Her reply to this question was that the figures in The Lovely Bones film poster did appeal to her as these were the main image for the picture, and what the rest of the poster structured around. Out of all of the main images on all these film posters she thinks that The Lovely Bones main image with the tree with the falling leaves that turn into birds was the better one. This appealed to her most as this effect of the leaves turning into birds really caught her attention and made her think that the film was going to be really imaginative.
What’s the last Tag Line you can remember from a film or a film poster? And why?
The Tag Line that most interested Demmi was the one from The Lovely Bones film poster 'The story of a life and everything that came after...'. She thinks it keeps you in suspense and leaves you wondering what the film actually entails; having dots at the end of the sentence emphasized this.
What most stands out to you on the poster? And why?
The thing that most stood out to Demmi about this film poster was the fact that all the other posters used figures of people in them, or an image of a person, but even though this film is pacifically about a girl who has died, the only significant image they show if the tree. She really likes the fact that it is different and this would intemperate that the film wouldn't be like any other film.

Second Interviewee
Names: Shannon
Ages: 13
Film Magazine Front Covers
Does the image or person on the front cover appeal to you? And why? She thinks that the main image defiantly plays a huge part in appealing to its audiences as it tells them what the film is about, or influences them to think of the film in different ways. She also thinks that having an image of a famous actor on the front cover does make a different especially if it is a well known one, as it would encourage fans of that actor to go and see the film.
Does the colour scheme on the front cover appeal to you? And why? Defiantly the colour scheme makes different to Shannon. she believes that a good contrast with the background and the colour scheme within the text with the main image makes a big different. For example the contrast with the main image of the Joker on the front cover with the dark back ground makes the main image stand out more and makes it more appealing.
Is the font and size of the text appealing and easy to read? And why?
Yes, she thinks that the font is easy to read and the contrasts with the dark background defiantly helps. However she thinks that the lack of text on the cover makes it more interesting as you would want to read inside the magazine because you are not told on the font. Also the lack of texts draws your eyes towards the main image more.
Which magazine cover stand out more? And why?
In Shannon's opinion she thinks that the magazine front cover for Batman The Dark Knight is more appealing at the close up of the Joker makes it seem more intense and exciting. Comparing the Dark Knights magazine front cover with the Harry Potter and X-Men front cover, she agrees that even though the Dark Knight front cover has less text and is a lot more simpler than the other two, it makes a good contrasts so it stands out more.
What most stands out to you on the front cover? And why? Shannon think out of all the magazine front covers in front of her the main thing that stands out to her is the image. It's the one thing that she thinks tells her most about the film.
Film Posters
Does the main image or person on the front cover appeal to you? And why?
As Shannon said before about the main image being important on the film magazine front cover she believes that it is important for the film posters also, but mostly more important as it's the only thing really that tells the viewer what the film is about apart from the Tag Line. The images on these front covers defiantly appeal to her, especially The Lovely Bones one with the girl and the figure of a man on the left side. It appeals to her the most because the contrasts of the girl wearing all colourful clothes and there just being a dark figure of a man defiantly says something interesting about the film.
What’s the last Tag Line you can remember from a film or a film poster? And why?
Shannon doesn't really remember any Tag Lines from any other film posters, however she thinks that the Tag Line on The Lovely Bones film poster defiantly appeals to her as it tells er a lot about the film. Her opinion on this was the same as Demmi's opinion who was the previous interviewee.
What most stands out to you on the poster? And why?
The thing that most stood out to Shannon on The Lovely Bones film poster is the contrasts between the two people in the main image. The people in the main image in The Hottie And The Nottie film poster also stands out more. She thinks the reason why the people stand out more in The Hottie And The Nottie poster stand out more because there is a white glow edited around them, the glow contrasts with the darker figures which makes them stand out more.
What do you think this poster tells you about the film?
The contrast of the dark figure and the colour young girl in The Lovely Bones poster tells her that these two people are completely opposite and this man is creepy and erry. Also with the dark figure being larger than the girl makes her think that this girl all innocent and this figured man has some sort of power over her.
Is this poster interesting you in seeing the film? And why? Yes, this film poster defiantly persuades me to go seethe film as it seems like a interesting film from the way how the figures has been structured. Also she thinks that if the film poster included a well knwn actor or actress this would interest her in seeing the film.
Film Trailers
There response to each film trailer
Film: The Lovely Bones Response: She thinks that the music defiantly has a positive effect on the viewer and creates a lot of tension especially near the end of the trailer. she likes the contrasts between the happy start and the tension near the end of the trailer. Reminds her of the film poster she looks at earlier on.
Film: Killers Response: Shannon thinks that the blank screen with text in between the scenes is very effective. It keeps the viewers in suspense and gets them thinking about how the text is related to the film.
Film: Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Response: Just like The Lovely Bones trailer she enjoys the musics and thinks again it creates tension. Also she thinks that the short takes creates even more tension which engaged her more into wanting to watch the film.
Which trailer interested you more? And why?
Out of all the trailer she really liked the Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows trailer as this trailer was the one that created the most tension and excitement for her. she thinks that the specially effects and music defiantly emphasized this. This trailer is defiantly fit for purpose.
What part of the trailer would make you go and see the film? And why?
She thinks that the part of the trailer that most would encourage her to go and see the film would be the end part where the shots become shorter and the music becomes more intense. This made the film seem more exciting and by putting a load of takes into one section of the trailer make it seem like the film is very compact.
What part of the trailers stick in your head? And why?
The part of the trailer that most sticks into Shannon's head is the beginning part where Harry and Voldemort where talking. This most stood out to her because it was unusual to see Harry and Voldemort together as in the previous Harry Potter film you hardly ever see them in the same scenes.
Can you remember the release date?
Yes, Shannon could remember the release date at the end of The Lovely Bones trailer, but there wasn't a release date on any of the other trailers
Which genre of film do you prefer? And why?
She prefers Thriller and Horror films as she enjoys the build up of tension.
