Mock Ups

Mock Ups

                                                    

This was our original idea for our movie poster because we felt that it fit the narrative well. After analysing other supernatural movie posters, we began to discuss our mock up and decided that it did not fit our sub genre very well. After looking at the design closely we came to the conclusion that it looked to much like a promotion for a slasher movie and therefore we drew up a new design and decided to have a medium shot of the main antagonist.

Magazine Front Cover Mock Up

For our magazine front cover, we decided to use a medium shot of our main antagonist with a distorted look. After analysing other magazine front covers, we noticed that medium shots of the main antagonist or actor was the most common thing. We decided to carry this convention on, and we feel the image fits nicely on our front cover. We also decided to a halloween special on a normal film magazine, therefore the horror affect becomes more noticeable, we chose to do this because we did not want to make the magazine purely based around horror movies, such as fangoria. Our Masthead is also similar to many other magazine mastheads, because it is bold and placed above the main image, which is conventional in order for people to recognise the magazine. 

Movie Poster

For our film poster, we decided to use a similar image to our magazine front cover in order to keep a symbiotic link throughout our three pieces. The image is of the main antagonist looking into the mirror with a disorted look. We feel that this image is effective and will appeal to the target audience because it is a clever shot and is frightening. We also added 'based on true events' at the top of the poster which adds realism to our movie overall. The title and tagline are at the bottom of the page, which is a typical convention of  poster, so the main image stands our more.
