Now that all three pieces has been completed we now need to evaluate the project. Yet one of the most important things to remember when creating a trailer is you need to address an audience so, it was important for us to get feedback from viewers for our evaluation. Therefore to help us gather honest feedback we created a questionaire.
Below are the questions that we asked a group of individuals to help us evaluate our project:
What did you like about the trailer and why?
What didn’t you like about the trailer and why?
What do you think we could improve on?
Your thoughts and ideas on our trailer.
Would you go see the movie at the cinema?

Magazine Cover Development
We decided to design our magazine cover based on the two main characters. This is done so that the characters relate straight to the film. This is very common within real films. Despite us using a different image for our poster we wanted to show the main characters for one of our print work. As well we decided to challenge the forms and conventions of a thriller by using women instead of men for the main, dominant detective roles and we wanted to show this in our magazine cover. 
We chose to position the two main characters in the centre of the image with buildings in the background to show the urban evironment. The two main characters were holding guns pointing towards the camer, as the image taken from a low angle shot. This shows dominance and indepence of the two main characters. We aso feel the positioning and type of shot fits well within the thriller genre.
We started developing our magazine cover by firstly turing the whole image black and white then applying hue/saturation to add shading and contrast in certain areas. After, in the background we applied a deep red to the buildings. We wanted to stick to and apply our colour theme of red, black and white/grey to both our print works. It was important for us to form a connection between both our poster and magazine cover so that it can relate to the film and connect all three pieces within our project.
Below is our final magazine cover. we chose the magazine company "Empire" as we feel this fits in well with our style that travels throughout our project.

Magazine Cover planning
Just like our poster we created a magazine cover. We needed to explore and research the certain elements and features that appear on a magazine cover so that we can create an authentic cover that can fit in with real magazine covers.

Poster development
This was our orignal image to begin
We decided to use hue/saturation and brightness/contrast to create a dark shadow effect on the poster and have the only bit of colouring in red on the lips. This is to reflect the evilness in a thriller and the fact that it’s a woman in the poster shows how modern our thriller is as we have a woman as the main and only object in our poster, which shows her slyness and authority.
We used Adobe Photoshop to design our Thriller poster. Adobe Photoshop allowed us to use different effects and design our poster the way we wanted it to look. We made a few posters in different effects to allow us to see which one we liked best.
This is our final complete version of our poster.

Poster planning
As part of the coursework we have to create a poster and magazine cover. As a group we first decided to create our film poster. There are both forms and conventions that need to be considered when creating a poster that it should include. So as part of our research we create a spider diagram to show the varoety of different things that we needed to include.
