Film Review (Draft #1)


This is the 1st draft of my film review, it is merely just the layout as the film review itself is still in the works. However based from this draft I already gathered some constructive criticism, overall the design works well and the way images from the media product have been incorporated in the review. The main comment made is regarding the selection of font for the text within the plot, it appears difficult to read and therefore must be altered.  

I will be adding the film review soon after I have made changes to the rest of the layout.

Feedback (Analysed)

The feedback I had received from my screening was extremely constructive, identifying was works and what doesn't. Not only did I learn that my media product is succeeding it it's ability to engage the viewers with the story and characters but that audiences are enjoying the product. These praises have been heavily geared towards the dark and grounded style behind the narrative but also the love towards the office sequence; the positive feedback also justifies my influences towards my decision to cancel the director's cut of my product. However there are some aspects that need adjustments such as the sound and particular shots such as the slo-mo shots; this will inform my decisions within the next few edits of my product.

Test Screening, Focus group & feedback!

I recently had a test screening where the third rough cut of my project was presented to a focus group, feedback was gathered from the screening and which I gained a positive review with some constructive criticism that will influence the next cut of the project.

Director's cut CANCELLED!

After looking through my 3rd rough cut, I have decided to cancel my plans to create a director's cut. This decision was based due to discussions and feedback given from the previous rough cuts, as my intentions with the director's cut was to include the office sequence in a seperate edit of the product entirely. However based from the overwhelming reaction to that particular sequence in the product has made me decide to have include it inthe final cut whilst trimming shots down in order to keep the media product at an effective pace.

Over the next few draft I plan to finalise the edit in terms of trimming the timeline and adjusting the sound mix in addition to the colour grading.

Poster Draft #2 (Comments from teachers)

The initial thoughts on the 2nd draft of my poster is that it's layout is effective, particularly due to the improvements made to the previous draft. These improvements made to the edit of the outlines with the main subject; another improvement made was on the font sizes. However in regards to this draft, I still need to make adjustments to the different fonts and single them down to at maximum of two.
