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)
|
| 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.

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.

Final Poster
 |
| I created this film poster by merging a picture of a house in one of the scenes in the film trailer, with the murderer and abandoned sons face to create a scary and spooked image in which this will hopefully draw the audience in into watching the film.I was able to produce this poster by using the software on mac called 'photoshop', once the two pictures were merged and contrasted in with each other, having the picture of the killer faded in with house in one of the scenes. I then needed to create a title and credits, this was completed and I put them in affective and appropriate positions on the poster. Lastly i stretched the picture and made it the correct size and shape of existing film posters. Once this was done, the film poster was complete. |
StoryBoard
This is my rough storyboard in which i created when thinking and producing my story line for my film trailer. My film trailer may consist of different scenes that what is on the storyboard however this storyboard will be roughly followed and kept to.
Classifications
Now i have come up with my final idea, it would be a right time to take the age classification into consideration and explain what age my film trailer comes into and what this consists of.
The BBFC (British Board of Film Classification) are in control of what age restriction is suitable for each movie being released in the market. The BBFC guidelines are based on public perceptions, they look at different issues and circumstances involved in a film, video etc, such as representations of sex, violence, drugs, race and language.
My film trailer contains gore, horror, violence, and jumping footage. This therefore would be likely to fall into the age category of 15 age classification.
The BBFC class a '15' age rating under these actions:
Discrimination- The work as a whole should not endorse discriminatory language or behavior.
Drugs- Drug taking may be shown throughout the film as a whole. Yet the film should not promote and encourage drug misuse. The misuse of easily accessible flammable substances (for example, aerosols, canisters or solvents) is unacceptable.
Horror- Strong threat and menace are permitted sadistic or sexualised
Imitable Behavior- Dangerous behavior (for example, suicide, hanging and self-harming) should not dwell on detail which could be copied. Easily accessible weapons should not be glamourised.
Language- There may be frequent use of strong language, (for example 'fuck'). The strongest 'cunt' may be justified by context. Aggressive or repeated use of the strongest language is unlikely to be acceptable.
Nudity- Nudity may be allowed in sexual content but without detail. There are no constraints on nudity in a non-sexual or educational context.
Sex- Sexual activity may be portrayed without strong detail. There may be strong verbal references to sexual behaviour, but the strongest references are unlikely to be acceptable unless justified by context. Productions which are aroused by sexual context are seen as unacceptable.
Theme- No theme is prohibited, providing the treatment is appropriate for 15 year old's.
Violence- Violence may be strong but should not dwell on the infection of pain or injury. The strongest gory images are unlikely to be acceptable. There may be detailed verbal references to sexual violence but any portrayal of sexual violence should be discreet and have contextual justification.
