Ancillary Task - Questionnaire on Which Poster is Best

This is a short questionnaire asking my audience what they think of my posters and which one is best in order to see which poster grabs my audiences attention so that I can attract my target audience.

This is the questionnaire:

Filming Day Three

Filming Day Three:

This was the third day of filming and today we decided to get some shots which we thought were missing and the shots in which we needed to re-film in order for it to look better and clearer. 

Due to certain circumstances Jodie and Ashley couldn't be there at the beginning of the day so me and Charlotte decided to commence the filming in order to get as much done possible. The first thing we decided to do was get a long shot of Charlotte squirming under the covers as if something was irritating her and then she wakes up and covers her ears. This shot was used to tie in the whispers to the trailer and we believed this looked successful. We then decided to experiment with shots where it looked like someone was hanging over Charlotte holding the book. In order to get this shot I had to make sure that the camera was set in the correct way so that it didn't get my feet or legs in the shot and that it was low enough to just get my hair hanging over her, this took many shots to get it perfect. 

Once Jodie and Ashley arrived we decided to get the bathroom shot where Charlotte was standing behind Ashley in the mirror. In order to get this shot me and Jodie needed to work together as I held the camera over the bath screen Jodie had to tell me if you could see both Charlotte and Ashley in the mirror without the camera or us being seen which was successful after a number of time trying to get this shot. We then had to go up into the loft to try and film the shot where Charlotte jumps out at the individual who tries to take the book of her and we decided to do it in a different area which mad it look more professional. We then decided to get a shot where Charlotte was again reading the book but this time behind the banister bars which had connotations of horror and her being trapped in a possession with the devil's diary. 

After this we felt that we had all of our recordings in which we wanted to get in order for the trailer to have all the shots we needed.  

Ancillary Task - Horror Poster Screen Shot Three

Horror Poster Screen Shot Three:

This is the last stage of my poster and this shows that I have finally added the image to the poster which I have manipulated to make the diary stand out and this makes the audience want to know its importance and makes them want to go see the film to see why its so important. Because the image is all black and white and then the diary has colour instantly draw the audiences attention which I feel was more successful than the other posters image.

Ancillary Task - Horror Poster Screen Shot Two

Horror Poster Screen Shot Two:

This is the next stage of my horror poster and this shows that I have added the institutional information on the bottom of the poster which is a common convention with posters as this is a way to promote the people within the film if they are known celebrities. I have also added the release date of the movie on the poster so this enables the audience to see when they can go and see the film on this day which promotes the film. There is also the website of the film on the poster so the audience can go onto this website and find out a bit more about the film and possibly get involved in the promotion of the film contributing to the promotional aspect of the film. 

Ancillary Task - Horror Poster Screen Shot One

Horror Poster Screen Shot One:

This is the beginning element of my horror poster and this show that I have put the title of the film at the top of the page which is not thought to be a common convention within horror posters as they often place them just above the institutional information making the image on the page stand out for the audience. I have also added additional information stating which other films the directors have created which allow the audience to see whether they think this film will be good. I have placed a tag line under the title which often grab the attention of the readers which make them wonder what this means and will interest them into going to see the film. I have also added the common conventions of the placing the age of the film at the bottom left hand corner of the page and I have also added our production company logo which we created to show who the production company of our film is in order to give them credit.

Ancillary Task - Second Horror Poster

This is my final horror poster after I decided to change and manipulate the layout and image within my horror poster in order for it to look a lot more professional and more like a real media horror poster. I am going to show the process of my horror poster through screen shots of different stages within my poster showing what I did at each stage

This is my final horror poster: 

Ancillary Task - Horror Poster Screen Shot Three

Horror Poster Screen Shot Three:

This is the final screen shot within the progress of my horror poster and this shows that I have added the image to the page. The image takes up the whole which is a common convention within horror posters at the image is usually the main attraction within horror poster. As you can see the image is not very clear and the writing takes over most of the page which is something that I needed to consider in order to make it look much stronger.

Ancillary Task - Horror Poster Screen Shot Two

Horror Poster Screen Shot Two:

This is the second shot of the progress of this horror poster and this shows that I have added the institutional information just under the tag line which is again a common convention within horror posters. I have then added the release date of the film which is important for horror poster and almost all horror posters will feature this on a poster for a film. There is then a recommendation at the bottom which makes the audience want to know more about the film and they will want to see for themselves if this recommendation was true. I have then added the website of the poster on the very bottom of the magazine which is again another convention on the magazine. As you can see having all this information at the bottom of the page it makes the poster look quite crowded and it might not catch the audiences attention as much which is not what I want, I want to be able to grab the readers attention more which was a weakness within this poster. 

Ancillary Task - Horror Poster Screen Shot One

Horror Poster Screen Shot One:

This is the first stage within the process of my first magazine and this shows that I have placed the title of the film on the page which really stands out against the black and if the largest writing on the page. I have then placed a tag line which is just under the title which is a common convention within horror poster. I have then placed what other films the producers have produced on the page. There is also a line which reads 'welcome to catville' which grabs the readers attention and makes them wonder what's wrong with catville. I have also placed the company logo on the page and the age declaration on the bottom right and left corners which is a common convention within horror posters.

Ancillary Task - First Horror Poster

This is my original horror poster which I was going to use before I decided to change some elements of it. I am going to show you the development of this poster and what things I though looked poor and what I needed to do to make it look slightly better than it was in order for me to get the best marks possible.

This is my first horror poster:

Ancillary Task - Magazine Screen Shot Three

Magazine Cover Screen Shot Three:

This is the final magazine cover with everything on it and as you can see the last thing I did was add the image to the page which my audience felt looked the best. As you can see I decided to manipulate my image so that it was in black and white which denotes aspects of horror and I then decided to make her eyes red so that they draw the readers attentions and allow them to see that she has some kind of evil within her which the audience an see through this image with they said grabbed their attention hence the reason as to why I decided to use this image within my horror magazine cover as it stands out against the page.

Ancillary Task - Magazine Screen Shot Two

Magazine Cover Screen Shot Two:

This is the second shot within my horror magazine cover and as you can see I have added two different sections within my magazine cover. The first thing that I have added is buzz words at the bottom of the screen which allow the readers to see what else is featured within the magazine which is another convention of horror magazines. I have also added a tag line showing the featured film of the magazine within this issue which is our horror trailer, 'Dear Devil'. As it is featured under the title it means that this instantly grabs the readers attention and makes them want to know more about the featured article.

Ancillary Task - Magazine Screen Shot One

Magazine Cover Screen Shot One:

This is the first stage of my horror magazine cover and as you see this is where I have placed my mast head at the top of the page following the conventions of real life media magazines. I have placed the bar code at the bottom left hand corner of the page which is another convention which contains the price of the magazine, the date and the issue number of the magazine. Since I have took inspiration from the real magazine of Starburst I need to do almost everything that this magazine does in order for my magazine to have aspects of real media and I done this by also placing a slogan for the magazine above the mast head which is what the real Starburst magazine does. I then placed a selling line at the bottom of the page which tells the readers what other aspects of the magazine that are incorporated which will again catch the readers attention. I have also placed the website of the magazine on the page which will allow the readers to go onto the website and find out more about this issue of the magazine which is again a common convention of horror magazines.
