Further progress - Website homepage

Website homepage progress

Above is a few screen shots of my website homepage in progress. Before this project, I had never used Wix before. As I progressed in editing my website homepage, I found that this website builder was fairly easy to use and once I had learned how to use each tool, I found constructing my website homepage a very creative and enjoyable process. I am pleased with the progress of my website homepage and will continue to add more conventions, images and text until I am sure that the end results look professional, appropriate to my genre, and carrying the same theme as my poster and trailer.

Trailer - first draft

Above is my first draft of my trailer. I showed this version of my trailer to the class members that were part of my target audience. Below is the feedback that they gave:

This feedback helped me massively as, although there were issues present that I was aware of, having more viewing opinions highlighted problems that I had not considered myself. When gaining this feedback, I realized that the two most highlighted areas were the problems with sound issues, and the fact that my trailer somewhat resembled more of a short film due to too much of the plot being hinted, and giving too much away. I was well aware that there were sound issues due reoccurring problems I kept enduring on Premier Pro and when indeed filming, yet having more opinions confirmed that these sound issues were something that needed work improving. In terms of my trailer resembling a short film and steering away from the trailer form, this is a problem that I had not yet considered, yet looking back on my first draft, is a viable point and needed to be amended. Other than these improvements, my class responded in a positive way and confidently gave me positive feedback. This confirmed that I had constructed a trailer appropriate for my target audience.
When it came to amendments, from this feedback I intend to:

• Replace title slides that give too much away with a Daily Mail review
• Not make it clear that only one is left (giving away plot)
• Add faster clips present for a shorter period of time to create fast paced trailer action
• Amend sound issues

Age classification - 15

I have decided to make my film/trailer an aged 15 classification. Below is a voice memo of me talking about this decision:
