To improve my video...

• I need to have a variety of different tracks behind the trailer
• I need to have fast and slow paced shots to make the movie seem exciting
• I need it to leave the target audience wondering
• I need it to be exciting and interesting
• I need it to have lots of different shots
• I need it to link in with the magazine and poster that I have already done.

Final Magazine Cover

This is my final magazine cover! I am very pleased on how this has turned out and I think that this magazine would stand out from other magazines because of the bright colours. As you can see this links with all three of my products. It links with the poster because I have used the same picture, the same font for the movie and also the same colours. It links with the trailer because of the same font of the movie, the same location and the colours run throughout all of the products. This means that the target audience will be able to link all 3 product together and will find them easier. I think that the magazine has a sense of professionalism as it looks like other movie magazines that are on the market today such as Empire and many more. I have taken inspiration from Empire magazine as it is a very popular magazine that sells well and has a running theme throughout every magazine and I wanted the same effect. I have used the image as the main focus to draw the target audiences eye inwards to the picture as it is mysterious and people will want to know more.

Feed back from my magazine cover.

I am going to get feedback from my first draft of my magazine cover from my target audience to see what they think and what they think needs improving.

Chris Percival:

I think that the colours that are used work very well with the genre of the magazine and also they work well together and will attract the eye as they compliment each other. However, I think that the bottom of the magazine looks plain and needs some work to make the magazine stand out more. I think that there needs to be a tag line or something underneath the title of the magazine as well. I think that the bar code looks a little out of place also.

Ben:

I think that this is a very good first draft and doesn't need much more work. I just feel like Chris that the bottom of the magazine is boring and therefore the magazine doesn't look interesting.

Emily:

I really like the colours of the magazine, they stand out and draw the eye inwards. I like the background that is used as it shows that the films is the main focus of the magazine.

This is my magazine so far...

This is my magazine cover so far as you can see it is a bit plain and needs some work but I have taken the inspiration from the magazine empire and now I will get some feedback from it. I think that there needs to be more going on at the bottom of the poster as it is plain and looks boring. From this I don't think that it would attract many peoples eye.

My layout choice

I have picked my first layout because I think that it is more striking and will catch the eye of the audience easier. I feel that this has some good techniques about it and looks professional like a real magazine.

Magazine layout 3

I feel that this layout is very boring and simple and I have taken this inspiration from one of the empire magazines but I think that you would have to have a very powerful and striking image to pull this layout of as people may think it is boring and unprofessional.

Magazine layout 2

I like the layout of this magazine but not as much as my last as i think that the title shouldn't slanted as it might be harder for the target audience to read. I also think that it is a bit plain and boring compared to the last one and doesn't really shout exciting.
