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.

Here are two posters for the film 'Push' as you can see with the poster on the left it gives away nothing but the title of the film, this is effective because it creates a sense of suspense and wonder about the film. The poster on the right shows a bit more information but again not much, what it shows is four of the characters who appear in the film, the reason for doing this is to keep the audience attracted to the film and make them want to watch it. Another good point to mention about this poster would be the effects it is using, it shows a man being able to lift and throw things up in the air, this again adds suspense and makes the audience want to know how he is able to do this.

This is the Batman Issue of Total Film magazine, as you can see the only thing on the cover is Batman. For this issue the whole of the magazine has been made in a black theme this is done to highlight the fact that this issue of the magazine is of Batman. Even though it is a very basic cover it is used effectively because most people do know who this iconic character is. The only writing on this cover is 'ROUGH JUSTICE THE DARK NIGHT WAGING WAR ON TERROR'
this attracts the audience not just by the colour but because this is a catchy tag-line it gives the audience an insight into what this film is about.

Here are two posters from the film 'Jumper', these posters appeal to me in different ways and i think in a way both had an effect on the final making of our poster.
The poster on the left shows what appears to be the main character, you do not get a clear image of who this character is. What works well with this poster is the way in which the character is placed, he is placed in the middle of the poster and he is framed by the two pyramids and the sphinx he is standing on, by the designer of the poster doing this it allows the audience to infer that he is the main character.
The poster on the right allows us to see who the main character of the film is which is Hayden Christensen, most people will know who he is from appearing in 3 of the very successful 'Star Wars' films. What works well in the poster on the right is that it centers Hayden Christensen and places images of landmarks of different countries at the bottom the poster, it appears as if he is looking down upon them like he is superior. The writing in the top left corner which is 'From the director of, The Bourne Identity and Mr & Mrs Smith' would attract the audience of both these films, and also would attract the audience of the director, after both them two films were successful.

This is the concept design for our magazine cover. We designed this magazine cover to be like that of over magazine covers we have studied such as Total Film Magazine and Empire Magazine, we used the basis of each magazine to design our magazine cover, we came to the conclusion that with the magazine covers there is always a main focus this allowed us to create our magazine cover to have the main focus of our film but not completely fill the cover with just our film.

We kept the main focus on our film but added other features to the magazine cover which is;
~Adding names of other films on the magazine which can be seen on the far right of the cover this again we adapted from real magazine covers.
Also we added drawings of one of the films listed above this gave more variety to the magazine.

~At the far left of the magazine we added names of those who would feature in 'Out Of Time', we also added that there would be free photos from the set of the up and coming film, by doing this it would attract audiences in wanting these free items.

The masthead of our magazine cover is 'B4 Release'. My group and I thought this was a very catchy name and by designing the title in two different fonts it attracts the audience.

~We added other minor details to the magazine cover but are still very inportant points, these things are the price of the magazine, above the masthead is a tagline for the magazine, and the magazines website which is listed just below the masthead.
