- 3. Witness Statement Comments Mr Crafts Miss Hanks I think what I did strongly in my pitch was that smartly and prepared I was for my presentation. This is important because I wanted to make my magazine to look professional as I was representing my magazine. I also thought I found myself prepared as I had rehearsed myself of what I was going to talk about, also I used a script to help me to remember important and relative parts for the magazine. However, to make my pitch better, I would still have to include more connotations behind the title and more information (related to the theory of needs) to the audience. With these points, it could give the audience more of an idea and understand of my magazine.
- 4. I sent out a questionnaire for people who had seen my pitch to fill in, here are some of the results: After most of the feedback, I think I managed to make a good presentation of my magazine. However, I have the same corrections for my presentation which it must include (e.g. future issues for my magazine, relate my audience to the Katz and Maslow theories). These points are important because it manages to connote how much more realistic the magazine can be to being published and how long he magazine can last if it has a realistic income.
- 5. Full Name: This was put within the questionnaire as one of the important questions out of the questionnaire. This is because it was so I could understand who the person was who marked my presentation and magazine idea so if I had any follow-up questions, I could ask these specific people
- 6. What do you think I did within my presentation of my magazine? This was put within my questionnaire because it helped me to understand the good and bad points of my pitch so I could improve on any factors that were not as strong so I could correct myself to sell my magazine better.
- 7. Why? This was helpful to define the individual points of what was good and what was bad in case people had put in a general overview of what they thought of my magazine.
- 8. Other Additional Comments This was used to give the people who were filling out my questionnaire to add in any more factors of what they though in case they had run out of space to evaluate my magazine and pitch.
- 9. What do you think I could improve on? This was used in case the people who had filled out my magazine had only good and supportive things to say. By saying ‘improve’ it could help me to narrow it down in order to go into detail over a certain factor which I must improve on to sell my magazine better.
- 10. Why? Again, ‘why’ was helpful for the specific person’s opinion so then I can take into action what they felt I needed to sell my magazine better than others, and to help my magazine stand out stronger than others.
- 11. Any additional comments? This was used again for any points to relate to what was said or if the specific person had run out of space in order to give me more feedback
- 12. How would you rate my presentation? For this question, the question answerers had to mark a box to whether they felt very strongly that it was very good, or very strongly that my presentation was bad – which I could again use to make any corrections.
- 13. How likely are you to invest with my magazine? This was another important question so then I could know to whether it was likely that my magazine would be able to be sold, or to the idea that some of these suggestions of corrections would make the magazine better before it can officially be distributed to the public.
- 14. After my pitch I managed to receive feedback on what went well and how I could improve. The things on how I could improve was to add more information to the work. For example, the first part of feedback was to include any further/other templates for the front cover designs. I used the outline of the first magazine I made because that is mainly what I will use for each magazine, however the colour may change per issue of the magazine. Another response to my feedback was within question 5/6. The response was to include more upon the finance that my magazine would have to see if my magazine could be successful or not. So I included within my Prezi presentation a slide of my magazine’s budget plan on how much I would spend and receive. The second thing I changed was to add in the Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs theory and Katz -Uses & Gratifications theory because this was the best way to discuss the reasons behind my target audience. These changes are important to the magazine because it manages to make it easier for buyers to understand the magazine better of what is happening.
- 15. In the end, my proposed ideas were strong within my Pitch because I made sure I was prepared by rehearsing my presentation a few times before and using the Checklist to make sure I had all the relevant information. Furthermore, I used a script for guidance which was a strong point as it reminded me of what to say and made sure I covered as much detail as possible rather than just remembering it from the top of my head. I also feel that overall, my design for the magazine was planned out well in order to reach the required standards of what I was trying to create. I particularly like how I managed to clearly relate my magazine to VIBE because of the same choice of layout, genre and publisher. However, something that I had to improve on was the connotations behind my magazine name as this is what the audience are going to refer to when picking up my magazine and I needed something catchy and relevant top the music genre. Furthermore, I needed more information related to theories, for example audience theory such as Katz. By adding in these it could give the audience more of an idea and understanding of my magazine. In the future if I was to improve on my magazine, I would change the tone of the colour orange. This is because I feel that the colour is too brighter orange – even though it helps to make my magazine more eye-catching.
