A change in direction

There is no easy way to say this ... people don't really like the poster image as much as we do, and the trailer could probably do with a bit more work too.

The main comments we got about the poster were:

• Not polished enough. It needs to be laid out more carefully, with more thought about where the elements all sit.
• We need to get all the elements on the poster that should be there: we kinda knew that one.
• Maybe it should be portrait rather than landscape
• We should try and find a better central image

Not much to change there then!!!!

As for the trailer, well the main comments were these:

• Needs to have better endframes to bring home the message loud and clear
• Can't really read the star's names
• Maybe there should be some more captions to promote the movie: ratings from newspapers and magazines, for example
• A bit tighter editing

And if we change the main picture on the poster we will need to make it all tie in together somehow.

Not much time left to complete the project now, with the deadline coming up quick, so we got to get a move on. I guess the good news is that, apart from research we haven't done too much work on the magazine cover yet, so we won't have change that so much. We want to base it on the poster so we will get that right first.
