Final Trailer

Final Poster

Here is the new poster design. It has been hard work reaching this point and having our final Film poster, however a lot of progress had been made! A different layout was chosen and a new image was taken! We decided the main focus of the poster would be the protagonist but also include images of the other characters using snip its from the film, I think the poster has a fantastic layout including the title and extra text details!

Final Magazine

This is our final magazine, I am very pleased with the result as I feel a lot of time and effort has been put in place to create this. It links with my other anciallry task which was a film poster and also links with my trailer. All of the three productions present the genre and theme succesfully together!

Magazine Layout

To establish a great final magazine a lot of planning will need to take place. This image is the first digital draft made on PowerPoint it shows the different parts that will be included on the magazine and what will be placed in this different sections of the magazine.

Trailer Draft 1

Poster Draft 1

Here is the first extremely basic draft of our film poster. In a previous blog post I explained where the image came from which was from filming. The text is planned out and what will be included such as the the actors name and ratings/reviews. At the moment the background seems to cluttered to be a film poster therefore Photoshop will be used to manipulate this and maybe change the background as a whole. This can be done by extracting the background from the characters and then importing a suitable new background from a camera or the internet. Also the font and the colour of the font will be very different as this was a basic draft I used white to show clearly and distract it from the background whereas on the final poster the background will be different therefore we can experiment with colours of font that will suit the theme and genre and look more appealing to the audience.

Magazine Digital Draft

Here is our first draft for our magazine. I have used previous images from social media of our cast as the final photo for the final magazine is yet to be taken as we are still going through the planning process. However it is very similar to our pencil draft that featured four girls positioned with two on top and two at the bottom of the magazine. The theme is very clear in this draft as the Christmas connotations are clear. These (props) were imported from google and layered onto the original images of the characters. When the real magazine is photographed real props will be used instead of images. Also the facial expressions will be different which will distinguish between the characters personalities . The writing on top of the images will be simplistic and there wont be very much writing as the magazine we intend to create, 'entertainment weekly' has little writing around the main image and nearly all relate to the film being presented in the image. I also want the text beside to reveal that the magazine is a Christmas edition and therefore presents the theme clearly and as it is a all girl cast which is apparent from the main image it tell the audience it is chick flick genre. The next step for the magazine is to get feedback from this and then once noted and understood this feedback chnage and alter any criticism and begin the final process of the magazine.
