Magazine Draft

Influences

For our teaser trailer we were inspired by the Transformers 3 teaser trailer and Shutter Island plot and trailer.

The Transformers 3 teaser trailer inspired us, the dramatic music built up tension and made it really exciting to watch. The shots fade in and out, this is something we have incorporated to our own trailer.

The Shutter Island plot intrigued us when writing our script and actual plot. The way there is a subversion of expectations at the end makes you really think and is a shock to the audience, so we wanted to do the same with our film and make it exciting. The trailer also uses good tension building music and dramatic effects such as the titles and fading in and out.

Film Magazine Layout

For our layout we decided to follow the conventions of a typical film magazine.
This is the layout that we cameup with.

Outtakes

When editing the trailer we found a lot of outtakes that we have cut out, because they were unsuitable for the trailer. We have taken screen shots of the ones that stood out most to us.

In this one there is one of our heads in the screen, this is not suitable because it is someone part of the production so it shouldn't be in the trailer.

In this one and many other screens we were laughing, so we had to cut this out because Fiona is smiling so it does not go with the rest of the trailer.

In this there is a reflection of us in the window filming, so similar to the first one it cannot be put into the trailer.

We still have some development to do, for example, we still need to figure out what the titles will say. We want to make them dramatic and relevant but not giving the story away.

Software Used

These are the software we have used or going to use for the pordcution of our teaser trailer, film poster and magazine front cover.

We are going to use Photoshop to develop the images further, this includes the production titles. Manly using it for the poster and magazine cover to make it look perfect.

We used Soundbooth to edit the sounds used in the trailer.

We used Premiere Pro to edit our trailer, this is the software we have used the most, developing the trailer with different effects and putting it all together.

We are going to use InDesign for the poster and the magazine front cover, this is because it has the most potential to look realistic as opposed to Publisher which does not have the same effect.

Before we could begin to design our film poster, we plan the layout of how we want our poster to look.

This first poster has many elements to it but the main focus is the image of the actress, we want this image to be the main focus of the whole poster because we want it to be strong and powerful. By having thefilm title,then the month of release. By only giving the month of release it will make it more memorable for the audience because a month is easier to remeber than a actual date.

In this layout I tried putting the film title first, however I dont think it will stand out as much if its before the image because the imae is so large they will skip over the first part and then look at the image.

In this poster I decided to place the film title across the picture, I did this to mske both the film title and image to stand out. In this poster I also decided to not have the name of the actress, this will make the poster stronger and have less clutter.

With the previous poster layouts i had the production titles at the bottom to make it look more subtle however in this one I decided to have the production title at the top. This makes it more apparent to the audience that this film is by 'Parrallel Productions'.

I think out of all of these layouts the third and fourth layout is the strongest.
