Ancillary Task | Media Magazine

Prior to me making the the media magazine cover, I stated that I wanted to follow the typical styles and formats from classic double page spread reviews in media magazines. An aspect of these magazines which I really liked was how much detail and information the reviews gave to their audiences allowing to fully deconstruct the successes of the films as well as their weaknesses. In some of the double page spread, there were also some pops ups in bright colours of striking patterns to help inform the reader about a topic relating to the film. With these ideas in my head, I eventually went ahead to make my very own double page spread using the examples of previous media magazines I have liked reading.

Below is my final media magazine product I have made for my short film. It features a full detailed review of the short film as well as a brief summary explaining the narrative. I have placed in a large text format the title of the film to inform the audience the film review which they will be reading, pop ups at the bottom left and top right informing the audience topics relating to the short film, page numbers, website links, and even a screen grab from the short film itself. I have also included a predicted interest curve which highlights the likelihood of audiences enjoying to watch the short film, but to also entice new viewers to potentially watch it too.

Overall, the layout of my double page spread is very presentable, presentable and fits very well with the expectations of a typical double page spread.

Below is a speedart video of the double page spread being made right the way through to the very end.
