Evaluation- Audience Feedback

After I had completed all three of course work media projects I came up with a list of questions concerning my course works.


MAGAZINE FEEDBACK: 

1. Do the conventions of my magazine make it look authentic? 
2. Should I have my central dominant image in character or out of character?
3. Does my magazine relate well to the teaser trailer and poster?
4. Should I have a colour scheme? 

The feed back I got from the audience was that I should have my character as Oscar Brody rather than Jimmy USA. Indeed they were right. Most of my researched magazines tend to have characters portayed as the actor. Also the use of colour scheme helped my magazine stand out more with the use of different colour banners. Also the conventions of my magazine did indeed help my magazine look authentic EG Barcode and banner use. 

TEASER TRAILER FEEDBACK: 

1. Do the conventions of my teaser trailer make the authenticity stand out?
2. Did the main character show a lot of relevance to America?
3. Did my teaser trailer show significant relevance to my poster and magazine 
4. Did the use of crops help my teaser trailer in terms of genre? 

The feedback I got from the audience was that regardless to how good the actor's accent was, in general he has been portrayed well as an American Stereotype. In particular, it was very helpful to have that shirt with the American flag on it. It helped portray the characteristics of his American being. 

FILM POSTER FEEDBACK: 

1. Do the conventions of the poster make it look like a mainstream film? 
2. Was the background in particular eye catchy? 
3. Did I have sufficient amount of conventions to make my poster look authentic 
4. Did my poster look relevant and significant in comparison to my teaser trailer and magazine? 

The answers I usually got were that the conventions were laid out well to make it look like as if it were a real poster. Furthermore it was a good idea to use the background as an American flag and make it standout.
