Sam's Evaluation - Question 3
What have you learned from your audience feedback?
Initially, after research into the codes and conventions of film posters in our chosen genre we created a set of 12 images that could be used as our posters. While they were all aesthetically good, we couldn’t choose between them so handed out a questionnaire to other students to see which they thought was best.

It helped us decide which image was right to promote our film, alongside the trailer and magazine cover.
We also received some audience feedback on Youtube about our trailer.
The feedback regarding the soundtrack was helpful as it shows our trailer is easily recognisable as a romantic comedy which will help draw in audiences, as they can decide instantly whether they want to see the film or not. The comments that the plot is easily understood are helpful too as it shows our title screens were effective in helping piece together the story.

Sophie's Evaluation - Question 3
“What have you learned from your audience feedback?”
We firstly received audience feedback about our poster. I sent out a class questionnaire asking which background image best goes with the theme and style of our poster and trailer. This was useful because it helped me to decide which image to use as they were all acceptable, just picking the best one was difficult. It also allowed me to see which one looks the most professional and so which one would help to sell the film more.
I also received audience feedback on the trailer itself, through comments people left on YouTube. They thought that the music is catchy and really suits the storyline and that all features of the trailer work well together to make the genre automatically identifiable. It is important to me that the music works well with the trailer because if it is catchy then it will stay in people’s heads and it also helps to tell the story, which some of the scenes and title screens may have left out. I am also pleased that people thought the genre was identifiable because this means people will be able to instantaneously decide whether they may be interested in seeing the film at all based on whether they like rom-coms.

Poster
I added an image to the poster. This showed the characters in the film and also filled in the space above the title that was there previously.
The final draft of the poster:

Sound
In the end we used a cover version of mumm-ra - she's got you high that I found on youtube. We extracted the sound and this made it able to play the music in our video on youtube and therefore sound more professional than a royalty free piece from a website.
This is the sound we used:

Music
We uploaded our finished trailer to YouTube however the music we used - mumra, she's got you high - was disabled by YouTube due to copyright issues. This was very unfortunate as the song went perfectly with our trailer.
So we than began to look at copyright and royalty free music.
We found a track on mobygratis.com, where we applied for a license for the track. We would then be able to add this to our trailer.

Filming
I filmed the scenes of a girl being hit with a golf club, and also when the two main characters meet. This means we now have all our footage and so can begin all of the editing.

Audience Feedback
I have now asked people to give me feedback on which poster draft they think looks best. This will make it easier for me to decide which one to use and I know people will think it looks good.
This image was favoured.
I think this was because New York is a romantic setting for a film, and the skyline helps to show the overall setting. The blue strip of sky across the top also provides a good space for the faces of Georgia and Ben.
There is a lot going on in the background which could make the poster look hectic and hard to understand, however the opacity will make it more comfortable to be viewed and the detail will make it more interesting.

I have begun to create a first draft of a poster. At the moment, I only have an image from google which I used so it is easier to see how the poster will turn out, however I will change this to an original image at a later date. We will also need to take a photo of the two main characters, probably facing back to back, to put on the poster.
