A2 Research and Planning: Storyboard
This was my initial filming storyboard. I used this on the day of filming to get the shots I planned.

A2 Research and Planning: Location
Before filming my movie trailer I need to decide on locations to film at. I need scenes which are set in the woods and with an open heath.
I used a feature of Google maps called street view to decide on a suitable location to film.
I decided on these woods for my movie trailer
I initially planned to film in these woods but found that due to transport problems for my filming equipment and actors this was not possible

A2 Research and Planning: Magazine Cover Questionnaire Results
I handed my questionnaire out to a sample of sixteen to twenty year olds. In order to get some honest feedback on my movie magazine, I have completed this study before construction of my cover begins so that I can make necessary changes to suit my target audience.
I used a sample size of twenty people, all between the ages of sixteen and twenty. I separated my sample size into groups of four and put examples of our work on separate tables. The respondents were given five minutes to fill out an individual questionnaire on my magazine cover before they moved on to assess my movie poster.
What is your gender?
Ten males and ten females answered my questionnaire. This gives me an even distribution of boys and girls, whilst my target audience is predominantly male, my magazine caters for females too. It will give me an even and fair series of results.
Does my magazine look professional?
The majority of the respondents thought that my magazine conformed to typical codes and conventions of magazines. This is very important as I want my magazine to look authentic.
When analysing the qualitative answers to the ‘Why?’ half of the question, many of those answered listed colour scheme, the fonts, barcode, issue number and date made the cover look more professional. The minority who didn’t think my magazine looked professional thought that the colours were too bright and the editing wasn’t good.
Would you feel more or less inclined to see the movie that this magazine featured?
Eleven of the twenty respondents replied that they would feel inclined to see my movie after seeing it featured on the magazine. The reasons for this in my qualitative follow up questions said that they thought the cover looked mysterious- the two people on the cover looked sombre and they wanted to know why, and that they liked the look of it.
Nine respondents said that they felt less inclined to see the move after seeing the magazine as they didn’t find it interesting enough and thought that it looked boring. However, the majority of the respondents felt that the magazine promoted the movie well.
Which features of my magazine cover do you like?
This question was multi optional as respondents were asked to circle more than one answer, so I have thirty two answers to this question.
The majority liked the colour scheme, which consists of red, black and white. They said that the red is effective and stands out, but because it’s used in a small dose it doesn’t look too bright and busy. Eleven liked the image I used, reasoning for this as they thought it suited the genre it needed to convey. Ten responded that they thought the fonts were effective and eye catching without looking unprofessional.
Which features of my magazine cover do you dislike?
The layout is the most unpopular feature here, as they believe that there is not enough content features and it doesn’t look busy enough. Five didn’t like my image as they thought it was too dull and five didn’t like the fonts used because of their personal preference.
Taking these findings into account, I will make the necessary alterations to my movie magazine cover.

A2 Research and Planning: Movie Poster Questionnaire Results
I handed my questionnaire out to a sample of sixteen to twenty year olds. In order to get some honest feedback on my movie magazine, I have completed this study before construction of my cover begins so that I can make necessary changes to suit my target audience.
I used a sample size of twenty people, all between the ages of sixteen and twenty. I separated my sample size into groups of four and put examples of our work on separate tables. The students were given five minutes to fill out an individual questionnaire on my magazine cover before they moved on to assess my movie poster. This is my first attempt at a movie magazine cover.
What is your gender?
Ten males and ten females answered my questionnaire. This gives me an even distribution of boys and girls, whilst my target audience for my movie is predominantly male, my movie caters for females too. It will give me an even and fair series of results.
Does my poster look professional?
Sixteen respondents thought that my poster looked professional and authentic. My qualitative results show that they thought the greyscale suited the genre, the font was suitable, the image looked professional and the credits at the bottom looked authentic.
Would you feel more or less inclined to see the movie that this poster featured?
Thirteen of the respondents felt that they would feel more inclined to watch the movie after seeing the poster. Reasons they gave for this were that it was mysterious with the image of the woods with no human activity and wanted to know what it was about. Reasons for those who replied that they wouldn’t want to see the movie said that the poster was too dull to drab their attention. However, the majority believed that the poster promoted the movie well and suited the genre.
Which features do you like about my movie poster?
This question was multi optional which is why I have thirty six answers. Winning the majority vote is the image, reasons for this being that it was simple yet worked really well and the angle and greyscale effect looked mysterious. Second was font, reasons being that it looked menacing and sited the genre. The layout was praised for its simplicity and authentic looking credits. The colour scheme appealed to the respondents as although it greyscale, it works with the poster.
Which features do you dislike about my poster?
This question was also multi optional and received thirty responses. The most unpopular feature of the poster is the colour scheme, some thinking that it is too dark and dull. This is followed by the layout, arguing that the layout is too simple and it doesn’t grab their attention.
I will make the necessary alterations to my product to suit the answers to this questionnaire.
