Review: Target Audience Feedback




Review: Final Product



Whats been changed from the feedback of the first draft?
  • The first draft was unorganised, the film details and synopsis were difficult to see. The columns weren't made clear therefore, the text wasn't as separated as it shouldve been. Due to this feedback, i made sure my columns were more clear and so that it was made visible where the text is separated. 
  • My critical voice wasn't established well. From this feedback I changed my review to a negative review rather than a positive review. This was made clear due to the addition of the Daily Mail quote on the side of my review.

Review: First Draft of Product


What went well for my first draft:
  • Use of image from the film
  • Inclusion of a synopsis and verdict

What hasn't gone well for my first draft:
  • Your review is very unorganised - it is difficult to see where the film details and synopsis are placed. This needs to be made much clearer with the use of columns to separate text - perhaps the use of subheadings may also help.
  • Your critical voice is not established very well; you need to make it clear whether you like or dislike the film throughout the synopsis and your verdict.
  • Your verdict is very short and does not give your readers a sense of whether the film should be viewed or not, the recommendation or lack of, needs to be much more explicit.
  • Although your review is formal in places, it lacks sensationalised language. You need to include many more language devices within your writing to make this review entertaining and convincing to read.

Poster: Title Planning


1. I went through fonts on Photoshop and the first one was too digital for a horror film and a film that's clown based. It didn't work well with the sub-genre of my movie and it fit more into the sub-genre of a paranormal movie. 

2. Similarly, I felt this font was too digital. However, this one did not have any frightening appearance about it. For my title, I wanted to achieve an affect that made it clear it was a slasher based sub-genre. However, this title was also more paranormal than slasher. 

3. This font was more specific towards my sub-genre as it had a playful font. There are sharp edges on the letters and it also gives the impression of a circus. However, the downfall of it was that it looked more childish than scary. 

4. This is the final font and it is the one I decided to use for my horror poster. This is because, the features such as; circus like font were specific to my narrative and sub-genre. Furthermore, I felt this also appeared to draw more attention than the other fonts did. However, I made the colour darker for my poster as I wanted to create the effect that the title is fading away. Which ties with the narrative of the characters in the short film, fading away one by one.
