Double Page spread research


    1. The image will go across the two pages or be on one with the writing on the other side.  Usually the photo goes on the left but not always.  The writing in a column will NEVER be split across the staple line!
    2. Stand first– this is an introduction to the article – it will sum up/precis what the article is all about and entice the reader to read on.
    3. Drop capital – it extends down 3 or 4 lines.  At the start of paragraphs the first letter is often much larger; makes reading easier and acts as navigation through the text.#
    4. Quotes – can be controversial and used to break up the copy/text or act as a headline and could use a larger, stand out font

    5. Headline – sometimes a quote from the interview with the artist. Often uses alliteration so that the headline stands out.
    6. The By Line – says who the article is by.
    7. Direct address – the model will often break the 4th wall.
    8. Columns usually 2 or 4 with equal guttering (spacing horizontally between paragraphs and vertically between columns).
    9. Colour scheme – continues with the brand, vibe of the other pages i.e. cover colour scheme.
    10. Page numbers and a little version of masthead or logo somewhere on the page.See the source image
    11.  Instead of full stop at the end of the article they use a small block or something to do with their logo/masthead (for example on NME they might have an ‘n’).
    12. Appropriate language/register to establish a relationship with the target audience.
    13. They may have a release date for album, tour date or a programme
    14. On the photo they usually have somewhere by it the name of the photographer.
    15. Questions to the artist from the interview will be in a different colour, and the name of person who asked the question

Evaluation

Overall, I think the Audio-Visual aspect of the coursework could have gone a lot better. I was happy with the narrative and what I got filmed but I struggled when it didn't reach the required time limit. Therefore, I had to rush to film some more footage and edit it together to make the title sequence which I wasn't too pleased with. There's also a lot of fillers between the dialogue as the people playing the characters weren't too confident with the script. I felt a lot better about my magazine cover as I think I used a lot of the magazine conventions that I wanted to use. I think my double page spread was maybe a bit too overcrowded but I wanted to make sure I could fit in some stills of the programme in order to have more convergence between the two products. I also feel a lot better about the main photos used for the magazine as they had direct eye contact with he audience whereas the ones I previously used didn't.

Possible Location 2

Image
I personally think this location is better than the previous one as it has more open space and a clearer entrance. It is similarly derelict, contributing to the atmosphere and tone of the scene. Also, it is also clearly in a rural environment, so stays with what I wanted for the mise-en-scene. However, it is quite close to some allotments so there may be people nearby making some noise but it shouldn't be too distracting.
