Evaluation Qu. 2

Magazine cover


This is our final magazine cover. It has changed alot since we did our fist draft that i posted before, it went from being a black background to a white background. This is as when we took our photos of us for the magazine cover we were against a light background and we couldnt make it fit in well with our first magazine design. we were going to cut us out the image but we thought it still wouldnt look right on the ack background. 
we kept to using red with black and white so we are still sticking to a horror theme. we have also included a barcode, taglines, pricing, other advertisments which are neccesary to have on a front cover of a magazine. We also kept to using the same Empire Logo so its as real to life as the empire magaizne.

i am happy with our final design the text fits well with the image and the idea of having the stars behind the making of the film is a different way to advertise the film without doing it directly.

photos for our magazine cover




Today katie kate and i had to take some photos that we could use as an image on our front cover. we took about 5 different ones from different angles this was to see which would look better on our front cover. We each were in the photo as the magazine cover is about the stars behind the making of our film. in the picture we each held a prop that had significance to being a film producer etc.. such as a tripod, light and a clapper board. We stood against a white background for the photo as it will make it easier for us when it comes to inputting text onto our front cover. When we chose our image we went onto photoshop to adjust the brightness of our image to make it have a better effect. Now we just have to make some final edits and adjustments then our cover will be done.

Starting our magazine cover

Today we are going to start designing our magazine cover, we are going to base it on Empire magazine. we will have to find a suitable image to put on the front cover, it has to be different than the one we used for our teaser poster.
We are sticking to a black, red and white colour scheme to make it link to our horror theme and also Empire magazine usually have a certain colour scheme for their magazine to relate to what they are advertising on the front.
We have started designing the layout, added title, website tagline and barcode, now we are just inputting other advertisements and we have to find an image that will go.

Final poster


This is our final design for our Trailer poster.
We have added some reviews to make our poster more appealing to an audience, if the audience saw that it had got given four or five stars then they would think it was a good film and more likely want to see it, As the reviews are also by two major entertainment magazines this would make the audience believe it.
We also included our Tagline, 'Whats out there?' to give people a sense of suspense and to wonder what the film would be about. This tagline is really catchy and people will remember it.
Finally the image grabs peoples attention as it is a close up, and you can tell that the girl in the image is scared. The fact that the eye is looking towards of the top of the magazine also draws the reader back to the Film Title.

Feedback Results

Kate has uploaded onto her blog the results from the feedback we got from showing our trailer in our class.  she has graphed the data so we can clearly see what the answers are from each question.

Youtube comment

I went back onto our youtube page to see if our trailer has had anymore comments or views.
There was one more comment added which gave positive feedback, although it did lack detail of what they actually thought of the trailer, by saying it was good this makes us happy as we know that our hard work in making the trailer has paid off and is effective.
The video also has had 61 views which is good as the only way we have let people know about our trailer, other than what we have shown to our class is through twitter.
