The document summarizes the results of a survey about film magazines. It asked 14 people questions about their gender, age, how often they read film magazines, their favorite magazine cover design, and how many people should be featured on the cover photo. The majority of respondents were female, between ages 15-19, don't regularly read magazines, preferred the design of an Empire Magazine cover, and thought 1-2 people should be on the cover photo. The survey results will help the document's author design their own magazine cover targeted at this audience.

1. Movie Magazine Survey
I sent out a survey to 14 people asking
questions about film magazines and
codes and conventions of film
magazines.

2. Q1-What is your gender?

Male Female
This was a very important
question because it let me
know whether or no the
people answering the survey
were who my film is aimed
at. It showed that most of
the respondents were female
(my target audience) which
makes the answers more
relevant to me.

3. Q2-How old are you?

7 This was an important question to
ask because it identified whether
the people who answered the
survey were within my target
audience age range. The majority
of the people who answer were
included in my target audience
(15-19), but there were a few that
were older. This is good because it
means that the answers given will
be more relevant to me when I am
making my magazine cover.

4. Q3-Do you ever read film magazines?
If so, how often?
More than
once a week
Once a week
Once a
month
A few times
a year
I do not read
film
magazines
This graph shows that most of
the people I asked do not read
film magazines, however some
do- mostly once a month or a few
times a year. This means that
they may not be completely
knowledgeable about the topic,
but some will know more than
others. Because of this, the
answers they give might be very
useful to me when creating my
magazine cover.

5. Q4-Out of the following magazine covers, which
do you think is the most effective/best to look
at?
0 2 4 6 8 10
Empire Magazine Super
Man Issue
Entertainment Weekly
Sweeny Todd Issue
Premiere Magazine
Spiderman 3 Issue
These answers show that
the clear favourite among
my target audience was
the Empire Magazine
cover on the Superman
film. This means that I
should analyse and take
into consideration all the
codes and conventions
used on this front cover
and use them as
inspiration when creating
my own front cover.

6. Q5-How many people do you think should be in
the main photo on the front cover of a film
magazine?
1
2
3
More than 3
These answers given by my
target audience clearly show
that I should feature only one or
two of the main characters of
the film on the front cover of the
magazine. This will make it
easier for the audience to
understand who the main
characters are, and what role
they play in the film. I think that
more than two people would
make the photo/cover seem too
crowded and the audience
wouldn’t know what to focus on.
