This document provides details from the creator of a music magazine on the design choices made for various elements of the magazine, including the masthead, front cover, contents page, and a double page spread. For the masthead, the creator was inspired by the graphic style of "Little White Lies" magazine. On the front cover, a portrait photo was used to draw the reader in along with impactful text. The contents page continued the circular graphic elements and used images and colors to stand out. The double page spread showed the minimal black and white house style.

Q1 in what ways does your magazine use
The document discusses how the magazine uses, develops, and challenges conventions of real media products. It summarizes how each part of the magazine (front cover, double page spread, contents page) uses traditional magazine formatting but also develops and challenges conventions. For the front cover, developments include putting text in boxes and using a two-tone design. Conventions are challenged through use of pastel colors atypical for hip-hop magazines. The double page spread and contents page similarly develop conventions around layout and highlighting key information while challenging norms through non-traditional stylistic choices.

Media Evaluation Question Two
Our trailer was created to appeal to our target audience through an enticing plot conveyed in a thrilling and dramatic way. The trailer builds suspense by alternating between slow and quick pacing and soft and harsh soundtrack. Special effects like an earthquake effect and echoing scream were added to shots to further disorient and heighten the eerie tone. Dialogue was avoided to maintain suspense, with only a scream used to provide insight into the story while capturing attention.
Poster and Magazine Cover Drafts
This document contains draft designs for a film poster and magazine cover promoting the film "Best Friends". The first draft of the poster uses a black and white gradient background with the film title and tagline prominently displayed. Subsequent drafts experiment with different imagery, layouts, fonts and color schemes to attract attention and convey the tone of the film. Different elements like coverlines, quotes and credits are positioned throughout to provide information while maintaining visual balance and hierarchy. The magazine cover drafts similarly refine the masthead, title treatment and additional details to create a polished, professionally presented promotional piece.
Film poster and magazine draft layouts
The document discusses the design process for magazine and movie poster drafts. It describes different layout options tested, including placement of the masthead, title, tagline, images, billing blocks, and review quotes. The key decisions reached were to:

- Place the title at the bottom of the poster to seem more dramatic
- Include a billing block and review quotes on the poster for credibility
- Position the masthead at the top of the magazine cover per convention
- Add circular coverlines and a single background image to the magazine cover for visual interest.
Trailer Editing and Sound
This document analyzes techniques used in movie trailer editing and sound design to build tension and convey information to viewers. It identifies several specific techniques that could be adapted for a student film trailer, such as:
1) Using a consistent sound effect throughout the trailer that changes when events become more dramatic.
2) Incorporating a lighthearted song in the beginning to establish tone before the story turns to horror.
3) Speeding up quick cuts as tension rises and slowing them down for dramatic reveals.
4) Employing fades between shots to pause and heighten dramatic effect.
Media evaluation
We created an effective horror trailer by adapting techniques from our research, such as varying the soundtrack speed and lighting to build tension. Key effective elements were special effects like an earthquake effect and echo on a scream. Our initial trailer was less developed, using basic transitions and no effects. The poster and magazine cover maintained a simple format focused on the central image but were improved with effects, varied fonts and placement of text/images to better attract attention.

Finally, hue, saturation, and color balance levels were adjusted to pale the actress's complexion and complete the edited image.

Specifically, the color balance was adjusted to make her skin appear paler, a blue tint was added to suggest illness, and the background was altered to block out writing and make the face stand out.

- 3. I further developed my magazines contents page by involving an editors note, as many magazines include them in order to show the reader what will be included. I also included another gig photo to relate to the artists that will be found inside and added a cover line to add content. In addition to this I included a ‘Interlude competition’ at the bottom to relate to things that would be found with other magazines and my magazine research found that my demographic would be quite interested by this. Furthermore, I experimented with having a grey background to make the content stand out against it and not be so plain.
- 4. I developed this design by moving the two photos next to each other and inline with Elle on the other side to look organised and neat. Then, I put coverlines on top of the pictures to show what they’re in relation to. I also put a low more coverlines down the left hand side of the page to look more detailed. Moreover, I condensed the editors note into the right hand side to neatly fit in the column and not take up too much room. Then I put the competition in more depth and used the masthead to relate to the magazine and highlight the key words ‘Beyonce’ and ’60’ in dark red to match the colour scheme.
