2. Can you tell the movie is a horror
movie?
Yes, the typeface and
photo
Yes, looks scary
Yes by the effects
used
Yes, the whole look of the
poster shows that it is a horror
From all the people asked they all
said that they could determine the
genre of our film from the poster.
This is a good thing to make sure that
the genre of our film is recognisable.
3. Do you think the fonts fit with the
movie genre? If not, why?
Yes, very effective
I think it does
Yes, fits with
the title of
the film
Yes, I think that the font works really
well with the title and genre of the
film.
Well, it’s a good font but some of
the writing could be clearer if a
different font could have been
used.
The majority of the people that we
asked agreed that the font we chose
was good. However we have had some
feedback saying that the font could
have been clearer and this is a practical
element that we adjusted.
4. Does the colour scheme fit with the
genre? If not, what colours would you
suggest?
It does
Red goes well
with the horror
genre
The red used is good but other darker
colours could have been used to add to the
effect.
From the feedback we have
received it has been noted
that we could have added
some more darker colours to
add to the red. This may
have helped to increase the
professionalism of the
poster.
5. Do you think the tagline is
appropriate? What sub-genres would
this lead you to believe it is?
Yes – makes you think of a
new kind of horror
Yes, supernatural!
Yes, paranormal
Yeah and the ‘possess’
makes it sound ghostly
and paranormal
All of the feedback that we got
about our tagline was positive.
This shows that it would be a good
tag line to entice the audience to
watching the film.
6. Do you think the composition of the
poster is well thought about? If not,
why?
Yes. Although the small font
is patchy and hard to read
Yes, I like that
the figure is
positioned to
the right
Yes, I think that the composition
of the is good however the photo
could have been a bit clearer
Most of the feedback that we received
was positive and this meant that we
didn’t have to change anything on our
layout when making our final copy.
However the quality of the photo was
commented on and this could be
changed by using a better camera.
7. Do you think the poster and magazine
cover are working in synergy?
Yes, they work very well
together
Yes, I like the way they
have both been edited
in a similar way
Yes, they use the same colour
scheme and fonts etc.
Definitely. I like how
you’ve used the same
model in both but
changed angles and
compositions
From all the audience feedback that we
received, we found out that everyone
asked thought that our poster and
magazine worked in synergy. This means
that there are clear links between the two
print media aspects.
8. Do you think the public would use the
social links to interact with the movie?
If not, why?
Yes they would
Most probably
Yeah!
People like to get
involved with things and
this gives them a way to
feel part of the film
We thought that due to the
technological age that our target
audience are in adding the interactive
links would be appropriate. From the
feedback we received this was a good
thing.
10. Does this cover show you that the
featured film is a horror?
Clear iconography is
presented.
Very Clear with the hooded
figure, gives an element of
mystery
It is dark and dingy
The woods are iconic of the
horror genre so I recognised
from that
Although its quite light there are
elements of darkness
The overall look gives off
connotations of horror
These results show that the majority of people asked could
recognise our front cover as that of a horror film. The only
criticism is the lightness of the image as horror front covers are
stereotypically dark. We felt that it was important to go against
this convention so that everything on our front cover is seen.
11. Does the colour scheme work well?
I think the colour scheme works
well throughout.
Yes.
The colours really compliment the images
on the front cover.
I think darker colours
could work well to follow
the conventions of a
typical horror.
From our audience feedback we have learnt that most people agree that our colour
scheme works well. Although it could be darker and include more variety. We used the
colours we did as we feel that they add to the professionalism and interest to our
magazine cover.
Yes it looks
professional but not
boring.
12. Are the fonts clear to read?
Yes, the fonts are clear
and easy to read. Yes, the typography that has been
used follows the themes of the
magazine as well as being easy to
read.
Yes, I can read all text
All of the people that we asked agreed that
the font we used was clear to read. This is
vital to our magazine as the audience need
to be able to read the text on the front.
yes, they add to the effect created
by the front cover.
Yes.
13. Does this magazine have conventions
similar to other magazines?
