Review and poster;

I have created my own Rotten Tomatoes review percentage; 

This is the review I created inspired by the Rotten Tomato's website as it is where I would like my review featured, I tried to create the most similar website that I could but changed a few areas that I didn't like as much and I am now happy with how it looks. 

This is an example of where my poster would be exhibited;

magazine review;

Film reviews vary in different magazine companies, empire magazine is the most know. It uses a star method to rate the films out of 5.

I have chosen to place my review on a website such as Rotten Tomatoes, this is because i feel my review would fit in to this as it is between formal and casual. This is a shot of a thriller genre film on the website which has information about the running time ect and then short reviews.

Update;

I have now finished filming and plan to soon show my film to a focus group to get feedback on their opinions through a questionnaire, I am now looking in on how to word and place my magazine article so it fits an online layout and works with my film and poster. 

poster;

 These are examples of how i got to my final poster with different variations of writing and where the writing is placed;


My poster will be shown online on the side of websites, e.g; film websites and review websites and also as a postcard sized poster as i have planned my poster to be small in size. 

This is my final poster;
For my final poster i cropped an image that i took whilst filming so that it was focused upon the knife, I edited the cropped image to darken it, brighten the knife and make it a sharper image because i wanted a grainy dull effect. Also i used the burn tool around the edges to focus on the knife even more so that when the audience looks at it the knife is what their focus leads to. I then found a text which i felt fit with the genre and put the title in a dull red colour and the rest in white so they stand out. I made sure the names of the actor and actress were level in line with the ruler tool to make sure the poster was equal.   

My final poster after the improvements made from the opinions of my focus group;

Reflection;

I will have hopefully completed editing by the end of this week as i only have final tweaks to do, today i am going to start creating the final poster idea that i had and try complete that as soon as possible.

I need to;

create a focus group to gather feed back for my short film.

Write a rough review and complete the final one.
