Trailer Movie Night
After making out trailers we invited a test panel of 50 people to view our movie trailers. Having 25 males and females between the ages of 16 and 25 meant we could get honest feedback from our target audiences.
The Advertising
To advertise our event we made a poster which included all 4 of our posters on it. This was a good way of getting people interested in taking a ticket and turning up to our event. Having all 4 of our poster on it meant that if someone was interested in 1 poster they saw all the trailers on offer so we all got feedback.
Another way to attract people was to offer free refreshments. To thank the people for coming we put out some food and drink.
Feedback
After showing both the theatrical and the teaser trailer the audience said they preferred the theatrical trailer.

Planning Music for Trailer
I plan to create my music either on a piano or using the Apple software, garageband.
The music will be spooky and supernatural and used as a current piece through my trailer.

Props
I intend to use a minimal amount of props.
I plan to only use 2 props in my trailer.
I will use a scarf as a prop. This prop will be used when the killer tries to grab at the girl and she runs off.
I will also use a random plank of wood. I intend to use this as a weapon in the girl’s escape.

Feedback - Social Network
I was pleased with the feedback from the social networking sites as it meant that I could easily edit things that I needed to with clear instructions as to what people in my target market thought.

My Magazine Cover - Pre-feedback
This is my final magazine cover. It mainly advertises my film 'The Watching'
and in creating it I have tried to stick to the codes and conventions of a real film magazine.
and in creating it I have tried to stick to the codes and conventions of a real film magazine.Codes and Conventions
When I looked at both Empire and Total Film magazine covers I realised that they contain a lot of information. This can be through pictures or text. I felt that conforming with both magazines on the amount of information I included was important. If I decided to promote only one movie to attract my target audience it would be risky strategy as not everyone likes the same movie.
I decided also that the main image should be of just one figure from my film. Modern film magazines tend to have one actor on the front cover. When I was desiging the cover I originally decided not to have any other image i.e the background, but upon closer inspection of magazine covers saw that the cover often contains an action scene or a setting from the film. Using the glass from the shelter in my poster makes the magazine look clearer and keeps a continuity with my poster.
Layout
The layout was something else that kept with the codes and conventions of a popular film magazine. I didn't think creating a layout too different from Empire or Total Film would be wise as it's now recognised for how film magazines set out their covers.
My cover contains a strip along the bottom with a couple of images of a girl. I liked this idea of a strip to promote other movies on both Empire and Total Film but encorporated the idea of having it for a D.I.Y film article instead.
