5. 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.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. 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.
