Additional Feedback print tasks



Feedback

 Magazine poster
To cluttered need to space out writing as it looks to compact and confusing to the audience
Improved better structure- make more space better layout
More insight into Electrio more of a promotion of our film
Inserted created images instead of using original images to improve marks
Images of other films make it make more authentic however use our own productions instead of these online images
Three different fonts- change cartoon font looks un professional and random doesn’t fit with magazine, doesn't fit with other fonts gives a different feel to the audience more childish less serious and dramatic
The layout is fuller
The target audience – teenagers- youthful
Title is effective and tag line is appropriate and looks professional
Banner faded effect looks effective
Images look effective however there not our material need to create own images and material- add snapshots of our own created films to promote them.
Electrio title looks effective and suits the lightning in the background
Make magazine price smaller to fit other information so that it’s like professional magazines
Change bottom left magazine details, give reader a better idea of what to expect in the magazine, give more information.
Misspelt denero./ change to Denero talks- Jamie bell is a dad needs to change seems like something in a celebrity magazine not a film magazine.  Tom cruise sub line is effective can be kept however say what his new film is.



Poster
Title text looks really professional
Facebook and twitter references give a professional standard using social media to promote our film
Credit block looks professional however names need to be changed
Need to add website of film
Eyes have changed gives audience a defined understanding of the difference in characters
Add impulse into production companies to reference to our film company
Add apostrophe to Storms punctuation mistakes
Much more professional
Synergy across products needs to be thought about maybe keep fonts similar
Add a spark of after effect onto the end of our title – gleam or charge running through it to emphasis the title being linked to lightning and electricity.

Poster
Add credit block to add conventions of professional film poster
Change the Logo – add production companies so that it mirrors conventions on professional film poster
Change the font as it gives the audience mixed concepts; instead add a font that relates more to lightning and electricity

Add distribution and Production Company.

                                                                    Magazine cover
Uneven layout change the layout so that is more of a structured layout that is clearly laid out and looks professional instead of a layout that is all over the place and fonts are at different sizes

Tone down the  teeth as they look to white as the colour has been enhanced, so dull down the contrast so the teeth aren’t so eye catching

Change bar code so that it is more of an appropriate size and it is in the conventional place of other popular and professional film magazines

Change date (Issue number or monthly mag?) so that it seems like it’s part of many issues and to create the sense of a mainstream film magazine that is on sale to the public

Change ‘First glance’ to Preview so that it is allot clearer what your poster is actually going to consist of.
Add apostrophe to “cinemas’s” so that it is spell correct and there are no punctuation mistakes in our poster is that it is more like a professional standard magazine

Storms into the cinemas – change ‘prepare for the Electrio storm’
Kick ass 2 change- add your own created images and films otherwise it is taking original copyrighted images
Prices- need to be added so that the audience know how much the magazine costs and so that we are following the conventions of professional film magazines
Change the sentence about the interview to something that is much clearer for the audience to understand so they know exactly what is in the magazine if they were to purchase it.

Poster Fourth Draft



Improvements from last draft
Added a Credit block below the Title which was missing in the last draft which we used as most posters have them.Furthermore, the production company "Cold Stone" and Distribution company 'Impulse Inc' have both been added to follow the conventions of a real film poster.In addition, we've added social media to the poster with the twitter hash tag to get the poster trending and also the Facebook site. I've also changed the font used for the title which is 'Richter' which aids the electric feel we need to get across. Also we've added 'A storms coming' as a little phrase for a poster.Made the eyes on the character have colour of either red or blue depending on if they evil(red eyes) or good (blue eyes). Lastly, I changed the colour correction on the characters illuminated to a more grey and colourless feel which carries on the theme of the gloominess of the poster.

Third Draft


Improvements from last draft
Changed the background completely and used one of the photo's from our location shots to place in the background. Only used white lightning as red and blue looked tacky. Added the website aswell as when the film is in theatres.

Electrio Poster Layout #2

We thought we'd mix things up and make a start on a different looking poster. We came to the conclusion this this didn't work because it doesnt look like it is or could become a film poster. It was also harder too see potential of improvements so we decided to abort this layout and continue with the first layout.

2nd Draft of Film Poster

This is the second draft of the poster. I altered the text to 'Blade' which gives it a more scary feel. I also added a little phrase "When does a gift turn into a curse", this is relevant to our film as we get gifted with powers after being hit by lightning yet 'Lucas' turns evil against his will. I placed
 Furthermore I added a little logo above the I  after taking consideration of the Fantastic 4 poster analysis where they have there own logo.
