audience feedback from poster

I created my magazine front cover on photoshop and posted my final product onto twitter and facebook to get some feedback on how to improve it. 

Sam said he likes:

• myth font

however sam said he would improve:

• make it bolder
• make the main actress the selling point
• take a low angle shot of the windmill
• write a creepy rhyme or poem about the myth
• use the universal font on dafont.com for the directors and producers etc. 
• move text away from main image

Jodie said she likes:

• how the girl looks ghost like by the fading
• font matches the other fonts on magazine - makes them follow and connect

however she said i could improve by:

• put coming soon in capitals
• made out the logo to make it look less harsh

I poster my poster and magazine front cover on twitter together and got some audience feedback

• Haley thought my poster was good
• Lauren thought my poster was very good and I don't need to change anything
• Laura thought my poster was good and I don't need to change anything
• Sophie thought my poster was good

I also interviewed Tricia Davison to see what she thought about my poster and magazine front cover
She liked:

• colours
• layout
• she thought is was easy to read
• eye catching
• she thought it was intriguing - it makes you want to know what the film is about and why you want to watch it
• she also managed to work out the story line by the poster and magazine front cover

Although she said many good points about my poster and magazine front cover, she also disliked and things to improve on:

• who the main character is in the film
• she wants to know more about the child
• she thought i need to try and put a connection between the poster and the magazine front cover to know that they are linked and relate to each other
• she also thought that i could make up an interview with a famous star to lure more potential audience in and persuade them to watch it. 

I got some more feedback and she said that the narrative isn't fully clear, therefore I need to provide some backstory as in who is the girl? and what is the myth? She also said that I should look at Candy man and bloody mary to link my trailer and storyline to a professional one and do some more additional research. She also thought the acting was weak at the start and not serious therefore I need to change the opening shots. She also thought I should bring the urban legend idea into my trailer to make the characters more fearful. I also need more fast paced action shots to provide sense of disequilibrium, And finally I need to enhance the soundtrack to make it look more scary and some heightened diegetic sound effects.
