We received feedback from audiences on our magazine covers and posters that suggested adding more shadows to images for a more dramatic effect. Our initial mood board conveyed a sense of horror rather than thriller, so we changed it to include images representing kidnap, guns, and ropes. One response to our trailer suggested using dialogue to create more tension, while another proposed a non-linear structure. In general, feedback showed we made progress but could have included more settings to further engage viewers.

1. What have we learned
from our audience
feedback.

2. Magazine cover & Poster
For both our magazine covers and we
tried to stick to the codes and
conventions of our chosen genre
(Thriller).
When we enquired about the quality of
the images on both posters we got feed
back saying that the images would give
off a more dramatic effect if we added
more shadows.
Final Final

3. The mood board Dilemma
At first our mood board had more
images of horror though we wanted
our trailer to be a thriller. After we
were told that our mood board
conveyed a sense of horror we
knew we had to make some
changes.
After doing a more research on the conventions of
horror, we decided to use images of kidnap, gun,
ropes (iconography) etc

4. • We had a rough idea of what we wanted to achieve in our final
product.
• We learnt from our audiences response and improved on our initial
ideas. For example, we originally wanted to you Nicole shouting at
the end “Let me out of here” however the sound quality was very
poor and we had to take action.

•
At first we thought of rerecording
the voice but the quality wasn’t at
the standard that we wanted so we
opted to take that footage out.

5. Our group made a questionnaire
and we had a few of our peers
answer after watching our trailer.
Some of the questions on the
questionnaire asked about,
the conventions of thriller and
were they met?
Was the trailer easy to
understand and follow?
Did you enjoy watching the
trailer?
Many of the answers we had
gotten back were positive and we
felt as though we had
accomplished what we had set out
to. However we had some
negative response
One response that we had back was that
we should have used some dialogue to
create more tension and suspense which
would have given the audience a little
more background information about the
characters presented. Another was that
we should have used a non linear style to
construct the trailer.
Overall we were pleased with the reviews as it
showed that we had made progress in our work.
The Questionnaires

6. • After showing the same audience our finished products, we feel as
though we have developed on most of their original queries and
has even improved on them. However, there are some aspects we
would change or improve on even more. For example we would
have liked to include more settings in the video to gain extra
interest. This would engage the consumer more by having an
ongoing story to indulge in.
