Evaluation Question 1
1. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
Q1 evaluation
My magazine uses many existing conventions of music magazines, such as the masthead, fonts, color scheme, and cover lines. However, it challenges some conventions by using a black and white photo on the cover instead of color, and by placing the main story line at the bottom of the cover instead of the top. The inside writing style is structured into clear columns, like other magazines, but the cover design challenges norms by its unique photographic style and layout.
In what way does your media product use
This document describes how a media product uses conventions of real magazines in its design and layout. It includes descriptions of design elements like the cover layout, color scheme, use of images, page formatting, and more.

Evaluation Q1 - Magazine
My media product challenges conventions of real magazines by using lighter colors and high key lighting in photos. While it borrows certain design elements like centered mastheads and side subtitles from Empire magazine, it develops these further by adding more coverlines for visual interest. The model looks in a different direction than in Empire and has a less intense facial expression, appropriate for representing the lighter tone of my fictional film. Overall, my magazine simplifies conventions but challenges expectations by shooting the cover photo on location against a plain brick wall rather than in a studio.

The document discusses conventions used in various ancillary products for a horror film, including a magazine cover, poster, trailer, and compares them to professional examples. It analyzes conventions in areas like mastheads, headlines, images, slogans, and finds that while some elements follow conventions of the genre and form, others could be improved. For example, the magazine cover masthead is too long, the trailer could use more music variation, and the poster slogan would work better in the top third like the professional example.

Self Evaluation

For the magazine cover and poster, the student felt their drafts had potential to be effective because they were very similar to the professional examples in terms of layout and positioning of elements. For the storyboard, the student felt it could be successful because it showed scenes out of order and had shorter scenes at the end to build intensity, matching conventions used in professional film trailers.
Effective Production Work
Dale Richardson outlines qualities of effective and ineffective production work. Effective work shows careful consideration of technical elements like costume, camerawork and editing to tell a story with intrigue and tension.

Audience feedback
The document summarizes audience feedback on a script, storyboard, trailer, poster, and magazine cover created by the author.
