Construction - Original Image

One of the most iconic images of my promotional package is that of the girl in the hoody, which looks as if the image has been smashed into a million tiny pieces.

From Mrs S

This is good Sean. Might consider the small changes we discussed with the text.

From Mrs S

I like your constructions Sean. The images are really effective. I also think your trailer is genuinely creepy.

Mrs D

I like your front cover and poster. Well done. Just make sure that you incorporate some of the image in the trailer to create a recognisable advertising package for your film.

Construction - Magazine Cover

from Mrs S

I like what you've added to the magazine cover, I think you need a bigger gap between the two bits of text on the left hand side as they sort of run into each other at the moment.

This is really coming together Sean. When you're ready, make a decision whether or not the magazine needs more or whether that would spoil it.

Mrs D

I think your poster is really effective and the image works well. They layout is simple, yet effetive which is true to the conventions of posters. YOur Magazine front cover however needs quite a bit of work I'm affraid. You need to work on the layout - there is a lot of wated space.

I'm intrigued by your clips, but I like your finished poster. I think the magazine needs tweaking.

The first draft's image was too dark to be seen so I have edited the picture to make it more obvious.

Construction - Magazine Front Cover (Without Final Image)

From Mrs S

I like the idea of the unconventional layout, but it doesn't really follow the accepted codes and conventions, so the conventional one is probably your best bet, a mag with the masthead down the side would be too weird to do well.

Planning - Magazine Front Cover Layouts

This idea is a really traditional style for a magazine cover, except the subheading which is my film title will be the boldest on the page to add as much advertising as possible. The text on the page will follow that of my chosen poster, as will the colour scheme. The main image will be either the long shot of the ghost in the red hoody, or a close up of the face highlighting the demonic black eyes of the ghost. The quote will come from either myself or one of the actors which will be from one of the articles inside. The smaller subheadings will be for interviews with my actors, and it will say star of 'someone is there' so my film gains as much promotion from the front cover of the magazine as possible.



This is a fairly unusual layout for a magazine front cover, and especially as using this will make the sub-heading, which is the title of my film, the boldest and largest font on the page to give as much promotion to my film as possibel. The main image will be one of the iconic images the film will give the audience which is the long distance shot of a teenage girl in a red hoody, with demonic black eyes. There will be a quote from either myself or one of the actors about how good the film will be to give as much hype to the film as possible. The title for all the text on screen will be the same as my choice for my poster, and the colour scheme will follow that of my poster as well so it is a clear promotional package for my film.

Planning - Advertising Poster Ideas

This is a very traditional film poster layout with all the text information in one area, behind one large image. Seen as it's the most common style, it has got to be a very succesful layout for posters and deffinately a layout which is should consider to use. The main focus is the text with the bold name of the film in the centre of the page so it immediately catches your eye. This is going to be far more suitable for my film as it is important to get the name of the film across to my target audience as i do not have an established fan base for my film.
The main image will be a close up with seeing half the face of the ghost and the black eyes,the background around outside the image will be black. The fonts for all the text will be 'Charlemagne Standard' the title will be in bright white and the rest of the text in a pale yellow colour. The title will be the boldest with the tagline and release date biggest after that.

This layout is far less traditional but still quite common with some of the text information seperated. There is still a main image used instead of a background and the list of actors actresses producers etc in the traditional place, but the name of the film, tagline and release date is all in the top right hand corner of the page. This makes the image the main focus, which would be suitable for a film with an iconic image like friday the 13th or the texas chainsaw massacre but seen as my film is a new film with no large fan base this layout is probably not the most suitable for my films advertising.

The main image will be along shot of the ghost with a dark background and most of the image really dark with the bright red hoody. The text will be in a bold font 'Invers SF' all in white, and the title will be the largest and boldest, with the tagline and release date as the second biggest and boldest.

Man - Light jeans and white shirt, representing he's innocent to what's about to happen.

Ghost - Dark clothes, showing she's dark and evil. Red hoody (up) representing blood and that she's killing people. Dark hair over her face hiding her appearance, so the audience has a hint about who she might be, but do not know for certain.

Room - Needs to be a living room and does not need any specific requirements, but does need dark lighting and space for filming.
