Below is the final film trailer. I have taken into considerations the feedback from the third draft of the trailer such as adding certification at the beginning, adding a foley to the footsteps, etc, therefore, I believe that the trailer has followed the conventions of a thriller genre and would appeal to our desired target audience.
Here is the final magazine cover I have created as part of the ancillary task. I have carefully crafted the product in order for it to be suitable for my target audience and follow the conventions of a thriller genre. Refer to this post to see the editing process of the magazine cover.
Following the previous post, below is a summary of the audience feedback I have acquired in order to guide me on what to improve or add on.
Add intriguing coverlines to capture a wider range of audience's attention (eg: behind-the-scenes of the film or exclusive interview with one of the main character's)
Change the font for the word 'kill' to a more daring and sinister font or add a blood splatter/ gun shot to entice the audience
Increase the exposure of the image and decrease the saturation to make the image fit the convention of the low key lighting of a thriller genre.
I will be taking into consideration all 3 feedback but mainly focus on the first two comments as I think these will truly capture the eye of my target audience and successfully fit the conventions of a thriller/crime genre.
