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

To present my answer this question, I used the website Prezi. Here is the link to my answer:

Evaluation Question 2: How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?

Evaluation Question 3: What have you learned from your audience feedback?

We posted our trailer on YouTube so people could view our trailer and give us feedback on it. We then would post the link for it on Facebook and also on Twitter so more people could view it and share the opinions on it. The feedback we received helped us discover the flaws in the trailer so for the next draft it could be improved.

Here are some examples of comments that were posted on the first and second draft of our trailers. This qualitative data helped improve our final products as we gained the opinions of people 

After it was uploaded to YouTube, the link to the video was posted on my Facebook profile. This gave the trailer a wider audience and it was open to comments, and here are some examples. They were constructive comments and helped with the process of re-editing.

The link for the video was also ‘Tweeted’ on Twitter to allow more people to view it and here are some of the replies from people who wanted to share their views on the trailer.

I used the website Wordle to create a word cloud for the feedback I received for my Film Poster and Magazine cover.

Final Trailer Draft

After receiving feedback from our first draft we planned on improving our trailer, re-editing it and even re-shooting some camera footage. Here is the final draft of our Teaser Trailer for the film 'Death Town'

Here is a short video presentation containing some screenshots from the trailer with some annotations analysis the production of our trailer including how/why we edited/filmed it:

Film Magazine Cover - Analysis

After creating my film poster, I focused on the making of my film magazine cover, which features 'Death Town'. The magazine 'CINEMAD' contains an interview with the lead actor and in recognition of the film, it is a horror special edition, and the house style of the magazine has been adapted to follow the light/blue and black colour scheme of our film concept.

Here are some annotations explaining how I made the cover and the reasons behind my design:
