I have recently finished my poster and review page for my short film, I asked my target audience what they thought about my final poster and review page to gather information on what they liked and disliked.
I created a lot of drafts for my short film and decided to get over the dilemma of trying to pick one by myself, I would ask my audience and see what they thought about them. It was clear that they all liked different aspects of different ones therefore I decided to add them all together to make a final poster.
'I really like the way that you have created a boarder around the image"
"The colour scheme works well as the black stands out and is simple"
"The title is effective and the locations is good as the words go with the positioning of the title"
"The photo is intriguing and I can't wait to find out about the short film"
"I like the title and photo but I can't really read the bottom so it could be in a better font"
"The title is intriguing but I would like it in a different colour so it stands out more"
"The way that the photo is positioned is clever but maybe you should see how it would look if the photo took up the whole page"
This feedback allowed me to look at the various aspects that they liked and see how I could work with them all together on one poster. As I analysed real short film posters in order to gain a wide knowledge of them, I looked at the conventions with my short film genre. I did decide to stick to black and white and is thought that the style would go with the style of my short film and also the way that I had to the boarder I liked. I did play around with the bill block and finally found one that was easier to read but still looked like a conventional billing block.
This is my final draft for my short film magazine film review and it is a massive improvement from the first draft. Without the feedback I was given I wouldn't have been able to produce this film review as I wouldn't have known what to improve, change or keep the same. My audience feedback allowed me to look at the different drafts and how I could include everything they liked from the other drafts into one.'I think you should add some colour to make it more eye popping, but I really like the tilted photos'
'I am looking forward to watching the short film, the pictures are intriguing and I really like how the stars are located at the side.'
'This review is very good however I would probably add some more writing before the interview'
'I like the way you have a white boarder as it makes it more effective, however I don't know how it would look when printed out.'
'The review is well detailed and I like the way you have an interview with the producer.'
'One of the things I really like is the way that you have the website and date that you can see the short film from.'
'I like the way you have the images and the font is really clear and is easy to read.'
'I am really looking forward to watching this short film no I have seen the review, it has a great detail and makes it even more intriguing to see what the short film is about.'
Overall, I think that the audience feedback that I got from this really helped me. As I made it using pixlr it was harder as you couldn't really undo any text that you have put on, therefore I made sure I had researched various reviews before hand so I could follow the conventions. I could then change only a few things that the audience have said.
I decided to change the colour scheme as I did find that that the black and white was a bit plain and it did need a pop of colour so I went for blue and green, this was then easy to identify who has said in the interview. I also changed the writing before the interview as there wasn't enough there, it was hard as I found that I didn't really want to give a lot of information away however I deffintaly needed a bit more detail.
