Final VI Trailer

This is the final cut of the trailer for VI.

Ancillary Task: Film Website

After conducting some research into film websites (click here) and having created a website for our production company, we decided to create a website specifically based on VI in order to further advertise the production and give fans and audiences a platform upon which they can directly view and read more about the film, as well as signing up to receive exclusive updates or place inquiries.

Research into Film Websites

I created this prezi to demonstrate some of my research and awareness to the features of a working film website. With this knowledge I will be able to create a much more effective website for my own production and will be able to incorporate any ideas that inspire me.

VI Facebook Page

Click here to be redirected to the VI Movie Facebook Page

After creating a Facebook page for Venom Entertainment I found that it was common for an individual film to also have a Facebook page of its own. Using research from my study of Facebook pages I was able to create a Facebook page with links to our Twitter page, Venom Entertainment company page and also included an 'about' section which included links to both the VI Movie website and the Venom Entertainment website, competitions to engage our audience, posters and encouragement to buy the magazines that VI is featured in. By creating this extra page I have been able to further advertise our production and create a focus on the actual production rather than just the production company.

Ancillary Task: Empire Magazine VI Edition

Audience Film Feedback

In order to gain a full and informed idea of what our target audience (16-24 year olds) would like, dislike and want to improve on our film, we decided to gain some audience feedback by showing a group of mixed male and females in the age group a rough cut of our film and then giving them a questionnaire to fill in.
From the questionnaires pictured below we found that the CCTV camera effect was popular and that adding more sound was a common suggestion. We will take all of the comments into consideration and modify our film as suited.

Research Into Trailer Music

I decided to research the structure and types of music in existing trailers with similar aspects to mine in order to help me create an effective musical scape for my own production.

Research into Posters

Our Logo

This is the logo we came up with. We chose the snake skin background because it is the essence of the 'Venom'. We felt that we wanted to keep our logo simple because then it is memorable in an easy way. The colour of the background is eye catching to the audience and the solid black text on top brings the sense of strength to the name.
We chose Venom Entertainment because we felt as if our character in our film was getting injected with the cults deadly metaphorical venom and a snake is seen as an evil and sly animal, much like our cult in the trailer.

Todorov's Theory

This is my research into Tzetan Todorov, the famous film theorist who came up with his own Todorov's Theory on how a film is set out.

Our website

To keep our audience informed about us and our productions we have created a website on www.wix.com
This includes details personally about us to make our audience feel like they know the company a bit more and also about upcoming productions, where we are based, where to buy tickets and what to expect from the film. Doing this means that we will branch out to a wider audience.
