Audience feedback; As I have completed my ancillary texts, my teaser trailer, and I have completed my full trailer (I just need to make a few adjustments to it from the feedback of my trailer) I have made a questionnaire on audience feedback. I am going to target women from the age of 20-45 as that is the target audience for my film trailer, so therefore the questionnaire is aimed at them. However I am going to ask some women under the age of 20, as it would benefit my final product to receive some of their feedback. I am also going to ask some young men as I feel their feedback would be beneficial, as it would help me reach a wider audience. I have come up with 15 questions to ask my target audience, and the 15 questions are;

1. Did you enjoy the romcom trailer?


2. Did you understand the plot/story of the film trailer?


3. Did you feel the trailer gave to much away about the plot?


4. Did you feel the characters represented the genre?


5. What did you feel towards the female protagonist?


6. Did you feel the taglines benefited the trailer, and were necessary to the trailer?


7. Did you feel the scenes/shots represented the genre?


8. Did you feel the effects of the trailer (dissolves) were appropriate, or did they now work with the final product?


9. Did you feel the music represented the genre?


10. Did you like the different changes in music?


11. Did you feel the male protagonist was in the trailer enough, or too much?


12. Did you feel the voice over was appropriate for the trailer; or not?


13. Do you prefer a female voice over or male voice over?


14. What was your favourite part about the trailer?


15. Did the trailer appeal to you?

Media Evaluation: I have begun my media evaluation, which is based on this coursework. We were given four questions to address in the evaluation, and these four questions are;

1. In what ways does your media product use, develop, or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?


2. How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?


3. What have you learned from your audience feedback?


4. How did you use new media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?

Teaser trailer second draft:
Improvements to teaser trailer;

I have adjusted my teaser trailer and used the suggestions my media teacher has given me, as this will imrove my trailer; and make it seem much more sophisticated and proffessional.

First draft: Full trailer



This is the first draft of my film trailer, however it is still not finished as I just need to add a few more shots in the black spaces.
The shots I am putting in are shots containing the characters actually speaking, as most romcom trailers have the characters speaking in them. The characters speaking in the trailer also helps the audience with the narrative of the film.
The voice over at the beginning is also going to be changed, as I feel it doesn't really work with the story of the trailer, and I think using a different voice will be more appropriate for the trailer. I am also going to add the voice over on all my taglines not just the first two, as this adds continuity to my trailer.

Feedback: teaser trailer;
This is the feedback I got from my media teacher about my film trailer.

• Split up my tagline, 'every girl' 'dreams' 'of finding' 'Mr Right'
• Change my title to make it more dynamic
• Add an extra tagline, i.e 'sometimes love is not a dream'
• Change the text what is white to black
• Make the name of the film much more of a focal point
• Change the review, as it doesn't really help with the narrative

I am going to take it all on board, as I feel if I make these adjustments to my teaser trailer, it will make for a better trailer. It will also make it seem much more of a proffessional romcom trailer.

First edit: teaser trailer;

This is the first edit of my teaser trailer.


For my teaser trailer I have taken some shots from my actual film trailer, but I have changed their order to make them seem much more exciting and dynamic.
I have chosen the song Lenka, which is the main song from my actual film trailer, and I have used it for this one, as it links with my other film trailer. It is also a song that represents the genre of romcoms, as romcoms usually have quite an upbeat, indie film to them; so therefore this song represents the genre of my film.
I have also chosen to add taglines in my teaser trailer, as they're a convention of romcom trailers, and are seen in most romcoms. But also they help convey the narrative to my audience. I have also chosen to have my tag line at the end which is promoting the release, these are seen in all film trailers; and are usually at the end of the trailer. These help promote your film, and let the audience know when the film is released, and they also usually have the website of the film on there as well. I have put the website of my film on there as it is another way of promoting my film, and it brings in more revenue to the film.

Front cover: finished product;

This is the finished version of my film magazine front cover.
The cover follows the conventions of having the masthead at the top of the page, as that makes it stand out, as if it were in a magazine rack you would then be able to see the title.

The date and price are also on my magazine following conventions, and I have found in my research that many film magazines and other genre's of magazines place the date under the masthead. However many have the price at the bottom of the magazine next to the barcode, I have decided to go against the convention by putting it at the top, as I feel it looks better there than at the bottom.

The coverlines are placed on both sides, as during my research of film magazines I found that many including TotalFilm put coverlines on both sides. I have decided to do this as it makes my magazine seem much more proffesional, and the content of my magazine much more richer than if I used just one side. Also it allows me to put more stories on the front page.

The image is in the middle of the cover which again follows conventions, as most magazine covers have their image in the centre of the cover; taking up most of the space. This therefore allows my image to be the main attraction to the cover, and influences my readers to buy the magazine.
