AUDIENCE RESEARCH Feedback

After getting feedback from my peers they came to the conclusion that my text type was too large and the whole layout needed to be a lot smaller.

I also needed to add an editors note which can be seen on the bottom right hand side.

Here I am in the process of making everything look smaller and neater.

PRODUCTION Audio Visual content

My audio visual is a cross between a trailer and a short movie preview of the film 'Back to the 80's'
There are various techniques and intertextual references that I used in the video including the filter 'bad tv' to go over the visual content when she wakes up surrounded by 80's objects. Also, at the start there is a stranger things poster by her bed although this is hard to see. Later on there is a 'back to the future' poster which resonates with the idea of the 'back to the 80's film'

WEBSITE screenshots

Home page

When you first enter the website you immediately see the image above. An introduction to the brand is shown. I think that this creates a friendly tone for the reader. 'We live and breathe Film&TV' Is in large letters as this is the slogan for my brand, and I wanted this to be prominent throughout my products. 

 

These three images are a slideshow underneath the welcome message to give a preview into what is to come. 

The background matches the background of my two images, cloudy, but a sunset. 

Exclusive Interviews

This is the interview of 'El' Who is the main face of the issue. Therefore I thought it would be important to include only a small part of her interview.... the readers will have to buy the magazine to read the rest :) 

Left is when you hover over one of the boxes it reveals a quote that has been said in the interview- I think that this is a nice interesting touch to break up the layout and make it more enticing for the reader. I also think that this layout fits my target demographic more successfully than if the interview was just in columns.

DEVELOPING choosing a brand name

After establishing that I wanted to do a magazine based around Film and TV, I wanted my brand name to reflect the content of the magazine. I looked into a number of words that summed up the brand. These were

Cinema 

Cinematic

Aesthetics

Camera

Focus

I played around with some of these words in different languages and when I translated 'Cinematique' into French I got 'Cinematique' I really liked this and I conducted some audience feedback to my primary demographic on the name.

The outcome was that 95% thought that the name connoted themes of 'cinema' and 'movies' and 100% of people liked the name and thought it was unique

I also decided to stick with this name as the French twist gives the sense of sophistication to the brand. It isn't just another cheap entertainment magazine, so therefore I chose a price that would fit the branding. 

DEVELOPING of Issue 1

1) My first issue started off with my subject standing on the road with a blue background sky. However, after feedback, I came to the same conclusion as them. The setting was too realistic to be associated with stranger things, as it has a strong fantasy element to it. Also the colour palette of stranger things is more of a red colour














2) I changed the brand name to a red colour to match the stranger things colour palette. I was just experimenting with the layout of text and how that would look on the cover.

3) I cut out my model and put her infront of a cloudy sunset photo that I had taken in the summer holidays. This connotes a sense of fantasy and mystery. I got inspiration from the magazine cover of 'Satellite and TV'. I added a tagline 'We live and breathe film & tv' as I think this really shows what the magazine is about.


   4) When looking into other film and television (or entertainment magazines in general) I noticed that they were all very busy so I added small features of stories around the over. Also, the subjects were more focused on their upper body or face, so I cropped the subject so she was closer and I thought this was a successful change.
