COMBINATION OF MEDIA PRODUCTS
For all of my products i want it based online. The main reason for this is because i believe my audience is mainly frequent online users and film fanatics constantly looking for a new film to watch. For this reason i believe it would be wrong to have it in stores for a CD purchase. So early on during the creation of this film i stated it would be smart to have NETFLIX as my distributor.
Strengths and weakness of each product.
REVIEW
I believe this is the weakest out of all of my ancillary products. The main problems i believe are my own personal writing skills and the structure.
I personally have always struggled to write well although getting my point across through text has not been a problem. To improve this skill would benefit this review greatly and i believe i could improve my language skills by adding more vocabulary.
The next poor point of this review is the asthetic structure. As i based this on a typical LOVEFILM review and i was very reluctant to change the review much after the class room discussion so i changed the title.
Poster.
I personally believe this is the 2nd most effective product as i do like the end result very much and works well as a teaser poster. But it's not without its problems. But i do like the colour scheme and the challenge of forms and conventions by it not looking like usual horror posters.
While having a class discussion there were some very valid points made and those points were that the posters text was not very well linked to the short film and it was hard to discover anymore about the film with just the poster at hand.
While trying to solve the text relevance problem i kept trying to think of a differnt phrase to use all together but as i kept think of new ones and adding it to the poster my class student still prefered the original text so i eventually solved the problem by making it the title of the film all together.
When trying to make links from the poster to the rest of the products i thought about using hashtags as currently much of the youth are using TWITTER and one of the biggest features of TWITTER is the use of hashtags so i incorporated it into my poster.
Shortfilm.
This is my favourite of all the products but i did not finish it quite fast enough so if i done it abit faster my problems i have could have been fixed.
My biggest issue i have is the title of my short film is overly zoomed in. The reason this was not resolved is because it was too late once i realised the issue was there. This is a very easy problem to fix fortunately if i had more time.
Audio is another major problem and i believe the main reason is because the program i was using to edit has issues with manipulating audio files on the timeline while importing new visual clips earlier. To solve any major problems i created the credits and main film seperately and then at the end published and re-published together in a new file.
