Audience feedback

Billboard mock up 4
I think the billboard is good however I don't think it looks very professional and I believe the main problem is the image. The background of the image is very bland and boring so to improve it, the photo needs to be taken with something more exciting in the school such as the canteen. The characters stance can also be improved with the kidnapper pointing a gun towards the hostage with possibly the student trying to stop him. I do however think that text at the bottom looks professional and should be used if another billboard/poster is made in the future. I also believe that the broken glass adds some effect but isn't necessary on the billboard.

Final Magazine front cover
I think the final magazine front cover looks very professional with the main image especially standing out due to the fact that he is pointing a gun towards the audience and also looking straight at them, I feel like that creates a connection with the audience and the character. I also think the pug stands out with the red and white border behind the black with text inside. The font used for the headlines and cover lines works well as it is very compact and works and the font used for the masthead also works well as it is big and bold in bright orange and so stands out to the viewer.

School Run Trailer
The trailer, in my opinion was very good. The CCTV shots really stood out to me the most due to the fact that it looks like real CCTV footage which made myself excited. I liked the fact also that there was two different pieces of music used as the music started off very slow and quiet which built up to another piece of music which became very dramatic and that made the trailer a lot more exciting. The shots become more fast paced at the end of the trailer which synced well with the music as everything became a lot faster which made the trailer more dramatic and exciting. The title of the trailer came up at the end of the film so that meant I knew what the film was called and the end credits gave all the information I needed at the end about who the actors were and also the production companies. I feel the trailer was produced very well.

What would I have changed if I was to do the project again
Overall, I wouldn't change much at all as I was able to make changed along the way as I was able to gain feedback from my audience and also teachers along the process of making my print products and my trailer and so I was able too improve my products instead of looking back now and thinking I could change a lot to my products. If I was to make one improvement then I would choose to possibly take a better photo of the kidnapper without the balaclava on for my poster as the photo in some ways looks partly blurry but it wouldn't make too much of the final outcome of the poster.
If I were to do this project again then I would ask the audience to give me just negative feedback and this would allow me to focus on fixing and making those improvements.
