Film magazine

Within our promotional package we had to create a film magazine focusing on our film. We decided to create our own magazine.

We named the magazine 'Movie Reel' as this is an appropraite play on words and echoes the comedy used within our teaser trailer. We used a colour scheme of red, blue and white as these are the colours used on the American flag, and emphasise the films American production and style. We used the same font for the title of our film as on our film poster and within our teaser trailer for continuity. We also used the same tag line as in our film poser to again emphasise the comedy. We used the other groups in our class films for our poster as they have no copyright. We also used an array of different colour red and blue so that the poster didn't look too simple. We used different fonts for each point that was relevant to what it read. So for the romantic drama being advertised we used a simple font, similiar to handwriting to emphasise the romance. The pictures are slightly slanted to make the page more interesting and stad out. The plain white background allows the characters to be the main focus. They're staged so that the central image looks like that seen at a prom. We tried to be as conventional as possbile when compiling the magazine by adding a runner at the bottom and positioning our titles and images similiarly to those seen in 'Total film' and 'Empire' as these were the magazines we drew inspiration from.
Once the magazine was completed we created a questionaire compiled with questions relevant to the magazine and that would enable us to establish a general public point of view. We handed this out to 20 applicants aged between 15-25 -
