Film poster vote

From the result of the Google Forms I can see that each poster got rather similar votes. Through this voting system it therefore allows me to see that there is a potential to incorporate elements of each design in my final film poster in order to please my target audience following the research I have carried out.

Teacher feedback 2

Following prior feedback from my teacher I have completed the tasks set out for me to do so. However, on this occasion I have been advised to add greater depth to my organisation and time management. Therefore this is now something that I will focus on when continuing with work on my blog. I will also check that feedback and posts saved as drafts are posted to the blog.

Film poster feedback

From the feedback made on my three roughly designed posters I have been given both positive and negative effects of all of these posters and will now work towards making them better. The most popular design was the third design which incorporated an illustration of the skull due the abstract design, however other comments about the other posters commented on the good use of Photoshop in the other two. This therefore means that I could potentially make a fourth poster after getting further answers on a favourite design which incorporates a few good features from each design. 

Film Review feedback

 Through the feedback I have received on my film review I have noticed that I will need to make a few subtle tweaks to the layout in order to make it appear as professional as possible and make sure that the alignments are as intended. As well as this, a few grammatical errors have been spotted due to changing the layout of the text itself and therefore this also needs to be corrected.

Film posters of films that are about schizophrenia

The posters shown below are based around films in which the main protagonist is suffering from Schizophrenia, as my groups film is. Through researching into these posters I was able to notice that they were extremely abstract and featured a very dark colour palette in order to represent the depressing moods of the film. This is something that I will therefore look to recreate when making my own poster as this would therefore link to the theme of the schizophrenic posters well.
