Evaluation question 2
The film poster effectively sells the film by focusing on the mysterious lucky coin at the center of the story. It includes the film title, actors, release date, age rating, and production company logo to provide key information without revealing too much of the plot. While effective overall, the poster could be improved by including reviews. The radio trailer also sells the film well by piquing listener's curiosity about why three characters apologize to the protagonist and hinting that finding a coin improves his luck. It gives the release date and age rating, targeting a younger summer audience.
Evaluation - Question 3
The document discusses the student's audience research for their short film project. They conducted online questionnaires at various stages - during pre-production to get feedback on the storyline, during production to get feedback on a rough cut, and after completion to evaluate the final film. The research provided useful insights. It revealed the target audience's preferences and dislikes, which informed script changes like removing a romance subplot. Receiving feedback during production confirmed they were on the right track and helped with music choices. The research overall helped shape and improve the film.
Evaluation Question 3
The film industry spends time and money on test screenings and market research to understand their target audience for a film. This helps them determine how to advertise and distribute the film to maximize ticket sales. The document discusses how the filmmakers obtained feedback on their romantic comedy film from their target 15-25 year old audience at different stages of editing. They screened rough cuts and a teaser trailer, collecting feedback through surveys and social media. This feedback revealed needed improvements like making the voiceover clearer and adding more establishing shots. The filmmakers found the feedback useful for strengthening weak elements and guided changes to better engage their audience.
Question 3
The filmmakers received feedback from test audiences that helped them improve their horror film. The audience found the storyline easy to follow until the confusing return of the character Mr. Smith. They also struggled to hear some audio and felt the film lacked scares and music. To address this, the filmmakers cut the confusing Mr. Smith scene, increased audio volume, and added music and sound effects. Viewers also wanted more jumpy scenes, so one was added to the ending. The filmmakers aimed to please the majority who wanted unsuspected villains and a dark, mysterious tone through new plot elements and filming techniques. Feedback also helped tweak the film poster's tagline to better suit the horror genre.

Question three
The document discusses feedback received from audiences on a student film project. It describes how the students developed their film idea with their target audience in mind, created a questionnaire to get feedback on their narrative, and incorporated suggestions like costume and music choices into the filmmaking process. After filming, the students received additional feedback confirming their film fit the intended horror/thriller genre and was rated appropriately for age 12/12A. Viewers also noted editing could be improved if more time was available.
Trailer Analysis
The document summarizes feedback from test audiences who viewed the filmmakers' horror trailer. Key findings include:
- Audiences enjoyed the editing, sound design, camera work, and pacing of the trailer. They found it suspenseful and engaging.
- The scariest parts were the jump scare at the end and scenes involving the ghost character Rose.
- Test audiences could infer details about the film's plot and characters from the trailer, and recognized conventions of both the horror and trailer genres.
- Overall, the trailer received mainly positive ratings of 4-5 stars for its sound, visuals, locations, and characters.
Short film posters
Short film posters have different conventions than big budget feature film posters. American Hustle had a $40 million budget and prominently featured its all-star cast in the poster. In contrast, the short film Purge had no listed actors as it used smaller scale actors, instead highlighting the main actor with blurred backgrounds and shadows on her face to convey drama. Similarly, the short film It Won't Be You had a much smaller budget of only ยฃ3045, funded through Kickstarter sponsors that were credited on the poster in recognition of their support.

Question 5
Our target audience was individuals aged 12 and above who enjoy sci-fi films. We received positive feedback from audience members we interviewed that confirmed we had selected an appropriate age range. To appeal to our young adult audience, our two main characters were teenagers portrayed as a serious young couple. We also gathered input from a questionnaire on how each character should be presented. The bedroom setting looked unpretentiously homely with personal touches like a photo of the characters. Viewers provided feedback that the locations looked realistic and fit well with the story. Most viewers correctly identified the genre as sci-fi based on props like a photo frame falling from an alien-caused shake and the actual appearance of an alien.
Question 3- What have you learned from your audience feedback? The Music Video
The student conducted a survey to get audience feedback on a music video they created. The survey had 7 questions about different elements of the music video. The results showed that most elements were well-received, with 100% of respondents saying the song fit the video, editing was sleek, and the relationship was believable. Some said lip syncing was slightly off at times. Most enjoyed the performance shots. This feedback will help the student improve weak elements and understand what worked well for future videos.
Evaluation question 5
The filmmakers showed their film to a large audience to get feedback on how well they achieved their goals. Audience members provided comments on the film overall, typography, music, and storyline. Based on the positive reactions, the filmmakers believe they successfully reached their target audience. To do so, they considered factors like using actors of a similar age to the audience to make the characters relatable. Settings like a student house and showing the main character jogging also helped audiences relate to the characters. While their first film is not perfect, the filmmakers gained insights on areas to improve like adding more zombies to increase tension in the woods scene and building more suspense around a character's illness.
Evaluation Question Three
This document summarizes peer feedback on several short films. The feedback was separated into four sections: plot understandability, appropriate age rating, technical qualities/positives, and negatives/improvements. For plot understandability, 86% of peers found the plot understandable. For age rating, 71% thought 12/12A was suitable. For positives, peers commonly cited variety of shots and suitable sound/music. For improvements, peers frequently suggested credits and lighting were too long.

