Trailer
After having the class and teachers watch our first draft for our film trailer, we received many different comments about it. The main thing that wasn't very good about our trailer was the pacing. The shots were too long and we needed to split them up.
To fix this, we ended up chopping the shots up to make them significantly shorter. Also, with the shots we had, it was not enough because the second half of the split shot kept coming up too frequently so we needed to film a few more shots to make the trailer flow better.
Another comment we received was to put "coming soon" where our title shows up at the end. This was to simply make it seem more like a real trailer and was also very easy to implement into our trailer.
Film poster
For my film poster, the feedback was for minor things such as the positioning of certain parts. The position of the billing block and social media were altered to make the poster look neater. For the title, slogan and "coming soon", it was originally much higher and covered the main picture. The feedback I received was to lower it down in order to make the main picture clear. Another minor thing that I changed was to increase the opacity of the blood splatter so it is still able to be seen, but not covering the main picture too much.
I also removed the age certificate in order to make some space at the bottom of my poster.
Magazine front cover
The feedback from classmates and the teachers was that what I included was good however the layout had to be changed in order for it to look like an actual magazine cover. I spent a good amount of time resizing, reshaping and detailing minor things such as the text in the circle look like it had been put on with a stamp, or simply, the position of certain things.
My magazine is also called "Silver Screen". There was a big "S" and both the words were written smaller next to the big "S". This covered up about a fifth of the page which meant that there would not be enough space for everything else. I wanted to move it down so I could put a slogan/tagline at the top.
- In order to change this I had to design the title differently so I could fit more on my front cover.
My research on magazine covers has shown that a slogan/tagline is consistently used by many different magazine companies.
