Tadiwa's A2 media

In regards to my feedback, I have made a survey for my film and my poster and shared it through social media, as audience feedback is very important in order for me to look back on my work. I have sent my survey onto social media where I am more likely to get viewers who have never seen the film or the progress towards it and viewers within my target audience seeing as most people who use social media for a majority of the time are teenagers and young adults. I have managed to get some results, but this was from a small sample due to the fact that many people may have not had enough time to watch the short film and do the survey, or due to the fact that most people find survey's to be irritating and a waste of time.  Below are the questions and results of the questions I have asked to my audience.I felt that it was important to ask questions that looked at the audience's interpretation of the film and their general opinion, so that I am able to see whether my film satisfied

The main focus for my film was the gap under the bed because not only is it the title; it is also where the main antagonist is located and filmed from. It is an out-of-place area within a normal environment such as home, I have used this to make sure that the audience can feel paranoid when looking at the gap because of how something so simple can still be terrifying when looking at it from a different perspective. I've made sure that my ancillary tasks followed that focus in order for my audience to be able to connect them to my film. My film poster definitely follows this, seeing as the main image is of the gap itself. The colours used are quite dull and dark to follow the colour scheme of the film seeing as the film has a dull filter over it.  The gap has been enhanced so that it is the main focus of the page as it is more dark than the surrounding area. It gives the poster a more eerie sense seeing as no one knows what's in the gap.  In terms of composition of the imag

For my double page spread, I have decided to follow the "on location" format of Empire magazine. But I have changed it in small ways. I have made sure that the colour scheme follows the Empire colour scheme but it uses colours that are used in horror as well, seeing as the film is in that genre.  The main image takes up one page to show the importance of the girl as the protagonist of the film and it includes a small map with the location and the name of the film under it, which has been used on the Empire on location magazine. On the image is the beginning of the article in the form of 3 columns and this will continue on the other page with 3 more columns. The article explains how the idea for the film formed and what made the director choose her location; however, it is worded as if it were an interview with quotes from the director and it is in 3rd person narrative as if the reporter was talking to their audience. The second page also includes a pull quote stating t

Gap

This is my final film poster design, I used Photoshop and Pixlr to design and edit it and I took my own picture for it. This is the original photo for it and as you can see, I've edited the video in order for it to look more horror based. I faded the image from below the gap into black just like the mirrors poster I looked at before and I have darkened the image to make it more sinister. In terms of composition of the image, I made sure that the positions of the bear was towards the centre of the bed and I used a teddy bear to show that this film will be based within a child's room.  Looking at the poster, the area around the gap is enhanced because the film is heavily based around the gap under the bed, and it would make sense to show it on the poster. However, it doesn't reveal much of the plot, so suspense can be created from the poster. I have picked a dark colour scheme to follow the conventions of the horror poster and made sure that the title was larg
