Research and planning audience feedback videos


Today I created the first draft of my music magazine cover, contents page and double page spread analysis then I asked 3 students from my college some questions on the drafts about colours I have used, about the layouts and their opinion on them. While I was recording my audience I gave my magazine covers to them and asked them the questions. Now I will use these answers to improve my magazine and draw them again according to their comments. After the recording I uploaded the video on a computer, then opened it in MoviePlayer and imported it to my file. Then, I uploaded the video to my blog.

The first question I asked the students was "what do you think about the colours on the magazine?" to which they answered "I really like the choice of the colours, they are very attractive and out there. You followed the three colour rule". All three students gave similar response to this question therefore, I will not need to change the colours.

The second question I asked was that "are the articles on the magazine something you would read?" to which one of them replied "yes they are very interesting and related to pop genre" another one said "yes because they are and they are what teenagers would nowadays read" this means that I have related the articles to my target audience.

Another question I asked was that that "is there anything else you would like to see on he magazine?" to which they replied "yes I would like to see Justin Bieber and One Direction. Also I would like to see more interviews with with different celebrities and models". This means that I would need to add stories and pictures related to Justin Bieber and One Direction. Also I would need to include more exclusive interviews with celebrities and models.

The next question I asked was that "do you think the mastheads are appropriate if so why?" and they replied "the masthead is appropriate because its fun and interesting, its something I'd pick up because its bold and attractive and yes because its called 'pop sensation' and its a pop magazine". This shows that I wouldn't need to change the masthead so I'm going to keep it.

I also asked "is there anything you would change if so why?" and the first student answered "I wouldn't really change anything like the layouts are really good" whereas the second one said "I would like to change the layout of the double page spread because its too simple" and the third one said "I would add colour to the double page spread because it does not look like its from the same magazine". This suggests that I will have change the layout of the double page spread and ass colour to it to make it look more interesting and so that it looks like its from the same magazine.

And the last question I asked was "does the contents page and the double page spread stand out to you?" to which they replied "the contents page stands out but not the double page spread because the double page spread needs more colour and different layout". Taking these factors into account I would have to add colour to the double page spread and change the layout of it to make it attractive and so that it looks its from the same magazine as the cover and contents page.
