Evaluation Queston 1: In what ways does your media products use, develop and challenge forms and conventions of real media products

Research and Planning: Ausience Feedback

My audience on facebook, made up of my friends aged between 16 and 19 (my target audience) said they like the Magazine cover a lot because of how professional looking it was, though they also suggested my model should have smiled, which I stopped him from doing since he was a villainous character within the trailer.

The poster was not recognised as a poster by one person, which was disappointing because I felt it looked good and clear. One fault with this however was that I could not make the bracelet clear enough as one of the people giving me feedback suggested.

Research and Planning: Poster Development

Today I have been adjusting features within my poster, making the fonts into capitals to look more like a horror genre, changing the gradients in order to create a darker effect overall and tampering with the bracelet and positioning to show that the main character is the central focus, whilst also showing the narrative of being hunted for a bracelet since I have the bracelet directly behind him. I also changed the slogan to "THEY ALL WANT IT" since there is no images of Leya that I was able to get hold of, and this matches the trailer.

Research and Planning: Editor's Log

Today I have edited the colour of the daytime shots within the film, because they looked too light and do not fit well enough with a horror genre. After tampering with brightness settings I found the scenes to them have too prominent colours within themselves, so I changed the saturation on multiple scenes to create are more grainy looking effect.
