Production/Research: Analysis Of My Ancillary Products

In order to clearly view the text written around my two ancillary products, please click on the images for clearer definition.

Production: Magazine Cover

After receiving audience feedback from my peers about the quote at the top of my magazine cover that states "Most entertaining documentary film of the year", I have decided that the word 'entertaining' does not reflect the narrative in the appropriate manner. Due to this, I have replaced it with the word 'concerning', in order to catch the viewers attention through highlighting the topics covered within my film. 

Research: Audience Feedback on Magazine Cover

Production: Word Gist

The following image shows a word gist that I have created showing what words were tweeted either individually, as a hashtag or as tagging an account, after the release of the trailer.

Production: Magazine Cover

I was originally planning on having the background of my magazine white. However, I thought that it would be effective to have a similarity within the film poster and magazine cover. Therefore I decided to use the same colour scheme and therefore have a black background.

I firstly tried cutting out an image and superimposing it on top of the background, however I did not feel that it looked right. Due to this, I used one of my pictures that consisted of a black background within the picture. This can be seen through the screenshot below.

Please fill out my audience feedback questionnaire about the above image of my magazine cover:

Production: Magazine Pictures

The following images show possible pictures which I shall use as the main image on my magazine cover. I made sure to get a range of pictures in order to have a lot to choose from.

 I then picked a few pictures and edited and enhanced them to make them look more striking and eye catching. This can be seen through the screenshots below.

Now I will have to decide which image to use on my cover. In order to come to a decision, I will ask both my focus group and members of the demographic.