Yes there are large amounts of shared
conventions between this and that of a
real magazine.
Yes, this magazine looks really
professional.
Yes, on this magazine
there are lots of
conventions that other
magazines have such as
puffs and plugs
No, there are not enough
plugs and puffs to make it
look good.
Yes, that balance
between text and
image is just right.
This analysis told us that most people asked agreed when we asked about convention
sharing. It shows us that excluding the one negative comment we received our magazine
is thought to look professional. If we wanted to improve we could ensure that we
addressed the negative comments and made sure that we made the balance betwen
plugs and puffs right.
14. Does it fit your expectations of a film
magazine?
Yes, the way that is laid out looks
similar to a real magazine.
All of the practical elements have
not been forgotten.
Yes, the layout looks familiar to
ones I have seen in shops before.
The magazine looks interesting and
resembles what I would expect a real
magazine to look like.
Yes.
From the feedback that we have received it shows that our magazine fits most peoples
expectations and resembles layouts similar to that of other magazines. We have
remembered to include all of the practical elements to ensure that our magazine looks
the best it can be.
15. What do you think of the balance of
text
The balance is perfect.
It is good, the cover doesn’t look
to overcrowded but isn’t too
bare.
There could be more text but the cover
isn’t lacking anything.
The image is so detailed that a
large amount of text is not
needed.
The balance of text to
image is fine.
This feedback shows all of the people that we asked said that we have got the
balance right. Although some of the feedback said that we could have used more
text this could be in the form of plugs puffs or general text about the features in
our magazine.
The top of the magazine cover
looks a bit bare compared to the
bottom.
16. What do you think of the title of the
magazine?
I like it.
It has a good ring to it.
It works really well with the slogan,
and is memorable for target audiences.
It is similar but slightly different to
other film magazines so may be
mistaken for other magazines.
Its short and sweet
Due to the importance of the title to our magazine it was important that it was
appealing to the audience. With the feedback that we received it is clear that the title
that we chose was attracting to the audience. The audience said that they would
automatically know what to expect and this is good for our magazines reputation.
Although some of the feedback we got said that it similar to other magazines, which
may cause a problem if its too similar.
I would know what to
expect instantly.
Its fantastic, I am really impressed.
18. Does this trailer portray conventions
of a horror teaser trailer?
Yes, the hooded
figure adds to the
atmosphere and is
very common in
horror
Although there is small amounts of
blood, if more blood was used then
it could have been more like other
horror trailers
The darkness and the woods
are good
We tried to include as many conventions
as possible to ensure that the feeling of a
horror trailer was achieved through the
watching of our trailer. The feedback that
we received complimented this, apart
from the thought of adding more blood
but as we were trying to achieve more of a
pyscological horror we didn’t think this
was appropriate.
19. Let the text last longer
Larger texts on the text
frames
Better image quality
More scenes in the car
The acting could be
improved on
Is there anything that we could
improve on?
We received a large amount of feedback on how to improve our trailer. One of the
main points we found was that the text at the start of the trailer does not last for
long enough. We want our audience to have the best understanding of the setting
of our trailer so this is something that we have amended.
20. ‘When the possessed girl
is walking towards the car
holding the cross’
‘The breathing which follows out
with the screen shot of ‘four
friends went on a trip of a
lifetime’
‘The cross which is
represented in the movie
poster, the movie
magazine and the teaser
trailer’
‘When the possessed girl
turns round and the title
of the film comes up’
‘The title font’
Is there anything that work
particularly well?
We found knowing what
parts of the trailer the
audience liked useful as it
helped up to create the final
trailer. It also helped us to
know what parts of the
trailer to keep in.
21. Are the sounds effective?
Yes they really add to the trailer and help to
build tension
Yes, I like the heartbeat that is
heard The breathing really adds
effect to the trailerThe dialogue of the actors is
good and lets the audience
know part of the storyline
without giving away to much
The sound is such a large part of
the trailer that we needed it to be
right. The feedback that we
received is all positive.
