Origional flat plans
This is the plat plan for my front cover
Here I have placed the main image large and in the centre of the page. I have placed a number of hooks around the image in order to make it look as much like a conventional front cover as possible. I then also added a banner at the top of the page in order to draw in the attentions of potential buyers.
Here is the flat plan for my contents page:
The reason I have kept the large fonts at the top is to keep with my house style. I have then placed all my stories in different signposted coloumns in order to keep it neat and tidy. I have added an editors letter in order to make it seem more authentic and used a number of images of different people in order to allow readers to see what else could have been in this article
These are my flat plans for my feature article
I have kept to the typcal conventions of a magazine by keeping my text in columns. I have also added three images to keep the readers entertained, when also adding indented quotations in order to grab the attention of the readers.

Question type research
There are two types of questions that you can use which are open and closed.
Open questions are the ones that you don’t give them options. These questions are good when you know that there are going to be multiple answers of them. Or that it is going to be a question where you know that there is going to be an opinion included in there. For example, ‘What is your favourite band?’ or, ‘In your opinion, what colours attract you to a product?’ This means that people have a chance to expand on their answers.
Closed questions are better when you are looking for a particular answer to something. Or something where you can only have particular answers for. For example, ‘Are you male or Female?’ This means that you will only get the answers that you need. This is also the type of question where you are more than likely going to use a scale for.

MONSTERS
Looking at the film Monsters, research how the film was produced and distributed to the audience, consider the following:
• Target audience
• All elements of production, including cast and crew, location and budget
• Marketing and distribution, UK and Worldwide
Target Audience
The UK rating for this movie is 12A. This means that no one younger than 12 may see the ‘12A’ film in a cinema unless accompanied by an adult and films classified ‘12A’ are not recommended for a child below 12. An adult may take a younger child if, in their judgement, the film is suitable for that particular child. In such circumstances, responsibility for allowing a child under 12 to view lies with the accompanying adult. This might be because the film may contain some scenes that they suggest are not suitable for a certain audience.
In other parts of the world the film is credited 12. This means that even without the parent the young person will not be able to see the film if they are accompanied by an appropriate adult.
All elements of production, including cast and crew, location and budget
• The film ‘Monsters’ was directed and written by Gareth Edwards. The cast was also relatively small in the characters that we know the names of. These were:
o Whitney Able as Samantha Wynden
o Scoot McNairy as Andrew Kaulder
• Virgo films film equipment $15000
• Budget $500000
• Low budget because of presume cameras capture digital video rather than 35mm film
• When the film was relocated, no permission was asked in advance and extras were already there at the time
• It was shot in Belize, Mexico, Guatemina, Costa Rica and Texas over a period of three weeks.
• For 90% of the film, the crew was comprised of 7 people in one van.
• Edwards did all the special effects themselves, using off the shelve Adobe software. Zebrush, Autodesk, 3D’s, Mac’s.
Marketing and distribution, UK and Worldwide
• Monsters premiered at the ‘South by South West’ festival on the 18th March 2010.
• On the 17th March Magnet realising required the rights for the North American distribution.
• U.K Premiere was at the Edinburgh national film festival on the 18th June 2010.
• Social network ‘four square’ was announced view entertainment and Cineworld cinemas set up infected locations which gave user access to exclusive Monsters content and the chance to win random on the spot prizes.
• In the opening weekend for ‘Monsters’, it took in $20,508 (USA). This meant that there was a Groβ profit of $237,301.
• The trailer for the movie gives us as the audience an idea of what it is going to be about. We can see that it is set in numerous different settings and that it will maybe have a spooky feel to it.
