Here is a presentation I recently did looking at the exam work, however it focuses of different conventions and elements featured within my trailer, such as representation, so it will help to awnser this question.

Feedback
My main source of feedback has been verbal throughout the production stages of this product, however so that I could see what my target audience thought of my final products I have set up a facebook (social networking site) group so that people can see and comment on the final trailer, poster and front cover. I added people to the group who I believe to be my target audience, and although those who I know will give me constructive criticism.
Generally, the feedback I received was brillliant which I was extremely happy with. Those who left feedback generally left detailed comments of what they thought, and seemed to be honest, which I greatly appreciated!
Here are some of the comments in more detail...
Trailer feedback:
Interpreting feedback: I was extremely happy with the feedback I got for my trailer. Generally, it was said that the transitions were smooth, the shots were well thought out, and the trailer is emotional due to the expressions of the main character. It was said that it gave a vague idea of the storyline, however didn't give much away creating suspense. General criticisms made were that some of the beginning shots were a little shakey, and that the music didn't come in too smoothly at one point. However, overall really good feedback.
Poster feedback:
Interpreting the feedback: Again, generally awesome feedback! Good points that have been picked up on have been the use of the blur effect used on the image, how professional it looks, and how they can be linked to the other products. Things picked up on for improvement are how some of the text bleeds into the background colour and the use of the stars at the top of the poster.
Magazine feedback:
Interpreting the feedback: Yet again, brilliant feedback. Good things that have been picked up are the impact of the image and how it fits in with the Little White Lies theme, however there was more things that were said to need improvement. One thing that was picked up on was that it seemed a little empty and that the logo seems a bit "lost", which could've been helped with a background image or colour.
Overall, I am really please with the feedback recieved on my final products!

Music
Once I had roughly put my trailer together, I needed to add a soundtrack to go along with. I knew before I started work on the soundtrack, the kind of sound I was aiming for, which is slow moving, minimal piano track. Soundtrack pro is the programme I used to compose my soundtrack, as it has over 5000 loyalty free loops and sound effects
available.
Here is the browser featured in Soundtrack Pro, which is used to find loops. Because I already knew what kind of music I wanted, I used the search tabs of the browser and simply typed in piano. It came up with hundreds of loops, and i worked my way through until I found some that I like.
Once I have found some that I like I click and dragged them across to the main window of the programme. Instead of editing them together in Soundtrack Pro, I saved each loop as an individual file and dropped them into Final Cut Express which is the programme I used to edit the film together.
Once placed into Final Cut, I was able to fade the loops in and out using the basic keyframing tool.Film poster 2
