Question three.

Poster

Front Cover

Does this cover show you that the featured film is a horror?

Clear iconography is presented.

Very Clear with the hooded figure, gives an element of mystery

It is dark and dingy

The woods are iconic of the horror genre so I recognised from that

Although its quite light there are elements of darkness

The overall look gives off connotations of horror

These results show that the majority of people asked could recognise our front cover as that of a horror film. The only criticism is the lightness of the image as horror front covers are stereotypically dark. We felt that it was important to go against this convention so that everything on our front cover is seen.

Does the colour scheme work well?

Are the fonts clear to read?Yes, the fonts are clear and easy to read. Yes, the typography that has been

used follows the themes of the magazine as well as being easy to read.

Does this magazine have conventions similar to other magazines?

Yes there are large amounts of shared conventions between this and that of a real magazine.

Yes, this magazine looks really professional.

Yes, on this magazine there are lots of conventions that other magazines have such as puffs and plugs

No, there are not enough plugs and puffs to make it look good.Yes, that balance

between text and image is just right.

This analysis told us that most people asked agreed when we asked about convention sharing. It shows us that excluding the one negative comment we received our magazine is thought to look professional. If we wanted to improve we could ensure that we addressed the negative comments and made sure that we made the balance betwen plugs and puffs right.

Does it fit your expectations of a film magazine?

Yes, the way that is laid out looks similar to a real magazine.

All of the practical elements have not been forgotten.

What do you think of the balance of text

The balance is perfect.

It is good, the cover doesn’t look to overcrowded but isn’t too bare.

There could be more text but the cover isn’t lacking anything.

The image is so detailed that a large amount of text is not needed.The balance of text to

image is fine.

This feedback shows all of the people that we asked said that we have got the balance right. Although some of the feedback said that we could have used more text this could be in the form of plugs puffs or general text about the features in our magazine.

The top of the magazine cover looks a bit bare compared to the bottom.

What do you think of the title of the magazine?

I like it.

It has a good ring to it.

It works really well with the slogan, and is memorable for target audiences.

It is similar but slightly different to other film magazines so may be mistaken for other magazines.

Its short and sweet

Due to the importance of the title to our magazine it was important that it was appealing to the audience. With the feedback that we received it is clear that the title that we chose was attracting to the audience. The audience said that they would automatically know what to expect and this is good for our magazines reputation. Although some of the feedback we got said that it similar to other magazines, which may cause a problem if its too similar.

I would know what to expect instantly.

Its fantastic, I am really impressed.