Evaluation q3
The student learned several things from obtaining audience feedback on their film trailer:
- Gathering feedback from a wide range of groups, including friends, surveys, and in-person discussions, helped them choose the best film title and identify ways to improve the trailer, such as using faster-paced music.
- Audio and in-person feedback in particular allowed them to observe reactions and get immediate feedback on how to enhance tension and introduce characters more clearly.
- Feedback from classmates confirmed strengths like balanced shots but also exposed weaknesses to focus on improving for a stronger final product.
- The experience demonstrated that outside perspectives can help identify issues not noticed yourself and make decisions to optimize the outcome.
Task 2 star image
The document discusses theories of star image and how a band can craft their image through various media. It analyzes how the band Paper Hearts portrays a youthful, romantic, clean-cut and ordinary image of themselves in their music video and plans to continue pushing this image in their digipack and poster through similar themes and styles. This is done to appeal to their target teenage female audience and fulfill requirements of being simultaneously attainable and unattainable stars.
Evaluation med q2
The filmmaker received feedback from audience questionnaires after a premiere screening of their horror film. The feedback indicated that the editing transitions could be improved as they were too obvious and did not flow well. However, the sounds used in the film were effective at creating tension and suspense based on the filmmaker's research of horror conventions. Some of the lighting and props also received positive feedback for helping set the dark, low-key tone typical of horror films. Feedback on promotional materials like posters and a double-page spread helped the filmmaker refine the visual elements to better capture horror aesthetics and conventions.
Audience feedback
The author created a music video and gathered feedback on it through questionnaires, showing it to students and teachers, and posting it on YouTube. They received both positive and negative feedback. Positives included that viewers liked the location and the lip syncing was good. Negatives were that the video lacked a male character and additional storylines or props could have made it better. If remaking the video, the author would address these weaknesses to improve it.
Magazine Changes
This is a slide share discussing all of the alterations my partner and I have made to our magazine front cover; once having feedback from our target audience and teacher.
Evaluation
The aims of the charity campaign brief were to raise awareness about stopping bullying.

The group developed editing skills like using different shots and transitions, but could improve by refining the opening and choosing music more suited to the serious topic.
Audience feedback
The document summarizes audience feedback from three people on a thriller film opening.
Ms. Kaddu liked the makeup, music, and said she wanted to watch more. However, she said the credits needed changing to flow better.
Sophie, a 16-year-old target audience member, enjoyed the black and white flashbacks and unexpected locations. But also said the credits needed changing.
The teacher provided crucial feedback, noting the genre was achieved and he had questions. He too said the credits could be improved and weren't memorable.
Overall the feedback was positive about the music, makeup and locations creating intrigue. The main issue was the credits, so they were changed to flow better
Evaluation question five
The document discusses how the filmmaker addressed their target thriller film audience. They did research on similar films like "Secret Window" and "Black Swan" to understand thriller audiences. They included thriller iconography and aimed for a 12 certificate to attract a wide range. The filmmaker surveyed their audience on sounds, music, and expectations to incorporate feedback. After releasing their film, they received positive feedback that the storyline was easy to follow but could improve scenes shot at night and explain the nurse's role more. Overall, the audience feedback helped the filmmaker successfully meet thriller expectations.
Audience feedback
The document discusses getting feedback on a music video project from students, teachers, and others through questionnaires and YouTube views. Feedback indicated that the location and lip syncing were positives, but that the video would benefit from including a male character and having multiple storylines to better match the song. If making the video again, the creator would address these weaknesses and also improve the editing to create a more effective final product.

