(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.The genre sounds like a police/detective genre with scary bad guys and dark settings(warehouses).
2.It looks like a horror or police genre- Guns, fire, explosions, hostages.
3.I think this is a horror or a police action film with explosions and fire etc.
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.A poster with guns and action characters with big muscles
2.Fire and exploded cars with the main character stood alone
3.the antagonist's head and the good guys suspended above one of key locations

What are your first impressions of the DVD cover? Please consider the following in your answer: Choice of image / choice of fonts / colour scheme used / page layout.
1.Involves bullets, action and addictions, the red and the darker colours make the theme scary and evil, the type is bold and makes it more generic.
2.Suspense and mysterious events are obvious. The action scenes and the guns appear and there is an image of a hostage situation. The front cover focuses on the main character’s addiction and immediately you already wander about the girl’s story and wonder whether the cigarette shes holding is a big part of the story.
3.The text makes the film seem more generic and scary. The images definitely suggest action and horror. The picture of the woman and the two men already gives you an idea of someone being kidnapped and the woman being depressed.
From your knowledge of the synopsis, do you think the poster drafts suit the film? Please give reasons with regards to the designs.
1.Yes, the text makes it look like a police action film, the images make it look scary and suspensive.
2.The picture fits the plot of the girl with an addiction, the picture of the two men at the top shows a hostage situation like in the plot, the film clips represent action and extreme drama and it also shows a bit of a horror theme to add effect and more drama.
3.It is good, but more guns and explosions would make it look even more like an action film, as this looks more like a horror film.
Summary
In general the feedback is positive and the DVD Sleeve Draft matches the description/ synopsis of the film. Overall, The audience agreed that the conventions/ context matched the genre of my film, and after a suggestion that was made, I know that I need to include more guns and explosions to make my film more generic. Most of all the suggestions made,about what could be on the front cover, matched the images and text fonts that I used.
