Evaluation

In my evaluation, I will address the following questions:

• In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?


• How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary tasks?


• What have you learnt from audience feedback?


• How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?

Magazine cover

As the second part of my ancillary task I have to create a film magazine cover, so I decided to analyse existing products to find conventions. The purpose of a film magazine is to promote upcoming films, usually reviewing them to inform audiences whether they are worth going to see or not.



After analysing exsiting magazines, I decided to draw a flat plan for my magazine cover. I decided to use a similar layout to 'Total Film'.

Title Font

To decide on which font we wanted to use for our film title, we created a sample of ten various fonts and then showed it to 50 of our target audience. This allowed us to see what one was the most eye catching, suitable and interesting.

Results

• Our results showed that the most popular font was number 3, receiving over 40% of the vote.


• Most said that numbers 6 and 7 was too difficult to read, and therefore recommended that we didn't use it.


• All 50 of our sample liked the colour scheme we chose, and believe it is fitting to the genre of our trailer.
