Review Feedback
We have shown our draft Review to a number of people, and made an evaluation of this review, from here it has allowed us to make a few changes to our review, to make it appear more realistic.
- We Removed the second page, as the review appeared more like a poster.
- We closed up the gaps between the text.
- We changed the fonts on the review, as the main title of the review used the title for the film (the logo), which would not be used in a film review.
- The review text itself was inported, as before it was just the Quark "Jabber" to show where the text would be.
- Added star ratings.
Poster Feedback
After looking at our poster we have concluded some key areas we need to change for our poster to look more real, and help project the image of the film we are wanting the audience to decode.
The things we need to change are:
- Font change; as the current font is seen as looking slightly comical, so it will help if we give the title a more gritty, edgy font to create a serious feel to the film.
- Give larger gaps between the title, as our title doesn't leave much space around itself.
- Change the film company logo's, as we currently have corporations such as paramount and new line cinema, which wouldn't be producing a short film.
- Correct the production text as it is slightly unsymmetrical and uneven.

However on the 6th of June 2006 something goes terribly wrong for the stalker. The stalker decides to break in to the preys house where his carefully planned scheme goes horribly wrong.
Shortly after entering the garage the stalker is shocked to see what lies within; knifes, hammers and chains, along with pictures of people with eyes cut out on the picture, these are not what someone would expect to find within the garage of such a person, but before the stalker can escape, he is knocked unconscious.
He awakes to find himself belted to a chair, where he looks up and sees his own image with the eyes cut out, like many of the other pictures he witnessed when entering the garage, the scream then acts as a sound barrier into both the theme song, and sound effects that play over the credits rolling.
