From reading the synopsis for the film, what genre of film do you think it is?  Please give reasons for your answer.

1.Science Fiction because it mentions jumping through portals.

2.Sci-Fi because of the fact he is befriending ‘beasts’

3.I believe it is science fiction because of the fact it says portal

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.i would expect bright colours, maybe a monster or two and of course the main character.

2.I would expect to see the main character and then a dark background.

3. I think that a mixture of contrasting colours against the main character would look good.

What are your first impressions of the poster and DVD cover?  Please consider the following in your answer: Choice of image / choice of fonts / colour scheme used / page layout.

1.My first impressions are in the middle because i like the images used but the page layout was just “Blech”

2. I really like the poster and the DVD colour they give out a mystical feel like it is really a science fiction film

3. I like the dvd cover but not so much the film poster because the film poster looked really rushed.

From your knowledge of the synopsis, do you think the poster drafts suit the film?  Please give reasons with regards to the designs.

1. I think the poster drafts do suit the film as they both give of the same feel but look different even though they are the same thing

2. Yes, i do think the poster drafts suit the film, my reason is because the colours used make it feel exciting.

3. The poster draft doesn't really suit the film that well as i would of expected the colours to change a little but they are mostly all the same.
