Magazine Research

Disney and me looks like it is aimed at a target audience of about 4-7 year olds. It has a very simplistic front cover where mainly pictures of disney characters cover the front, this is I think a good way of attracting their target audience as each individual child will have a different favourite disney character and by seeing even one of them on the cover they will want the magazine. It has very few teasers advertising competitions or what is in the magazine, as judging from its target audience they wouldn't be able to apply unless and adult did it for them and so it isnt really necessary. It does say about activities in the magazine, including colouring in pages and pull out posters, which I think is a good idea and will include on my own magazine front cover. Also, I will make my front cover have all of my characters from 'The Groovy Gang' on my magazine cover to attract all children who would watch the show.

An update of work.

I showed my work to my teacher who suggested that for the introductions of my character, instead of having them doing the same thing of cheesy smiles and waves, i should shoot different shot locations to make it look like there are clips from other episodes to introduce them, which is the technique they use in the opening of 'Saved by the Bell'. So, I have now shot a few different clips that can be included in my opening, but I would say I haven't got enough just yet and in need of some more ideas, as I have had difficulty into coming up with ideas to include and shoot. My photos he did say were good enough, but I'm not too sure, I think I could make the lighting and quality of the pictures better, so I am contemplating re-doing them.
