Rough Cut audience feedback
Thanks to my Audience feedback, I was able to analyse with my peers possible improvements with my film. It was suggested that a voice over was added and it was also pointed out that the rough cut was all too similar to an opening sequence with the institutional details all at the end.

Audience Research
To gain my audience research I constructed an online survey on SurveyMonkey. This is to interact more with the audience and make them feel more involved with my production, here is my link:

Logo Development and Final product
My production logo is meant to be a physical embodiment of my production name 'Divine Entertainment' I used Adobe Photoshop CS6 to add the wings and the halo to personify my name 'Divine' which means 'Godly' so I thought it was a clever play on words. The 'E' is for 'Entertainment' so the logo is written in 'Rosewood STD Regular' which is similar to the font used on posters advertising circuses which is in fact a form of entertainment.

Pitch
An 11 - year old Zoe and a 10 – year old sisters Zoe and Lily are walking to school together holding hands, on the way home. Zoe and Lily have done something terrible, and swear each other to secrecy. Months pass the secret is really eating Lily. Lily is struggling to cope without her sister help, who seems to be living fine, but Lily wants to come clean about what really happened that day. Zoe realises how fragile and weak Lily is. She cannot risk being found out by anyone so she kidnaps her sister and takes her to a secluded place and tries to talk her round into justifying what they did all those months ago. While all these goes on Zoe is stone faced at home while everyone at her house is frantically looking for Lily. Back in the secret hiding place, Lily attempts to run away. Zoe catches up with her unknowingly being followed by her mother who when she finds them forces them to tell the whole truth of what has happened and what’s been going on with them the whole time. They finally confess and their mother has no choice but to call the police for what Zoe did and she is taken away.

Introduction
I'm Divine Mckengo. I'm working alone, even though I enjoyed working in a group last year I felt that I had to compromise a lot of my ideas and didn't have enough creative freedom, so I'm working alone to get the creative control. I decided to create a film trailer of an Action - Thriller genre for my promotional package. Candidate number - 7644.
