From an exercise in lesson we gained feedback from our class members after we describes to them the world of our film:

We are making another simple kid story featuring a young, gullable, annoying little boy. This hyperactive boy is intended to entertain, create laughter to children based on his stupidity and naievity. The simplicity of the film is something we want to get across through our poster as well as the childish theme of pranks, fun and schoolboy fun. Some of the main themes we want to portray through the poster is haloween, mock comedy and immiturity clearly stating our target audience of children between the ages of 6-12.

Feedback:
black background, speech bubble surrounding title, Mr vamping in background, SChoolkids laughing at Rodney, red writing, 'Foolish bravery', pumpkins, orange, purple, black, shadow of Mr Vamping, silhouette of buildings with Mr Vampings eyes on the top, fangs, blood dripping.

I designed my poster this way as i feel is shows the main messages and ideas we were trying to get across. I used Mr Vamping in the foreground in an exagerated pose with his hands above his head. This shows that it is not a horror which involves death and an evil vampire, it merely shows the comical side of the story as well as the theme of 'mock horror' for kids. I also situated Rodney behind his desk with a terrified expression on his face. Not only does this show the comical, 'stupid' character of Rodney but it also links in with the School theme as he is wearing uniform attracting children also at school. I put the title in spooky red writing in quite a childish font once again to show the scary theme but portray nothing too serious and show the fun side of the film. I used the colour blue for the background as i feel it matches the atmosphere of the film. It is not too serious but still a mock horror.

Feedback on my poster from discussion with group:

-Typography of title is good- Shows moch horror.
-Body language is comical- shows themes
-Setting is established through costume- School uniform-attracts children(Target audience)
-Rodney should be in the foreground as he is infact the main character
-Need to use more colours that connotate with the Haloween theme e.g purple, black, orange
- Could include symbol of fangs and eyes
- Need to incorporate the message into poster- Fantasy can be reality, anything is possible
-More comedy needed
-Not too scary for target audience of children.
