Ask three potential audience members. The focus must be on your design, not the idea for the film.
Write their responses below.

(only show the synopsis at this stage)
From reading the synopsis for the film, what genre of film do you think it is? Please give reasons for your answer.
1. Crime, as it included elements like weapon manufacturing company and rural area etc.
2. Crime, because the main character involves into crime incident as the story goes along.
3. Drama, because the storyline focus on the main character and how things around her changes as it goes on.
What impression do you get regarding the possible poster for the film? Think about what you would normally expect on a poster for this kind of film.
1. I would use dark colours like black as the theme colour, as it represents the crime that happens in the film.
2. I expect that only one person will appear on the poster as she is the main character, which shows that the storyline mainly focuses on the main character.
3. I expect that the poster would make the viewers feel the mysterious atmosphere.
(show your designs now)
What are your first impressions of the poster and DVD cover? Please consider the following in your answer: Choice of image / choice of fonts / colour scheme used / page layout.
1. The font must not be dull and boring, and so the font need to be stand out and look unique .
2. The key image must shows the mysterious and unpredictable side of the character.
3. The colour scheme must be dark colour like black or grey, to present the dark side of crime.
From your knowledge of the synopsis, do you think the poster drafts suit the film? Please give reasons with regards to the designs.
1. We can only see the main character’s back instead of her face which creates mysterious atmosphere.
2. You can tell that the movie was about the character, but it is not clear enough to know what is going to happen to her.
3. You can’t really tell it is exactly a crime film, because the poster didn’t present crime elements like weapons etc.
Through the feedback, i would do changes to my poster, such as to add more elements in it to show that it is a crime movie, so my target audience would clearly notice that it belongs to crime genre, through the presentation of my poster shows the theme of crime.
And the audience would also notice that by using dark theme colour, only show the back of the main character without seeing her face which creates mysterious and unpredictable side, also using unique font to make it look more stand out, is to suit the theme of crime and to get their attention towards it.
