Evaluation Question 3 - What have you learned from your audience feedback? - Magazine

Here is the completed version of my magazine:

Below is a video that I made about the audience feedback of my magazine:

I would like to thank (in order of appearance); Daniel Greyson, Sarah Adams, Karl Trotter, Daniel Harris, Marnie Senior, and Mr Skipp for giving up their time to give me some feedback on my magazine cover.

From the audience feedback on my trailer I have learnt that the magazine that I have created looks professional, due to the different conventions that I have used on my product. The conventions that I have included in my magazine are the typical conventions that are used on a magazine cover. 

However, from my audience feedback I have learnt that the convention that I have displayed to the highest amount of skill is the rule of thirds. Despite the rule of thirds, being an easy convention to master I believe that it is vital for the overall look of the magazine cover. This is because the rule of thirds organises the way that your magazine cover is going to and makes it understandable for the audience and easy to look at. the rule of thirds also makes it easier to set out the page as it allows the producer of the product to plan their magazine cover and decide where everything should go.

Despite this, I have learnt that some people have problem reading where it says Ripper's Replica on the magazine cover, due to the font. This highlights my failed attempt to highlight the historic aspect of the film with the Victorian style writing. This means that if I had the chance to I would go back and edit the font so the it either stood out more, or so it was clearer to read by changing the font to a simpler one.

Furthermore, I have learnt that there are problems with main image, such as it's quality due to lighting and blurriness. This was an issue that I tried to solve by trying different; cameras, camera lenses, and locations, but ultimately that was the best quality picture I could come out with. I need try to improve the picture using adobe photo shop but ultimately ended up making it worse so I kept it the same, barring the background. However, there was some criticism of the black background, in the manner that it was too dark. This is something that I have taken on board and if I was to red the magazine cover I would pick a different background, but I chose black so that I didn't break the rule of thirds (that applies to all conventions of the magazine) as I chose to use the colours; white, red, and black to add a sense of continuity between the; magazine cover, film poster, and the trailer.
