Unused/Unsuccessful Shots:

As well as displaying the shots i used within my trailer, i thought it would be a good idea to also include the shots i did not use, as this shows that i know what looks good and what does not. These are all shots which did not meet my standards for whatever reason, whether that be that it was too blurry, out of focus, the shots were accidentally taken, my model was laughing, or i just decided to not include it within the finished product.

Reacting to my peer assessment feedback:

After looking at my peer assessment feedback, the main thing i felt that needed to be changed was my blog layout, as it did not fit in with the horror theme. Below i have included screenshots of what my blog looked like before and after changing the layout to make it more suitable to my target audience.


This is a screenshot of what my blog looked like before the feedback....

...and here is a screenshot after i changed the layout.

By changing the background from a floral print to a misty, dark environment, the layout of my blog already looked more suitable. From here i also changed the font for the title, the blog text and the post titles; instead of having a friendly bubble font, it is now quite basic, and looks a lot more professional in my opinion. I also changed the font colour from light blue to dark shades of browns and blacks in order to match my background. I personally prefer my blog a lot more now compared to what it looked like before, as it is a lot more genre appropriate.

Peer Assessing Eachother's Blogs:

In order to get a sense of how well we are doing with our blogs, we went around each computer in the class and wrote two positives and one improvement on post-it notes in order to give each other some critical and supportive feedback.

Below is a scanned image of the post-it notes that other people have written about my blog.

Overall the feedback i have received is quite positive. 

The main positive point i received was that my blog is informative and detailed, which is useful because i put a lot of effort into my posts, so i am glad that this effort has reflected into my work.

Also, a lot of people stated that they thought my planning was quite good.

My main improvement point is that i need to consider my font. i think this is mostly because the font on my blog, at the minute, does not suit the genre of my film trailer. 

As well as this peer assessment, i have also added my own post-it note to this collection, where i have self assessed my work. I followed the style of the previous notes by adding two positive points and one area for improvement. this post-it note is shown below.

For the positive points, i have highlighted that my time management has been consistent throughout my blog, because after every couple of posts, i have stated how well i was doing for time. For my improvement, i have agreed with my peer feedback by saying that the layout of my blog needs to fit more in with my theme/genre. This is because the light blue flowers and soft bubble writing doesn't match the dark horror theme of my film trailer and ancillary tasks. 

Final Outcome - Film Magazine:

This is the finalized design for my film magazine cover. Overall i am quite happy with it and i think it looks a lot like what i had originally planned, however i think some feedback will help me with deciding whether or not anything needs to be changed around etc.

Final Outcome - Poster:

This is the finalized design for my film poster. Overall i am quite happy with it and i think it looks a lot like what i had originally planned, however i think some feedback will help me with deciding whether or not anything needs to be changed around etc.
