Magazine feature article inspiration 
To design our feature article, as a method of promoting out film AFTERTASTE; we decided to find an existing magazine to be able to draw inspiration from such as the structure, layout and design of a successful article which would enable us to reciprocate it. 

We found these two examples which we felt fit in well with the chosen structure of the feature article for AFTERTASTE. The way that the article is presented is very clean cut and draws the audiences eyes towards the large image as well as the different bits of text which are in bold. In my opinion, when designing our own version for the feature article of our film AFTERTASTE i believe that it will work really well if we use a large image of the main protagonist pf the film (in direct address) on the large side of the article because it reveals a little bit about who the character of the film is and what they look like, this might intrigue readers of the article to want to watch the film. 
Since looking at published feature articles we have decided that we will use the following conventions in order to make our feature article successful: 
  • Drop Cap
  • Pull quotes
  • Simple fonts
  • A side article
We have chosen to highlight these four specific conventions because we want to show the readers a better insight into the production of AFTERTASTE and involve them more as they will know the main characters opinions and things they have said in the making of the film as well as featuring the context behind the film. We believe that methods such as pull quotes can easily accomplish this because a readers eyes are instantly averted to text that sticks out during a longer length article and we believe that these different quotes included in the article will hopefully hook the readers attention.

Rule of thirds

Rule of thirds The rule of thirds is a photography technique which is used to help divert the attention of the viewer of an image to a specific viewpoint. The rule of thirds can be applied into videography and film when creating the establishing shots or introducing/ showing emotion on a character's face. The rule of thirds is created by a grid method, which indicates that the focal point of a photo is placed in the centre third of the grid.                                                                           Here are some examples of the rule of thirds in action:

Synopsis- AFTERTASTE

Synopsis Title: Aftertaste Tagline: A sweet offer never comes without a bitter aftertaste Target audience: The target audience of our film will be 15-23 year old, students /working class people of both sexes. This is because domestic abuse is topical issue in that age range and society. We also feel that this issue is more prominent in those early stages of adult life, because young couples are still naive to the world, and would expect someone that “loves” them not to do that. Classification: Reasons for classification: The film will be classified as a 15 because the BBFC classification states that violence may be strong but no severe injuries may be shown; can include strong threats and language and also strong/ dangerous behaviour may be shown full so the audience can’t copy; it’s kept discrete. Story Summary: The film is about a young couple called Blake and Amber; they live together and are planning a future family. Despite Blake’s tro...

Question 3

Question 3 What did you learn from your audience feedback? Audience response  is a type of interaction associated with the use of  audience response  systems, to create interactivity between a presenter and it's  audience . Having and creating audience feedback is a very important within the production of the short film that we created as it is a way in which we can receive the opinions and preferences from the people that the film is specifically aimed at. My group found that it was necessary to have this type of feedback collated throughout the process of creating the film because we wanted to make the production and distribution stages as successful as possible for the end product and taking on board constructive criticism is very important because we wanted to edit the film and different products to please the target audience.  There are many ways that can be used in order to collate this sort of data from an...
