Here we have our initial idea for our magazine cover and our final piece. Just like our poster we kept some of our initial ideas but developed upon them such as;
We used two different fonts for our masthead but developed our idea by placing the first part of the masthead 'B4' in the rest of the masthead 'Release' this creates variety to our magazine and i think with the colour scheme it works well and attracts audiences.
We also kept the initial idea of placing Romaine in the centre of the magazine cover with the expression of worry and panic.
One thing we added and developed on was adding features of other films on the magazine cover, as you can is at the far right of the magazine this again adds variety to the magazine which would attract audiences to want to find out what these new films are about we developed this by adding captions of two films, we kept the idea to place names of films already created on the left side of the magazine cover with these four big film names 'Green Zone, Shutter Island, The Blind Side,Avatar' it again gives more variety to the magazine.
We developed the idea on the writing above the masthead which is '2010's number one magazine for onset insights' instantly people would want to read this magazine because we are offering the chance to see onset of up and coming films.
Another thing we kept was the use of offering the buyer free stuff, changing it from pictures of characters from our film to a free poster of our film, by using the colour yellow on this dark background it stands out and catches the buyers attention.
We instantly tell the audience what this issue is about by showing the name of our film at the bottom of the magzine in big bold lettering and bright colours.

As you can see we kept the basis of our original design for our poster. We kept the image of our character Romaine at the bottom of the poster and placed an image of another character at the top of the poster, we also placed this character just to the right of Romaine by doing this it creates the idea that Romaine is looking at him and is worried. Another thing we kept from our original idea was the use of placing the London eye and Big Ben in our poster, this was a problem at first because it was hard to position Romaine at the right place in order to be able to get both iconic landmarks in the poster. We kept the idea of putting the title of our film 'Out Of Time' at the top of the poster this allows the audience to see what the name of our film is straight away, we also kept the tagline of our film which is 'Two Men, One Woman, On A Countdown' by making the font of this bold and bright it is easy for the user to see and allows them to get a small insight into what our film is about. We switched around where the date should be placed on the poster we did this because after attempting to put the date at the bottom we all agreed it did not look good.

Update

We are halfway through to finalising our magazine cover and i believe it is looking like a real magazine cover, we have developed upon our initial idea of the making the magazine cover adding other things that would catch the audiences attention.

We have now finished editing our poster for our trailer 'Out Of Time', by using the software photoshop we were able to create a very appealing poster. It allowed us to add certain effects to create our initial idea which was placing an image of a character at the top of the poster and make it look as if he is superior to our main character Romaine who is placed at the bottom of the poster. The design on our magazine cover is underway, with the knowledge we have on using the software photoshop along with several different ideas on how to design our magazine cover i believe it will be as successful and appealing as our poster.

Trailer Update

We have successfully finished filming the whole of our trailer again, after our setback of having to film the whole trailer again it motivated us to make sure we get it perfect this time round. Looking back on the recording of our film i think that we have many useful shots that with editing to put them all together will come out to be a very successful trailer.

Trailer Update

We encountered a major problem today, after filming and editing the trailer in a great depth we relised that our character in the trailer was not running at a fast enough pace to be believable or keep up with the tempo of the trailer, after we relised this we had to re-film the whole trailer again which was stressful for my whole group as we worked hard to create this trailer hte first time round.

This issue of Total Film magazine played a great deal in finalising our magazine cover. We decided that we would use the layout but add our own tweaks to it. One thing we would take from this magazine cover would be the way in which Robert Downy Jr. is positioned in the centre of the magazine, and how an iconic building is placed behind him, even though the building is blurred out people can still see what the building is.
Another part of this issue we decided to customise would be the layout of where the writing is placed.
What i like about this issue is the way in which the colour scheme is used, the use of white and sky blue attracts the audiences attention as it catches their eye. Designing the background to be the same colour as the fonts on the is very effective as it again attracts the audiences eye.
