2. Question 1 –Do you think my film
magazine is conventional for a horror?
From the 10 responses I received from my
target audience based on my magazine
cover, all of them responded saying that
the magazine cover that I have created is
conventional for all genres and my film fits
in well. From receiving 100% for ‘Yes’ I am
able to see clearly that there is nothing
that needs to be changed to ensure that it
is conventional as it already meets the
criteria.
3. Question 2- Why?
When I asked my target audience why
they found my magazine conventional,
there were many reasons. The most
common one being the layout and image
that have been used throughout. There
were also comments about the colours
that I chose to use. This positive feedback
again tells me that there are no major
changes that need to be made to make
sure that my magazine is conventional to
both form and genre.
4. Question 3- What would you rate the
image used? (1-Poor, 5-Good)
From the 10 responses I received from my
target audience based upon the image I
have chosen to use, I can see that there
could be some slight changes made to
the image that is used as a main focus
within my poster. I can see this because
50% of my target audience said that the
image that I used was really good rating it
at 5. The other 50% said that there could
be some slight changes made rating it at
4. I am going to ensure that my magazine
reaches its potential by adding more
editing techniques.
5. Question 4- What would you rate the
font styles used? (1-Poor, 5-Good)
From the responses I received based upon
the font styles I have chosen to use, I can
see that there could be some slight
changes made to the them to ensure that
they are more conventional and not too
repetitive within the magazine. I am going
to carry out more font style research to
ensure that all of my target audience rate
the fonts used at a 5. I will also ensure that
they are attracted to the magazine and
therefore the film.
6. Question 5- What would you rate the
layout of the magazine? (1-Poor, 5-Good)
From the 10 responses I received based
upon the layout of my ancillary magazine
cover, I can see that the majority of my
target audience feel that it is conventional
to form. However, I might have to shuffle
things around a bit to ensure all of my
target audience rate the layout at a 5. To
do this I am going to further research other
successful film magazines to help me
adapt mine for its full potential. I do not
think there is a lot of changes that need to
be made.
7. Question 6- Rate the colours used on
the magazine? (1-Poor, 5-Good)
From the feedback I received on the
colour scheme used on my magazine, I
can see that the majority of my target
audience agree that I use interesting
colours that are bold but still conventional
also. I can see this as the lowest rating I
received was 3, although this was only 10%
(1 person) I want to ensure that my
magazine appeals to all of my target
audience so I can make a few changes.
8. Question 7- What improvements could
be made?
When I gained feedback from my target
audience based on what improvements
could be made within my magazine, I
received a variety of answers. The main
one was based on cover lines, saying that I
could maybe add a few more to ensure
that the magazine is of highest standard.
Overall, the feedback that I received was
positive and allows me to see the slight
changes that will need to be made to
ensure that the whole of my target
audience are interested in the
advertisement.
