2. Trailer
 After watching the trailer they said:
 It was an action/crime thriller.
 The majority would go and see it in the cinema. 1 said they
wouldn’t.
 The sound needs to be clearer and some bits the music was too
loud to hear the dialogue.
 They liked the title as it was clever play on words associated with
the phone and decision making.
 The acting could be improved for the main character.
 The story line appears very exciting and the music fits very well
with the trailer.
 It seems a bit too light in some scenes to be a thriller but the
quick cuts and music help to suggest it is a thriller.

3. Poster
 They would go and look at the film website and maybe
see the film.
 It’s clear what the film title is and who stars in the film.
 The main photo is good but the facial expression doesn’t
fit with the genre too well as he appears shocked but not
scared or serious.
 The quotes are a little bit hard to read perhaps make them
black.
 Its very clear when the film comes out which is good
because sometimes film posters aren’t that clear.
 The background is great as they like how it gives the
poster layers but doesn’t stand out or overshadow too
much.

4. Film Magazine
 They like the overall look of the magazine.
 They all said they would buy the magazine for
£2.99 as it was a reasonable price.
 The cover lines looked good and the colours
stood out but don’t clash.
 The main cover line is a little unclear as it is just
the name of the film, not a lot of information about
the article.
 They liked how there was a similar city silhouette.
 The picture quality could be better.
