1. Survey Results Magazine

2. 1.What age and gender are you? In order to get a variety of opinions, we didn’t just ask one gender, we asked both genders, and made it equal by having the same amount of girls and boys answers. In order to get feedback which would be useful for our project, we asked people who did our survey, and based it around teenagers and young adults.

3. 2.What type of magazine do you think this is? In order to know that the codes and conventions of our magazine was easily recognizable as a film magazine we asked if it could be seen as a fashion and a student magazine, ones that could similarly approach what me and hollie made. Overall 91.7 percent said it looked like a film magazine whilst only 16.7 percent thought it looked like a student magazine, which told us as a team that we followed the right approach when making the magazine.

4. 3.What age group do you think this magazine would be for? Knowing our intended magazine for the audience was young adults, the intended effect worked well on people because most of the answers consisted of teenagers and young adults, which helps us see that our magazine is able to portray our magazine for significant age groups.

5. 4.Do you think the colours of the magazine go well with the main picture used 87.5 percent agreed whilst a small 12.5 disagreed, which tells us that our three colour scheme worked well, with the picture fitting in with the colour also.

6. 5.Do you think the magazine has a suitable title? As this is the main masthead the most boldest thing to be seen on the magazine it was important the title could be understood and related to what the magazine would be about. And cue flicks we found was suitable because it was associated with film, and it was quite direct to the reader, persuading them to read the magazine with the use of an order cue, and the action being flick. 95.8 percent agreed this was a suitable title whilst only 4.2 percent disagreed so having been satisfied from the start with our magazine choice, we were relieved to find our audience was too.

7. 6.How much would you pay for the magazine? From price ranging from £1 to £4, we thought it would be good to find out what our magazine looked like for an appropriate selling price. The majority of the survey, tied with wanting to pay £2 and £2.50 which we found was reasonable for our magazine.

8. 7.What genre do you think the main picture indicates? Having put the main picture to promote our film “blood circle” it was important that the picture could be indentified in terms of genre, so it knew what the magazine was focusing on, and why the magazine might have the colours used to fit with this genre. 79.2 percent thought it was horror whilst 41.7 thought it was thriller. Having added others such as comedy and romance to define whether our picture was truly recognized it was safe to say the previous two genres weren’t a dominant aspect of what people thought of the photo. Although our picture was a horror genre, and a large percentage did agree it looked like a thriller, it wasn’t defeating knowledge for us, because the thriller genre could lean into the horror sometimes, and be a mixture of both.

9. 8.Do you think this looks like a professional magazine? 83.2 percent agreed with yes, with only 16.7 percent agreeing with no, which showed that our magazine did in fact look professional from our audiences point of view.

10. 9.Would you buy this magazine? 62.5 percent agreed with yes with 41.7 percent agreeing with no, which told us most of our audience were persuaded in terms of just seeing the magazine visually to buy it if it was actually for sale. So from this we gained it looked professional enough if it had this effect on people.

11. Conclusion Overall after looking over our results we were satisfied with the direction of the magazine, and having done re-drafts of it already, we decided to leave it how it was, because there was nothing we could improve on.
