After producing the final product alongside with the ancillary task, I decided that receiving feedback from several audiences was necessary. This is because I have to consider to make any changes as possible and to understand any improvements that I will try and overcome if I had the chance to repeat this project again.
Therefore the best solution I had
to receive feedback from audiences was to organise a face to face interview and
also managed to send my ancillary task alongside with eh final product on
hotmail to receive the feedback.
Feedback (Interview) – Minhaz Uddin
For the first feedback I have
managed to interview a friend of mine named Minhaz Uddin in which he
volunteered to provide a feedback of my final product aswell as the ancillary
task.
Film
Me: What are your thoughts
about the film?
Minhaz: By first viewing the
film I was very amazed and attracted with the opening sequence. The music and
the editing of the opening sequence was marvellous and I liked the way the CCTV
camera was being blurred as the music makes a deep drum noise which I thought
was very systematic and creative. The story plot was just simply magnificent,
its something that is basic like showing a group of girls drinking and bunking
of school however it manages to add in a more advanced sequence to the plot
where two of the group of girls realises they are dead at the end which is a
great way to present a film.
Me: What did you think of the
camera shots/angles?
Minhaz: Camera shots are
very smoothed and delicate, whoever was holding the camera they should receive
a massive credit. I really liked the way the camera shots of one of the girls
showing their hands that were covered with blood which actually freaked me out,
overall the other camera shots was executed very accurately.
Me: What do you think about
the cinematography of the film?
Minhaz: As explained before,
the editing of the CCTV at the opening sequence seemed very creative and most
importantly the cinematography of the scene where the two girls found out they
were shot was superb.
Me: Do you understand the
main plot of the story? Please explain what you think was creative of the plot?
Minhaz: As explained before
the story plot is easy to understand alongside with the characters motivation
such as the prefect which he seeks to have power and respect but most
importantly dominance over his victims. However in the middle of the film it
was confusing where one of the girls ended up in a classroom after collapsing
from one scene but in the end it all made sense which I then realised the girls
was murdered by the prefect.
Me: Is there any improvement
that needs to be done? Please justify?
Minhaz: I believe the film
is marvellous however I do believe that at the end I didn’t really see the
names on the paper because of the brightness so therefore this can be a problem
which needs to be solved.
Me: What ratings will you
give out of 10? Please explain why?
Minhaz: In my honest opinion I
would give it a 9.By first viewing the film it was simply amazing, the plot,
the editing used and also the acting seemed very professional however the only
reason why I have rated the film as a 9 is because it seemed very bright in
some of the scenes such as the classroom the scene did seem very confusing
overall the film was great and I really enjoyed it.
Film poster
Me: What first attracts you
by viewing this poster? Please justify
Minhaz: The prefect badge
which I thought was very creative, I liked the way it looks as though its been
painted red and been splashed abit around the object, just presents a more
funky look. I was very attracted to the ratings which make the film very
believable to be watched.Futhermore the way the colour used matched perfectly
such as the white and red colour used.
Me: Does it look
professional and creative? Please justify
Minhaz: The layout of the
prefect badge and also the position with the evident quotes ect seem very
professional and also creative of how the release of the film alongside with
the title is viewed on the badge.
Me: Do you think it matches
with the final product of the film? Please justify
Minhaz: It does match with
the final product as it includes the prefect badge and also how the rhetorical
device is used to show how the film is represented with a motivation.
Me: Is there any
improvements that needs to be done? Please justify
Minhaz: In my honest opinion I believe that apart from the
evident quotes and star ratings which are superb I believe that the film
distributors and more cast and directors’ name should be included onto the
poster which can at least endorse them to receive their credit and popularity.
Me: What ratings will you
give out of 10? Please explain why
Minhaz: I would give it an 8
because the poster looks magnificent the way the white and red was used
actually matched perfectly and also how you managed to promote the film by
including evident quote from magazine article is a beneficial way to make the
film very beleivble.However the poster does seem very ‘empty’ considering that there
isn’t enough casts and staff members that supported the film that should be
presented on the poster. Overall the poster seems very attractive and very
creative but it needs to include people who supported the films production.
Film review page
Me: What is your first
impression of the film review page?
Minhaz: My first impression
was the page does stand out with the use of red which is used to bring out
every strong impressive word.
Me: Does the layout and
structure seem professional or suit the gimmick of the film? Please justify
Minhaz: In my opinion the
layout is just basic and too typical of how most magazine would layout their
review page however the way you used the colour red was a great solution to
present the film as a more horror and thriller look because that’s the genre
that the film belongs to and it would make sense to include something that
stand out as thriller type of a film.
Me: Is the English
grammar/language very clear and easy to read? Please justify
Minhaz: The English grammar
and language is very understandable. Its very easy to read and to understand
how amazing the film is which makes it very believable, in comparison to other
film review magazines they sometimes used formal words that I don’t even understand,
to me I believe that every magazine should just get straight to the point such
as making expressive words stand out
that represents the films impression and to finalise it with an honest opinion.
Me :Is there any improvement
that needs to be done? Please justify
Minhaz: Just to add in, by
first viewing the page does seem very basic because of the layout in which on
most magazine is lay out very advanced so therefore I believe an improvement
that needs to be taken under consideration is to organise the layout and try
and include things that most popular magazine includes.
Me: What ratings will you
give out of 10? Please explain why?
Minhaz: I would certainly
give it a 7 because it does seem very basic because of the layout which must be
sorted out however on the positive side I liked the way the strong impressive
words stand out to provide a strong impression of the film and also liked the
way devices such as screenshots of films are included along side with details
of the film such as age, date realease, directors,evident quotes and star
ratings. Overall the film page is great in the terms of presenting a film that
involves with thriller and horror however the layout of the page is the only
consideration that needs to be sorted out.
Film feedback
This section will present the
feedback I have received on the final film product. For this feedback I
realised that it will more beneficial for myself to ask specific people who
either produced a film or had previously studied Media. This will allow me to
receive an understanding from those who had experience of filming and editing..
I have managed to receive two
feedbacks of my film from:
- Mohsin
Mohammed – Mohsin is a great friend of mine who previously studied
a-level media studies. I have managed to accomplish this method through
hotmail
- Faizal
Ahmed – is a great friend of mine who also studied media and is
currently stetting up his own business to for shooting and editing wedding
films. I believe it was a great idea to receive feedback from him since he
is very professional of taking camera shots/angles as well as editing
them. I have managed to receive feedback from Faizal through hotmail.
Film
poster
I also have managed to receive feedback on my
film poster. However for this process I have managed to ask:
- Imran bashir –who is my brother in which he is currently studying a degree in graphics in university. Therefore I believe it was a great idea to ask him because he’s very professional of using Photoshop and understand the meanings of the layout and structure of an image.Also able to indicate any problems of a poster that represents any category such as film since he also studied media at a-level.
- Ummad Ahmed – a brother of Faizal Ahmed who is currently studying
graphic design so therefore he also has the knowledge of developing a well structured and creative
poster.
- Mohsin Mohammed

feedback
“The layout is very
professional and is set out well. The bold block letters in red highlight the
descriptive words that best describe the film. The red once again symbolises
the sinister atmosphere of the film. The English and grammar is easy to
understand however there are a few places where certain words or descriptions
could be changed or left out. The pictures as well make it look more
professional and attracted me to wanting to view the review to improve i would
say maybe cut out some of the wording as it looks like a lot but overall its
good and well done. Out of ten i give it 7 as it does exactly what is should do
and overall it reviews the film and actors well the physical layout is
professional and eye catching but maybe some of the wording could be cut out”
