movie cover and poster comparison

this is a prezi presentation comparing my products to real life products

movie magazine cover construction

This is the start of my magazine cover i had taken my chosen picture now i trying different fonts and colours  to see which best fits .

 I decided to use yellow as my chosen font with a drop shadow added to the font to make it easier to read and helps it stand out on the page.











I then used dafont.com to get my chosen font for my masthead .

i then edited my masthead added red into it to match the theme of horror and it matched seamlessly along side the yellow font.









I then took into consideration what real magazine covers include so i added "HORRIFYINGLY GOOD STUFF"  which is memorable and is also a pun to entice the customers as the covers about a horror movie.

I then added a barcode to add a professional look
 to it as all magazine have barcodes on them then i added a film reel along the bottom which i plan to feature new and upcoming movies on.









                                                                                I then added social media icons above the barcode to attract a larger audience along with the price next to the barcode which is typical of a magazine cover.








I then added a red circle to add a puff to attract more people to buy the magazine, which has exclusive content inside it.









                                                                                I then added the name of the movie featured on the cover placing it over the main image so its easily recognizable.                                                                                    

 Lastly i added some new and upcoming films along the bottom in the film reel which i though was original but professional.

movie magazine cover final draft

This is my final draft, i added in all the advice i was given from my target audience to improve it and i feel it has a professional look and resembles a real magazine cover 

movie magazine cover feedback

This is some of the feedback i had received from my target audience which i will now use to improve my magazine cover and make it as professional as possible.

movie poster billboard advertising

I added my poster onto a billboard, so show how it would be advertised, which helped make it feel like a real film going to be released to the public.

Target audience feedback movie poster

I used padlet to gain criticism on how to improve my poster, i took the point on baord and incorporated them int my final draft.

movie poster first draft

This is the first draft of my movie poster, i tried to be original in the making of my poster challenging the codes and conventions of real movie posters. I wanted to make mine original to the best of my ability but still hold some of the key information from a real movie poster such as when its being released a large title along the top etc.

This is my first draft i will now get feedback from my target audience on ways to improve my poster to the best of my ability. 

Construction of my Teaser Trailer using Final Cut Pro.

Here I have shown how I have used final cut pro to manipulate my footage into a teaser trailer off the horror genre.

Construction of my Teaser trailer

 

 

 

 

Filming day

 

This is from my first day of filming, I had to use a video camcorder to video my teaser trailer with great quality, also I used a tripod to put the camcorder on to produce clear clips along with a large microphone to capture hard to hear pieces when my actors are being shot from a distance to produce a clearer sound to enhance its quality. on my days filming I got lucky with the weather it remained dry but was dull and cloudy which matched with my theme of horror to create a better effect whilst filming. what I had filmed was previously planned on a storyboard to ensure I knew what I was doing, it took me two days overall to collect all my clips to a decent quality, which will help me secure a good quality teaser trailer once I have done.

 

 

 

Locations

 

This is some of the photos of the location I used which is an abandoned house in Portadown , which has a large woodland area to the front of the building, the run down look of the building helps to create the horror effect and mood for the genre of horror that I've chosen.  It has a dark and eerie atmosphere which adds to the effect of the trailer, which is why it was a good choice of location which I had chosen.

 

 

 

Piecing together of footage

 

Once I had filmed my required footage to a good standard I then went on to using the mac, which had software on it called final cut pro, which I can use effectively to piece together my teaser trailer. I used this software to piece together my footage seamlessly taking advantage of the various techniques such as slow motion, cutting pieces of the clips that aren't useful away and adding sound effects and much more to give it a realistic look by taking advantage of the various effects and options available with this great piece of software.

 

Final outcome

I will then go on to create my first draft, which I will then get target audience feedback for in order to create a much improved second draft, before making the final touches and finishing my final finished piece with as best a finish that I can by comparing it to real life teaser trailers and try and stick to the codes and conventions that's an audience expects from a horror whilst creating a few of my own along the way to make it more interesting for the viewers.
