in terms of attracting the audience. I was told that the initial blurred title effect should be taken off as it not conventional of magazine front covers and will not attract the audience. Finally I was told to make the characters slightly bigger as they will stand out more and therefore attract the audience to the magazine and therefore the film.

Film Trailer Positive Feedback:

For my film trailer feedback, this was the main piece of feedback I focused on in order to produce a professional film trailer. I was told that the trailer featured a good use of sound as the music at the beginning drew them in and caused them to want to watch the rest of the trailer. Also the use of camera angles and effects in terms of over the shoulder shots, establishing shots, head and shoulder shots, point of view shots were all used in my trailer to give it a more rounded and somewhat conventional look and the audience showed a liking to this. The editing was very good I was told with the use of different cuts and also transitions between different scenes, also the syncing of different pieces of sound in the trailer helped emphasise the overall affect. Finally the acting in the trailer was good, helping to make the trailer more professional and causing the audience to want to see the film.

Film Trailer Negative Feedback:

The negative feedback I received on my trailer allowed me to edit it again to suit the needs and requirements of the audience to cause them to want to see the film. I was told to ‘speed up’ the trailer by making the cuts quicker and the scenes shorter to draw the audience in more. Also I was told to take out some scenes as it gave away too much of the story, so I did that, this is to leave the audience on more of a cliff hanger and will cause them to want to go and see the film.
