Final poster sketch

Film poster 2nd draft

Here is my second draft of my film poster for 'Molly', i changed the picture from my previous draft of the film poster, this picture shows a close up of Molly but only showing half of her face this could mean that because she dies in the movie she is not that important also you can see Freddy in the background behind her which shows that she is being followed, this tells the audience straight away that the genre of this film would be stalker/slasher. I also added the films tagline just beneath the movie title this tells the audience a bit of the message behind the film, the tagline 'you cant hide away from the past' sounds creepy meaning the past will haunt you eventually. I also added more film logos at the bottom so it looks more realistic. I also experimented with some fonts and chose the most relevant. For my final draft i will experiment with more fonts for the billing block and also experiment with the main image lighting make it look more scary so it conveys the genre.

Film Magazine second draft

Here is my second draft of my magazine, i have made changes with the typography, main image and background. I added in a image of blood spatter behind the main image, this makes the genre look more clear and the audience will realise that it is a horror issue magazine. I experimented with fonts for the sell lines which will make the magazine look more attractive. 

Film poster 1st draft

Here is my first poster draft, i have followed the basic conventions of a poster, i followed flat plan that i made easier so it was easy for me to sort out the layout. I used the same font for 'Molly' as i did for my magazine as i thought that it was a very suitable font and would look good on the poster too.  I kept the colour scheme black and white as these colours contrast well with the background. The main image is of Molly and Freddy, it is clear that Freddy is stalking Molly by watching her secretly, we can tell by Molly's facial expressions that she is unaware and looks uncertain of what is happening, she also looks innocent. It is shot in an exterior setting to show the audience an insight of what will happen in the movie.

1st front cover magazine draft

Here is my first draft of my film magazine cover, the colour schemes i will be using are black, yellow and red. Black connotes danger, the yellow connotes mystery and red connotes horror, blood. I haven't experimented with much fonts for the sell lines however i will be doing this to develop my magazine further. My main image is a mid shot of my model 'Freddy' who is looking directly at the camera which is a basic convention of a magazine cover as the main image character looks directly at the camera. as you can see i have used all the basic conventions of a magazine as i think it will look more realistic by following the conventions.

I have made a magazine plan on how I want the layout of my magazine to be. this will help me further on with my magazine drafts.

2nd draft magazine sketch

Here is my second magazine sketch that I have done, I used the masthead font that was most voted for rom my audience research. I have followed conventions of real media magazines. I got my inspirations from film magazines such as Empire and Premiere.

Masthead experiments

Here are fonts that i like from dafont.com. I will be using some of these fonts for my magazine and poster. I like these because it makes it clear what my chosen genre is. By seeing the font you can easily tell that it represents horror. My magazine will be based on a horror genre so these type of fonts would be perfect, however some fonts are bold and stand out. I will make a tally chart and ask people which front they would want to see on a horror magazine cover, this will help me to chose the right font. 

Here is a bar chart of the votes i got for each of the fonts, most people prefer number 4, From the feedback i got i was told that this font stands out then the rest and it makes it clear that it is a horror font and represents the genre horror. I will use this font as it will be the most relevant for my magazine masthead name which is going to be 'Film Nation'.

1st draft pencil sketch of front cover magazine

Here is my first sketch of what I will like my magazine to look like, I have followed the conventions of a magazine so that it looks realistic. My magazine will be called 'Film nation' as this connotes that the magazine is all about the film industry which makes it clear that its a film magazine.

Magazine inspirations 

 

Here are some front cover of some horror magazines that inspire me, I like the way some conform to magazine conventions. The colour scheme is mainly black, red and orange this connotes the horror genre. I will use these type of conventions when it comes to designing my magazine as my genre is part of the horror genre.
