This is the second draft of my final magazine. I edited the brightness and contrast of the main image to make my cover star look scarier and mysterious which relates to the film genre. I added the main cover line 'Flat 6' in larger font than the other cover lines to make it stand out more and to initiate to the audience that it is the cover line relating to the main image. I added 'The World's Best Movie Reviews' as Total Film often include this on their magazine front covers. I added a list of upcoming movies which is also common for Total Magazines but only included horror films as it is the 'Ultimate Horror Edition.' I made sure I included the typical conventions such as the bar code, date, issue number, website and price.
I showed the second draft of my film magazine to my peers and teacher and received the following feedback:
- Overall, the second draft is a large improvement to your first draft.
- The main image is better quality then your first draft so is much more effective - it is now evident that the main cover star is the 'villain' or 'baddy' in your film.
- The masthead is extremely effective and clearly highlights it is a 'horror edition' of 'Total Film.'
- It looks like a realistic 'Total Film' magazine - you have used the same bar code, the 'World's Best Movie Reviews' logo and have stuck to a similar layout.
- For improvement, there is a lot of empty space. If you look at existing 'Total Film' magazines, they are often full of cover lines and images etc.
- Therefore, think of adding some other elements to your front cover to make it more realistic.
