Final Magazine Front Cover





this is the final! and we have used a lot of conventions and we have also challenged some.
used:


  • bar code

  • masthead

  • date/price

  • website

  • plug/puff

  • cover lines

and we have challenged



  • tag line - it is linked to the magazine also movie

  • new actress being introduced

it is not common to introduce a new actress on the magazine front page, however we challenged this and introduced a new actress.


as you can see the colours are the same as the ones used in the poster and teaser. it was important to use the same colours.


when we did our premier we made our invitations and they looked like this:

we put thumb prints on the invitations, to make it look cool and effective and scary, to add to the horror genre! this was quiet fun! my thumb prints were very good =]. any way on the invitations we used words that linked to our film. so we wrote you have been summoned, this we thought was perfect!!! and we were very excited.

a lot of people came to view our trailer, and see the posters and magazine front cover, and we got a lot of feed back mostly all positive.

there was about 1 or 2 negative feed back, however most people said that they loved it.

all my feedback is in my evaluation. you can have a look at that. prezi was something new to me but it was very exciting. i have never used it before and that is the exciting part, i love to play around with things my self, although there was a video you watch before using it, i didnt watch it as i just wanted to get into it and try everything and experiment myself.

The Final Poster!!

this is the completed poster! i am very happy with the poster!
mist has been used, this represents mysteriousness, it shows the unknown! weve used the same colours in the poster and the magazine front cover, the colours are Red, Black, and White. these are the main colours , these colours have been used through out our teaser trailer so it is right that we use it in the poster and magazine.

i have analysed otehr posters and have used some conventions of horror posters, however we have challenged a lot of things for example almost all of the horror posters are dark and our one is very bright and light as i said in the teaser the light is usd becuase it is challenging a convention of the horror genre, as people feel safe during the day so we are making them feel scared in their own comfort zone.

we have used the same font in the poster, teaser and magazine , the font for the movie name is the same it is called open classic it is important to use the same because it is an important link between the the products.

we have used the main things in the poster the name, tagline, production name, director, producer, website. however we do not have a proper date this is because the teaser says coming soon and does not have a date so it would not make sense if the poster had a date. and it is a link in between the two.
