Using my feedback to improve my ancilarys

In my feeback people suggested that i change the lightness of my film poster to create more of an effect. I changed the tone that was used in my poster to match my poster with the trailer, in terms of teasing the audience.

Change the tone of this image make the viewer really look at the image to find out what it could be about, it also gives the viewer a deeper insight to what the film could be about.

















In my feedback people also gave me different advise on how to improve my magazine front cover. I will take onboard all the advise that has been given to me and apply it to my film magazine front cover.

When looking back over my film magazine front cover it straight away became obvious to me that it was lacking much need detail to make it look more realistic. I will also seprate the image from the background to create layers which most film magazine front covers have.

To add different effects to both my film magazine front cover page and my film poster i will use either Paint.Net or www.picknik.com to get the best effects and make both my magazine front cover and my film psoter more detailed.

Using my feedback for my Ancillarys

This is the film poster for American Psycho. With my feedback for my film poster one of my e-mail contacts suggested taking advise from this film poster; American Psyscho. Although the "American" part of the title is very simplistic similar to my film poster; Runaway, i could take insperation from the "Pyscho" part. Although i would not use this font directly, i could change the font from Times New Roman to a more effective font.












This is the film magazine; Total Film that is advertising Harry Potter. With this film magazine the image is layered with the different text that is included in the magazine poster. Because the backgroud colour is bright red, the white text also has a red outline to it, so therefore it makes it look different to my magazine front cover because my magazine front covet is the whole image across the whole page, on reflection this makes my magazine front cover look more professional like it could be a magazine front cover that is on the current film magazine market.



I particularly like this film magazine front cover because it has the more of an effect. Comparing my film magazine to this film magazine of Max Payne mine is more bland and does not stand out where with the image in Max Payne jumps out at you and makes it look very effective. Although this film magazine front cover uses darker colours the yelloe titles of what else is included in the film magazine stands out asw well as the image.

How to get audience feedback on my ancillary products

Now that i have created my first drafts for my anillary products i need to find out what my protential audience think about them. The best way for me to get audience feedback is to e-mail the poster and magazine front cover to different people in my e-mail contacts and ask them to send me back their views and opinions on how they think i can improve my ancillary products.

With the film poster people e-mailed me with advise to use for how they would like to see the film poster compared to other film posters that have been on the market already.

"You should make the film poster darker, as currently you can see the image in the poster in detail, it will make it look more interesting if you have to think about what is happening in the film poster it will make it more interesting".

"The text is bold simplistic style, i rarely see this in film posters as they have little details added to them, like films American Psycho, although this is a psyscholgical thriller film you could still take insperation from the way the film title lay out".

"There is not alot of of imformation of the fim poster try including the main editors, supporting actors, dirtor, producer, screen writer and any other key crew members".

"Nearly every single film poster that i have seen contains the film certificate on it".

With the film magazine people also e-mailed me with advise about how i can improve the film magazine front cover to make it look more similar to film magazine front covers that are currently on the market.

"The film magazine is very basic and although it does include some information about what else is inside the film magazine".

"Include more layers in your film magazine front cover similar to what Total Film Magazine use".

"On the magazine include your films tag line".

"The film magazine does not really say what the film is about, you could do this by trying to isolate the main image with a different background".

Name's for Magazine Front Cover

For my film magazine front cover i have two options in terms of names. My first option is to use a well know magazine name such as Empire or Total Film. My second option is to use a less well known film magazine name such as Electric Sheep.

Using well known film magazines names has the advantage that you can can have images part the way over the film name because the film magazine is well known, so their audience is already established.

If you use the less well film magazines then although you have the adavantage of pulling in new audiences, it is best that you leave the film magazine title name free from images because you want new people to buy the magazine and if the title is left free than more people are likely to buy it.

Upon considering both options for my magazine front cover page i think it is best for me to use a well known film magazine for my film magazine front cover ancillary product. The reason for this is because i want to be able to use images that can stretch over the title to make full use of the magazine front cover.

Ancillarys

When i produce my film poster and a magazine front cover. Before i create my poster and magazine front i need to consider if i am going to use an image (a still shot)from my teaser trailer, or if i am going to use new images. Because of photo quality i decided to use new images that had not be included in my teaser trailer.

For my teaser film poster i am going to use a photograph of the child running away. This will be hard to create because i must ensure that the quality is of a high standard because i want it to look professional. For my magazine front cover i am going to use a still shot taken with a proffesional photographers camera this will make the photo look more effective, and the detail will be better.

There are some things for both the magazine front cover and the teaser film poster that i will have to ensure that i keep the same, these include:

- The font and colour of the film

- The same sort of colours for the image (it wouldn't work if the film poster is a a light colour and the magazine front cover is a dark colour).
