film poster second draft - feedback

After gaining some feedback for my last poster design I am quite pleased with how it turned out. Its not a usual film poster design due to its simplicity and minimalistic design. I made the design to do this as I felt the designs would be easier to remember than pictures of scenes and my actor.

Creative Carrers feedback

From this event I was able to gain a lot of feedback for my film poster from random members of the public which was useful as they did not know my production or who I was so the feedback was valid. I used paper questionnaires to receive the feedback and collected the results.

Many comments were positive and I found out many ways to improve the overall design:

• most of the text was clear however the text below the title needed to be clearer
• Not man people thought the colour scheme worked well

Second draft feedback

From these responses I found that it was a large improvement from my first draft and the soundtrack used had 'complimented the clips well'. If i was to develop my short film further I would work on the title scene improving it and using the same typography from my poster and magazine

Short film - Second draft

From my first draft I noticed that from the feedback on my first draft, the sound needed improving. There is one scene with is still unfinished which is the laptop scene as I wanted to record the laptop screen and overlay it on the actors face so you could see the actor and the laptop screen. I manged to record some clips using a free screen recorder however the quality was poor and the file type wasn't compatible with the editing software I'm using so I will have to do some further research.

film poster feedback

From this feedback I found that most of the text included is clear except for the text at the bottom. The style was also found to be appealing to my target audience which is important as I decided to take a unique approach to my poster design.

Things I will need to change are:

• Text at bottom - make sure its all clear to read
• colour scheme - Black may make appeal better due to the danger connotations

Update - Editing #2

After making my first draft I have started editing my second draft using the scenes I re-filmed and the feedback I have received. As I didn't input any soundtracks or edit the diegetics in the first draft so I planned to focus of the sound for the second draft as I felt this is an area that needed improving.

First draft feedback

As well as some paper copies I have found that my target audience thought my first draft worked well as a short film. Areas I found I could improve on were:

• Sound - add some music to help build some tension towards the end
• The first clips appear to be too grainy due to lack of light so I could re film these scenes
• The laptop scene didn't make sense however this is due to most scenes not being presented in the first draft
