Again, after looking at other film magazines we acknowledged that it did not adhere to the conventions of an ordinary magazine. This is because it had a couple of mistakes such as the title of the film being bigger than the title of magazine which did not look balanced, the magazine cover also did not have any secondary features or other subtitles of articles it contains or even an issue date. We then went on and produced a final draft of our magazine and added all the missing conventions to it.
The brand identity of the magazine is keeping with the same images of iconic London and the same dark yet bright colours we are using such as red, black and white.
The only character that will be on the front cover of our magazine will be Nancy. This is one of the conventions we will adhere to on the magazine cover as most magazine covers always feature the main character(s) of a film. Other conventions we will be adhering to are secondary images of different images from our film, a sky-liner placed at the top of the magazine title. We are also adding a slogan for the magazine and a tag-line for the film.
We have chosen the style of our magazine to be simple and clear-cut. That is part of our brand identity as we have also decided to follow that same style on our poster campaign. The colours and the effects we have added to the image of the magazine is also coherent to our other products as it follows the same style as our brand identity.
This is the final production of our magazine cover:
Having looked at the blog again, it is clear that you have shown proficient and excellent work with scripts, storyboards, organisation of time and resources and thorough research into existing products and target audience.
ReplyDeleteHowever, there are still some areas that you could improve further and you need to ensure that effort on the blog comes from the group as a whole.
To improve you need to:
•Be more explicit when looking at conventions used film trailers, posters & magazine front covers. Make sure you add at least a paragraph that focuses on summarising how the text you are analysing follows/subverts common conventions. If you look at the 'Dark Knight' poster, you will see that it clearly focuses on the conventions used, you need to do the same for each analysis.
•Explain/detail your own magazine & poster in more depth. Use terms and justify reasons why you are creating it in this way- go through each element of your poster and front cover. Link to the brand identity that you are trying to create. Your magazine draft in particular needs further explanation.
•Ensure that you outline clear reasons for creating your trailer as you propose, noting conventions that you will be using.
•Enhance your target audience profile, giving more depth to your target audience- did you use a questionnaire? If so, what did you find out about your audience? You need a broader profile of the type of people who would watch/you’d want to watch your film.
•Have more detail/ideas on what your brand identity actually is.