Poster changes
Rhiannon and the author worked together to iteratively edit their film poster based on feedback from their target audience. They made several changes between drafts, including adding the male actor's shoulder into the poster to better integrate him, then doing the same for the female actor. For the final poster, they changed the background color and text formatting at the bottom based on criticism to make it look more professional.
A2 Media Evaluation - Question 3
The document discusses feedback received on a film project. It describes conducting two feedback sessions - the first on a rough cut of the teaser trailer focusing on order and elements, and the second after completing the teaser trailer, poster, and magazine cover. Feedback helped identify needing different music, shortening the middle of the teaser, and making the plot clearer. Additional feedback outside sessions led to changing the poster design. Changes from feedback improved the projects.
Script
1) A group of traditionally nerdy students known as "geeks" have started standing up for themselves against bullying students at their school.
2) During one altercation in the cafeteria, a geek named George said something that caused a bullying student to burst into tears and run away in shock and awe.
3) This shift in power dynamics caused the other students to applaud the geeks, recognizing their newfound authority on campus. The geeks have since hosted social events like debates to further establish their leadership.
Technical difficulties
We had several technical difficulties filming our mockumentary. The audio from the actors was very low and the camera picked up a lot of wind noise, requiring retakes. There were also issues with shaky camera framing. Editing the footage in Final Cut Pro took time due to the non-chronological order of scenes and uploading the finished video to YouTube was slower than expected given the length.
Poster creation
We created a poster on Adobe Photoshop because it has many easy-to-use tools. The actor was cut out from the background using the crop tool. The actor was pasted onto a yellow notepad. Black rectangles were added above and below to write text that would be clear against.

Henry Gilligan is a 17-year-old white English male who has achieved triple A's in science and is expected to attend Cambridge University. George Roberts prefers to be called Big-G, is an 18-year-old black English male who has been excluded from school 5 times. Khaled Webster prefers Spider, is a 17-year-old Middle Eastern male who holds the record for 7 suspensions in one year.
Question 1 evaluation
The student analyzed how their media products used and challenged conventions of real media. Their short film, poster, and radio trailer were presented on a blog. They used YouTube to post the film and Photoshop and GarageBand to create the poster and trailer. The film was a mockumentary genre which aims to be funny. Research of other mockumentaries informed their filming techniques and conventions. Feedback showed the initial draft wasn't funny enough but after rewriting the script, audiences found it funny. The poster and radio trailer also challenged some conventions to attract audiences. Overall, their productions developed from the first draft and successfully used and challenged real media conventions through research, audience feedback, and creative choices.
Narrative
The document discusses narrative theory used in a film. It summarizes that the film drew from Levi Strauss' theory of "cool" vs "uncool" characters and Vladimir Propp's concept of heroes, villains, and helpers. The film challenged more conventional theories from O'Sullivan about plot structure and from Todorov about narrative phases of equilibrium, disruption, and resolution. The document concludes that using these theories helped structure the non-linear narrative and character representations in an effective way.
Locations
The document discusses the locations that will be used for a short film. It proposes setting parts of the film at a school to reflect the ordinary lives of the characters who spend much of their time there. Another scene will take place in a forest to convey feelings of isolation and confusion. Additional locations mentioned include a house to feel homey and central London to portray busyness. The document was then renewed, changing the disruption scene to a coffee shop which symbolizes both bitterness and potential sweetness, and reducing the number of locations to simplify the story for a short film format.
who watches dramas
The target audience for short films are typically young people such as students and independent filmmakers. Short films appeal to this audience because they have simple, straightforward storylines that don't require large budgets. They also often include social or hidden messages that this young audience can relate to based on their own life experiences. While the document initially proposed a romance thriller genre, the filmmakers realized this would be too complicated to execute well in only 5 minutes and instead changed it to a drama in a social realism style to better suit the constraints of making a short film.
Possible loactions for our mise en scene
This document discusses potential filming locations for a movie or video, including a bathroom, bedroom, school, park, and coffee shop. Scenes are proposed that would take place in the bathroom, bedroom, school corridors, and park. The overall video is planned to be filmed and take place in central London.
Props
This document summarizes key props and their uses in a short film. A high school couple's relationship is put to the test by a socially isolated classmate, Jennifer, who uses a camera to film the couple and scissors to cut her hair like the girlfriend in an attempt to sabotage their relationship and win over the boyfriend. Mobile phones are also important as the classmate uses one to anonymously communicate with the boyfriend without the girlfriend's knowledge.
Question 1 evaluation zahraa 2
The document discusses the filmmaker's short film "The Glass Ceiling" and how it draws from conventions of the social realism genre. Some key points:
- The filmmaker analyzed other short films like "Soft" to understand narrative elements of the genre.
- For the title design, they looked at bold, capitalized fonts used in films like "Soft", "Kidulthood", and "Fish Tank" for inspiration.
- Camera shots like split screens and close-ups were used to convey the protagonist's feelings of inadequacy when comparing herself to models.
- The film follows a typical narrative arc structure and explores themes of identity and societal pressures on women.
What is a short film and brief history
Short films are similar to full-length films in that they have a beginning, middle, and end, but are typically less than 40 minutes long. They are often lower budget productions created by independent directors and can be used to entertain or convey a serious message. While not as popular as in the past, short films are still shown at film festivals and online. Some filmmakers create short films for charities to help raise donations. The history of short films began in the 1910s in the US with animated and live-action comedies, though their popularity declined in the 1930s before rising again in 1955 due to Charlie Chaplin's return to short comedy films.
Ideas use/subvert conventions
