Most students who provided feedback on the poster and magazine for the film "The Watching" were male. For both, most students correctly identified the genre as thriller or horror-thriller. Students generally rated the poster highly and felt the layout and lack of color were its weakest points. For the magazine, students felt the layout was too empty and it needed more color on the cover. However, both the poster and magazine were effective at attracting interest in the film and conveying what it was about.
