Evaluation

Alex Horner A2 Coursework Evaluation on Prezi

Soundtrack

We have chosen this song by The Prodigy because we thought thatthe slow build up at the beginning of the song will fit in well with the way our trailer is structured. When the drop comes our trailer will switch to the fast scenes which we have recorded. This is a good feature of our trailer because it shows that we have thought long and hard about the choice of the music and where it will fit in.

Risk assessment, venue and contributor release forms

These are the forms which we had to fill out as part of our coursework. These are to show that we have permission to use the actors we have and also to show that we have taken safety precautions into account when filming.

Final film magazine cover

This is the final design of the film magazine cover which I have created. The main attraction to this page is the headings "The Deal" and the title of the magazine "Light & Sound". I have designed it this way because I think that the colours and the text fit in well with the house style of the whole magazine. I have made the background to the masthead yellow because this is one of the colours which attract the human eye most (along side with red). I have given a short description of the film and what is to be found within the magazine, and I have also added another section at the bottom of the cover which states what is also in the magazine. I have given the issue number, the barcode and the price in a different position compared to mostother magazines and this is because I think that it looks better in the top right hand corner and more professional. The image which is in the background is dark because of the lighting in the scene, and I have made it this way so that it gives the film a more gloomy approach. Also I have stuck with the same house style throughout the magazine and this shows that I have an advanced understanding of the media and how different images are portayed.

Final film poster

This is the final design of my film poster. I have changed the orientation from the previous mock-up which I created and this is because I thought that it would look better if the orientation was portrait. The image is of one of the actors running through a garden and this links well with the film and the slogan because the film is about drug deals and what happens to people who dont pay up - this image shows one of the dealers chasing after someone which gives more of an insight into the trailer. I have also pt the slogan in the bottom left hand corner of the page and this is because I thought that it would look better there as the page would have looked too empty without it; and also because it ties in with the image. The other feature in the bottom right hand corner is the release date of the film, and this is so that the viewers can get an idea of when the film is going to be released. The film title is the biggest feature on this page, and I have made it this way so that it is eye catching for the viewers. If the poster looks good then I think that people will be more interested in it. I have also decided to take the actors names out of the film poster, and this is because I thought that without the names scattered unprofessionally across the poster it would be more to the point.

Film poster mock up

This is the mock up of a film poster which I am going to base my film poster upon for when I actually create the actual version. I think that the low level of features on this film poster are relevant and to the point. The right side of this poster will be filled with information on the film such as the release date and the actors who are in the film. I am using this because it is what the viewers want to know when they are watching the trailer. I have a slogan on the bottom of the poster so that it will attract the viewers attention. I think that this is useful on a film poster because it is what people will remember when they see the poster. The title of the film is located at the top of the page because in my opinion this is the most important part of the poster; this tells the viewers what the film is called and it will also allow them to recognise if it is part of a sequel or a prequel. The image is the second most important part of the poster and this is because if the image is poor people will not look twice at it; but if it is a big image which shouts at you then people will be more interested to find out what it is and what it is advertising.

Mock up of a magazine cover

This is a mock up of the film magazine cover which I am going to create for our film called The Deal. I have used a number of generic conventions on this mock up of poster becuase from seeing recent publications I have noticed that these are the most useful and memorable features. From the film magazines I have studied the masthead is universally across the top so I have applied that to my magazine. Also I have used a Puff in the bottom right hand corner of the page because this is going to be a fairly empty part of the page and I think that it would stand out. The cover is dominated by an image as this is the approach that all film publications adopt.
