Looking at other students work

To help us with our products our teachers thought it would be a good idea to look at other students work to get an idea of what to expect when making our products. Underneath is my feedback on some students work. Looking the other students worked really helped me wih my productss as i took from it the postive and negative things to do when creating my magazine and film poster.

Name of product	What I thought were the strengths	What I thought were the weaknesses
Sinster- film magazine	For this product I loved the image and thought it was perfect for the genre of the film magazine. The lighting was just right and the makeup used sets the mood well. The image being in black and white also makes it look very effective. The main title of the magazine I thought was also very good. The colour made it stand out on a darker part of the image and the font fit in well and looked spooky. I liked the use of the corner box with the red back ground as it stands out well on the magazine. I think this magazine would have got a grade B.	I thought the colours used for the text on the magazine didn’t stand out enough on the image. I think they if the colours were changed and maybe repositioned then the product would have looked a lot more professional. Also the two mini images on the main image didn’t stand out very well at all. It would have been a lot better if the images had a border around them making them stand out more.
Infensus- film poster	For this product I think the top image used was very effective and appropriate for the genre of the film. You can tell the genre of the film by the poster which is a good sign. I think the main title text and quote. I also think the credit box looked very professional which is a key element to a film poster. I like the effect used to blend the two images that are used together. I think this magazine would have got a grade C.	I think the bottom image didn’t fit in with the genre of film. For example you need the rest of the poster to know it’s an image for a horror poster. The poster Is also missing important conventions to a film poster such as actor’s names and release date.  I feel the poster would benefit more it just used the one image instead of two.
Under Rogue- film poster	I like the colours used for the title in the poster. The two colours go well together. I think the credit box also looks very professional which is a good thing. I think this magazine would have got a grade D.	The full image isn’t very good for a film poster. The full poster in my opinion is two spacious and is not portrait like most professional posters. Also there isn’t any proper realise date, actors names, ratings or anything apart from the title and credit box. The image isn’t edited or thought about I think. Also the man in the back of the image I thought was a person passing by not an actual part of the image so that needed to be made clearer.
