AUDIENCE FEEDBACK RESPONSES & WHAT I HAVE

LEARNT FROM THIS. Evaluation 2.

ANCILLARY TASKSWhat do you like about them?

Response 1:Look professional and clearly show the genre

Response 2:I like the way the film magazine cover is simple and plain as it makes me focus on the main stars. The fact it is clear also allows me to identify which genre it is clearly. The font and central image used within your film poster also emphasises and highlights the romantic genre due to them being typical conventions.

Response 3:They show the genre of the film well and look really professional

Response 4:I like the fact that the genre is clear in both of them.

I think that overall the feedback on my ancillary tasks is very positive, everyone agreed that the genre is clearly shown and generic conventions are followed. However the improvements which I received all tended to agree that the house style/brand identity could be stronger as I instead followed the conventions of the magazine rather than completely my film style. Also the feedback on the picture quality I agree with as I used different cameras but didn’t get an opportunity to retake the poster image.

How do you think I could improve them?

Response 1: Possibly create a stronger house style and brand identity between them .

Response 2: The only negative comment would be the picture quality on the poster as it's a contrast to the magazine cover.

Response 3: You could make the house style/brand identity stronger between them both.

TEASER TRAILER.Do you think it looks professional? If yes what make its look professional? If no how could I have made it look professional? Response 1: Yes, looks of smooth fades and the music transfers nicely

Response 2: The sound chosen throughout is a typical song used within romance teasers therefore this makes it seem realistic and also conveys to typical conventions. I also like the 'DT films' as it makes the overall look seem more professional along with the date displayed at the end. The only thing that I feel could be improved would be using a tri-pod when filming just to give the shots a more clean look, other than that great trailer!

Response 3: Yes, the music suited the trailer well and matched what the actors were doing Response 4: Yes because of the clear voice over and range of shots. Also at the beginning when it shows 'the following preview..' and the 'DTFilms' makes it look more professional.

Do you think my actors portray a realistic romance? (provide explanation)

Response 1: Yes, they appear realistic and natural.

Response 2:Yes due to the body language used between them, also because they do stereotypical things a couple would such as going out and laying in bed together etc.

Response 3: Yes, you could clearly see the romance between them.

Response 4: Yes because the bed scene shows intimacy and you get a insight to things like them eating dinner together.

CONTINUED.What do you like about my Teaser Trailer and why?

Response 1:It shows a clear loving romance which has the typical generic sadness at one point.

Response 2:I like the way the sound compliments the actors gestures along with it creating a certain atmosphere when watching. I also like the way you have used the voice over to represent the storyline clearly.

Response 3: The music was very good and the trailer showed possible sad areas to the film which would draw the viewer in.

Response 4: I like how it's clear what is going on, the voice over is clear and the music fits really well with the story line/genre.

Is the storyline clear? Response 1:Yes, but a stronger sadness could be shown.

Response 2:^^ yes I believe it is very clear and understandable.

Response 3:Some bits were clear, but it didn't give too much away .

Response 4: Yeah.

In what ways do you think it reflected generic conventions of the romance genre?

Response 1: The softness of the edits and the music are typical of the genre as they gently flow throughout. And the use of numerous shots of the couple close to each other is very typical.

Response 2:The sound used was typical, the body langauge and gestures between the actors was typical, the font used to display the names and film title were typical and also displaying the film date to be released on Valentine's Day.

Response 3: The music reflected a romantic genre and the trailer showed a couple in love

Response 4: I like the soft music as it supports the romance between the couple.

What improvements would you suggest?

Response 1: Clear text on the pieces of on screen text to make it look bolder.

Response 2: As said before, only the use of a tri-pod. :)

Response 3: Maybe make the storyline a little bit clearer.

Response 4: I would suggest to make the pink writing on the ruffled background more bold to make it stand out better as it's quite hard to read.

WHAT I HAVE LEARNT FROM THIS:

I am very pleased with the feedback I have received from my target audience over all it is very positive and they have noticed things such as the fades and music which I worked on to make look professional. However something I should have asked if whether can see a house style as there was few comments on the magazine cover looking slightly out of place which I agree on but I tried to follow the generic conventions of the film magazine I took inspiration from.The improvements which my target audience suggested I totally agree with, something’s such as filming with a tri-pod I wish I had done as this would have made it look much more professional and if I was to do it again I would. Also that the storyline could be clearer with a slightly larger focus on the sad part would have made a much more dramatic trailer. Something small which I hadn’t really noticed was the quality of the writing on the on screen text this is something I really wish I had noticed and would make it much more professional looking. Overall the feedback is very positive and my work clearly appeals to my target audience which is what I intended to do along with creating something professional and with generic conventions.
