Media Evaluation Questions

 

Media Evaluation on Prezi

Final Project Audience Feedback

I produced a audience feedback questionnaire in which to find out what I could improve, 

to gain more marks and what I would need to do better if I was going to make another  Film trailer in the future. I was able to find out what went well and what I needed to improve. The audience which fillled out the questionnaire were told to be very honest in their answers so that the best possible feedback answers were received and analysed.

1. What would you rate my film trailer? (10 being the higgest) 2. Do you think my film trailer has every feature to fit a horror genre film trailer? 3. Does my film trailer present lots of different camera shots and techniques? 4. How bad was the camera shake? (10 being the worse)

5. Do you believe using the heading shots of headings over a black background was successful or unsuccessful?

6. What do you think of the time length of the film trailer?

7. What would you like to see more of in the film trailer? Explain

8. Do you believe my film poster and magazine tell the audience that my film trailer will be horror genre based?

9. What would you rate my film poster? (10 being the highest and bestest)

10. What would you rate my film magazine? (10 being the highest and bestest)

Final Film Trailer

This is my Final Film Trailer which i firstly uploaded onto YouTube and then linked it into my blogger.

The film trailer that I have created and constructed will also be provided on a DVD, which will then be sent away to the exam board to view.

Editing Film Trailer

To video the scenes and action needed for my film trailer I used my own camera/video recorder which was the Canon EOS 1100D. With this being my own, it enabled myself to record and film when in my own time and when it was relevant to me. It being my own also meant that i was using a product and equipment that i was familiar with. 

Once the scenes and acting needed for my film trailer was recorded, I then needed to edit and put all of the separate scenes and acting together. To do this i used the software on Mac called 'iMovie'

Once uploaded on my computer, I was then able to open up iMovie and begin uploading them onto the software and then start editing the scenes which had been filmed. I needed to edit the scenes to make them the correct length of time and enable that every scene and acting would flow and fit with the scene that followed. I needed to create an introduction also. 

Once the film footage was all on the computer, uploaded onto iMovie and put in place and edited to run smoothly. I had to start thinking and finding sound affects for each scene and the overall footage, this would enable my film trailer to be a complete package and at its best affect. I found suitable and scene relevant sound effects on 'iLife' and 'Garageband'. Sound effects used was a police siren, a women's scream and a mysterious opening sound.

Throughout the film trailer, I used different Title pages consisting of 'Pitcher Production Presents', 'Payback Is Imminent', 'In Cinemas Soon' and 'Not To Be Watched Alone'. These title pages all had black backgrounds for a spooky and dark effect with Red writing to relate with the colour of blood and horror. As the title pages became evident on the screen different effects were used to present them such as zoom, drifting, pull focus and credits effect. All of these small effects make the film trailer more presentable and effective in the audiences eyes satisfying and meeting their needs or wants in a film trailer.

Final Magazine Cover

Editing Magazine Cover

The first magazine cover which I created below, I placed a picture of footage from my film trailer and made it the main picture for the magazine template of a famous horror film magazine FANGORIA. This was a rough idea, in which it enabled myself to see what a film magazine should look like and what it should consist of.

This is my second magazine cover below, which i have created, this consists of a still picture from my film trailer of an important part of it, this lures and gives away a little bit of footage which will be shown in the film trailer giving the audience a taster of the film. I created the Magazine cover using the software Adobe Photo Shop, this enabled myself to size, add affects, add details and finalise and produce the magazine effectively and as good as possible.

I also used the software 'Paint' to crop and create sub titles to be put onto the film magazine, I was then able to create the positioning, colour and font of each sub title to enable that it fitted and was at best effect for my Film Magazine.

Another technique and tool used making this poster was on the website called 'piZap', this allowed myself to add photos, change the brightness, fade picture in with it, insert text, and many more effects were available if I wanted to choose them.
