Movie Magazine Cover in real life

when displaying my movie poster on billboard to give them that real life effect I thought I would do the same with my magazine cover and have it placed among other magazines or on a coffee table as that is where most people read magazines and books.

Comparing my Movie Magazine Cover to a real Movie Magazine Cover

Below I have compared my movie magazine cover to a real movie magazine cover which I had some inspiration from. I have copied some of the real magazines conventions like a white masthead and the colour scheme. I also placed images of other things rather than just having one image, to entice my audience.

Final Movie Magazine Cover

Below is my final draft of my movie magazine cover, when receiving the feedback from my target audience on the third draft there were only a few minor changes I had to make like making a few cover lines bigger which I was happy about.

Third Draft of my Movie Magazine Cover

After taking on board the feedback that I received from my teacher, I made the changes I was asked to and definitely see my magazine cover much more eye catching and realistic. I changed the titles and cover lines as they were dark and also moved my movie title down the page to create more room for my cover lines which I made thicker and colourful so they were more recognisable.  I also changed my movie title to white as I wanted it to be more vibrant for my audience and readers.

Movie Magazine cover second draft feedback

When getting feedback for my cover I decided I wanted feedback from my teacher rather than target audience to get more accurate and reasonable feedback and how I can improve my magazine cover better.

Movie Magazine second draft Construction- Cloning

When doing the second draft of my movie magazine I wanted to re-do my masthead as I didn't feel it was big enough and if I had of made it any bigger it would have then covered my characters head.
In order to create more space to have a bigger masthead I moved my image down the page and cloned the background of my image using the cloning tool, this was time consuming but I was happy with the result.

Movie Magazine Cover Second draft

This is the second draft of my movie magazine cover that I created on Photoshop. I followed the feedback I had been given from my target audience on my first magazine cover like making my masthead bigger and including more cover lines and I also  decided to include more than what feedback I was given like a puff and some colour throughout my magazine cover(red). I also moved my skyline to the bottom of the page and included some PNG images of the movies mentioned as well as a film reel to make my magazine look more like a movie magazine..

Movie Poster Advertising

I placed my movie poster on some billboards to advertise my movie and see how they looked on a bill board as this is a popular method of advertisement for movie posters.

 

 

Comparing my Movie Poster to a real Movie Poster

when creating my movie magazine poster I gained a lot of inspiration from 2 movie poster I had seen and one in particular that was within the same genre as my poster which was "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button". When comparing my poster to this movie poster I have seen that I have met a number of  the conventions within a movie poster like billing blocks, actors names along the top, image type and other conventions that are crucial for the poster to look realistic. I do realise that these posters are landscape and mine is portrait but I wanted to challenge this inspiration in order to make my poster unique.

                                                                                 

 

Movie Poster final draft

this is the final draft of my movie poster. I made a few changes to it like taking out the release date and adding in a hash tag instead to show viral marketing within my poster and I also included a twitter icon, the same one as my magazine cover as social media is a big part of media products and makes my audience aware if they want to know anymore about the movie that they can look it up on social media.

Target audience feedback on magazine photos on padlet

Movie Poster third draft

This is the third draft of my movie poster, when looking at my first and second draft I made sure I had all the movie poster conventions included in my poster and I decided that my original edited images were more eye catching for the poster rather than the black and white images. I also added "coming soon" and a release date at the bottom of the poster.

Movie Poster second draft

This is the second draft of my Movie Poster, I took on board all the changes that my peers had told me to make in order to make my poster look more realistic and eye-catching like changing the colour of my images and including a tag line from my trailer. Below is the construction for the changes I made also.

Third draft of Teaser Trailer

This is the third draft of my teaser trailer that I made on final cut pro. When looking back at my feedback from my second draft I noticed that I did not have as many changes to make unlike my first draft. I did however add another piece of footage of my main character holding photos of the boy who goes missing in between two inter titles as it said to do so on my feedback sheet. I also added a few more transitions and tightened up the sound so everything linked into one another.
