What Have you Learnt From Your Audience Feedback?
After completing the final peice of our A2 media project, the main thing you want is a good audience feed back. After the feedback we recieved, it allowed us to focus on the negatives of the project and to take credit for the positives in the work. After the research we did on our questionaires, we knew what people liked and disliked in films, so therefore we could give them the best of what they wanted overall. After the final questionaire that was handed out, which we felt crucial to us, we recognised that our film would be better for a small independant cinema, rather than a big multiplex cinema. With that time and equipment that we had, I believe this is quite a positive feedback to us, and if we want a bigger film then we would have to have a lot more time to think and plan about it. Overall, I believe that I have learnt that our 3 projects we have done were quite successful and our audience feedback came back the same as we'd hope to have, the audience were happy with the 3 projects we did, and so was we

Texual Analysis of the film
Looking back at our film as a group, we feel that we should have spent a lot more time planning and preparing instead of on-the-spot thinking about what to do. Locations were another thing we should have thought about better, we could have used better locations that were more suitable to the film if we had thought and prepared. The major disadvantage we had was time to film, because of the actors busy schedual, we had very limited time to film our project. But overall i believe that the film was quite successful with what we had. I think the acting itself was good and the editing was good and worked well with the film.
Film Review
Here is our finished review that we wish to publish in the more indie film magazines such as 'Little White Lies', 'Vertigo Films' and 'Indie Wire' whose target audiences are niche audiences who prefer independant films to the more popular, mainstream blockbusters. We created this review for our own film magazine 'Slice of Cinema' using what ideas we had discovered in other film reveiws of this kind. We found that they were more simplistic in there layout and tried to keep images to a minimum, often only using a key still in a film or the films poster image. As you can see we have kept with the colour theme of reds and blacks still to match to our poster making it look more professional and more like a combined product. We kept with adding an overall rating to our film as people can see just from the 5 star rating just how good a film is or not without having to go into depth and read the whole review. We also included the films weblink at the bottom of the page for people who become interested to find out more from, this is typical feature often used to give people the option for more facts.

Film Poster
Shown is our completed poster for our film 'Marilyn'. One slight change has been made since the taking of this photograph and that is the age certificate in the bottom right hand corner. Instead of it being classified for 18 and above it has now been certified for 15 and above after numerous participants in our feedback groups felt that this age would also be suited to the film's violence and that it would also broaden our audiences in cinema, boosting sales. We decided to use a variety of different fonts that matched our chosen genre such as calligraphy writing in the films title; 'Marilyn' and a typewriter style font for our production companys name and web address, to link with the detective theme.
In order to become eye catching to our audience, we chose a strong white backdrop so not to loose attention of Marilyn being the main focal point in the poster. We also used strong, harsh colours such as reds and blacks to indicate negativity and to simplistically connote blood and death.
Adding the two ratings either side of the photo gives other people's trusting views and opinions on the film, as we realised most people today rely on other forms of media to tell them whats good and whats not. This is because people today are sucked into this whole idea that the media are right when it comes to opinions on other forms of media and so this where the hypodermic needle theory steps in.

Finished Film
Below is our completed film 'Marilyn' We tried to keep to the codes and conventions of Film Noir to keep the realism of the film, this was acheived by costume, props, storyline, sound and camera.
Textual Analysis
Looking back at our film we as a group feel more time should have been spent planning and preparing our locations and set so that we were able to get the best out of our filming time and also we gave a more realistic approach to creating a 1940s time period. However the editing has made up for the lack of focus on set design and created a visually entertaining piece of cinema. If we were to do the project again we would assign fixed jobs to each of the members in the group so the work was done thoroughly and to a perfectionists standards. It would also allow more time to do anything that had been forgotten or put aside and avoid any last minute rushing around, that has been apparent this time around
