After evaluating and looking at the draft version we've found some things that we could improve on. For example, in the dialogue scene some people who i showed it to told me that some bits were quiet and some bits were too loud. Therefore, we had to equalise this on Final cut pro. We also turned down the brightness in some of the dialogue shots.

Official poster
Here is our official movie poster:
We wanted to create a movie poster that was inspired by the thriller genre. For example, the main title is red/black because these colours suggest danger and fear which is a thriller convention. In comparison to the poster teaser, Eddy (guy that plays Derek's younger brother Eric) changed the colour of his eye and made it subtly stand out. Although its not Harry's (guy that plays Derek) exact colour, it could suggest that what he sees is different from everyone. On the other hand, the black figure behind him suggests that there's another character but it is unknown to the audience till they watch the short film.
Moreover, the title is bigger than any other font on the poster. This helps the audience understand that the short film is called 'Delusional.' The question above the main title 'What is real?' helps the audience think about what the short film could be.
After looking at codes and conventions for thriller posters we found the credits at the bottom were key because without it, the overall poster looks like its missing something. In addition, we added a # at the bottom left of the poster. This is because it was going to be the tag we use when promoting the short film on social media and the audience can also use this hashtag to interact with the film. #Reality is just like the 'What is real?' question. They link together because that is what the film is about.
Finally, we added an age rating on the bottom right. We decided that a 12 would be relevant because it involves death and since it is a psychological thriller it was necessary. These changes were made because we wanted to improve the quality of the draft poster.
