Film poster and magazine front cover mock ups

Before we can create our film poster and magazine front cover we have to create mock ups which allow us to a gather an idea of what the finished product will look like and the ability to plan ahead and avoid too many mistakes or problems.

We decided rather than using 'Total film' or 'Empire' as our magazine, we would create our own magazine, entitled 'Movie Reel'. The pun in the name echoes the comedy included within our film. We used a colour scheme of red, white and blue, to symbolise the American nature of our film. The central image is of our main characters in a romantic clinch again to emphasise the genre of our film. We have included the rest of the groups film titles and synopsis in our magazine as usually the advetise new releases and because of copyright reasons we cannpt use a real films images.

Unconventionally for our film poster we have decided to include a background. The purpose of this was too ensure the poster wasn't too bland, although a blank background catches your eye, once you've seen it once you tend not to look back at it. If it has a background you will be more inclined to keep looking back at the image to see if you have missed any detail. We decided to include a parody within our poster to emphasise the humour within our film. Our main characters our mimicking the classic 'Titanic' scene where Jack draws Rose naked. Instead our characters are fully dressed and Buddy is drawing childish and boyish images such as a dinosaur. The title is in red to echoe the romantic side to our film, as red is often associated with romance.
