After my features page pitch to the target audience, I asked them to feedback to see what is successful in my features page from a scale of 1-5.
5 = I like it a lot
1 = It doesn't work
With feedback on my style and layout the majority gave a 5, so this has been successful as my audience has favoured this. So when making improvements I need to keep the layout and styling features of the same style so that my features page continues to please and attract my audience.
With using the forms and conventions of a features page my range of feedback ratings was from 3-5, to improve this I think i shall add more pull quotes, a summary of the article and a page lead, so that my features page follows conventions of a features page even more so.
My accurate language style and mode of address also gained between 3-5, but the majority, 5. It was also commented that my target audience comes through formally, which is what I was aiming for, so that the magazine can cater for all classes. I could improve the mode of address and language style by making the text feel more personal by adding a page lead to introduce the artist and the article in a manner to the reader feels more comfortable and at home. I will also do this by adding an artist signature and more pull quotes so that the reader can feel they know the artist so my magazine can establish a loyal readership. I can improve the language style by adding more exclamations to make the article seem more upbeat and exciting, so the reader will be more interested to read on.
I asked the audience to rate my use of camera angles and shot distances, these gained mostly a score of 5 and i feel the look a positioning of the images have been successful so i will make no further improvements with artwork.
I gained mostly a score of 4 for the category asking to judge the variety of fonts and text size. In the pull quotes I am going to add to amend my features page, I will include more of a variety of text sizes but no more different typefaces, as i feel that this will make the page lose its style which was praised by the focus group and add visual clutter, giving a very busy look to the page, which is not the brand identity style of the magazine.
The use of mise-en-scene gained all scores of 5 and one 4, I feel this was successful as I used props such as the guitar and stool and decided what the artist would be wearing to add to the style of the music, which came across obvious to the focus group that it was acoustic. When working on the computer making my features page, the lighting looked good, but printed out, the main image looks very dark against the black background, so I think i shall improve this by adjusting the brightness of the image so it appears more striking.
