Production- constructing magazine

During secondary audience feedback, the audience still felt that even though they felt the gold text   brought out the image and made it more appealing and effective as a magazine that the text font needed to be changed to a font more simular or reflective of that peroid of time. I then researched into fonts used in Film Noir and fonts used on magazine and movie posters in that era. I then found a simular font and used serif draw plus to try to recreate the font. I feel this change is effective as it looks more like a Film Noir magazine.

Production- Constructing magazine

Changes made to Magazine based on audience feedback on the media texts. Many People suggested that The magazine needed some colour to bring it to life and make it less dull. I feel the changes made are effective because they bring out the photo as well as making the magazine more apealing to target audience and making it stand out from a magazine stand Also changes that have been made are basic lining mistakes and capitol letters.

Auidence research into drafts- production

I showed 20 people, my draft versions of my trailer , movie poster and movie magazine, and asked them to fill out the following questionaire in order to ensure the media text is reaching the audience in the way it is intended to and areas where it is not as effective can be improved.
