Magazine cover

I used photoshop to create my magazine cover:

Again, I used a photo from my photoshoot and I changed the colours using Adobe Photoshop. I thought these colours were particularly effective as it contrasts from the "major movies" title and I thought that the colours I chose to highlight the main character (victim, girl) to make her stand out and show the audience that she is the main character in this film.
Similar to my poster, I used Da Fonts.com for my font. My font is called Dirty Play and I used it because it's bold, it's clear to read, it stands out and is the type of font a film magazine would use.



I thought the layout I have chosen is effective and according to my peer feedback, they also think the layout I chose is good, practical, stands out and you can immediately point out that this magazine is going to be about films because of the iconography I have used (the film strip that holds images at the bottom and a scene-cut board). The background image is one from my photoshoot but i've edited it and changed the colours to colours I believe would stand out on a magazine cover. The smaller images I have used are ones I found from Google Images. I didn't use my own original photos because I couldn't find any that suited the purpose of "side stories".

Poster

I've decided the best photo for my poster in particular is one that illustrates the horror in the film. Therefore I have chosen an action shot:

I experimented with my chosen image using Adobe Photoshop.

I then went on http://www.dafont.com/ and looked at different fonts I could use for my poster

Photoshoot

I carried out a photo shoot in order to start the process of the poster and magazine cover which would complete my coursework package.

I started out by experiementing with position. I took mock photos of me standing in different places and moving the camera to see which positioning worked out best:



I then took photos without the flash on to see what they came out like and used a torch to highlight my face:




I then started experimenting with lighting and colour (keeping in mind that it would later be edited):



I then experimented with different types of shots. I took photos of different action shots using close ups and mid shots.
