Finished Trailer and ancillaries

I have now completed all three elements of my product.

Film Trailer:

Film Poster:

Film Magazine:

Drafting and Planning: intertitles

Intertitles are used throughout a film trailer to break up scenes. These can include the name of the film and other information about the film like a release date. When I handed in my first draft of my film trailer, I found out that I needed more intertitles as I hadn't finished the whole of my trailer but the ones I already had were good. Intertitles can also make a film trailers narrative make more sense and further develop the storyline for the audience.

In my intertitles, I wanted to create suspense and tension so I placed them in between each scene. I also wanted to use intertitles that gave very little information which would lead the audience wanting to know more.

Organisation: Features of my film poster

There are many codes and conventions that need to be included in a film poster to make it look more realistic and like a professional film poster. 

The features of my film poster:

1.) This is the title and tagline.
This is the same as on the film magazine.
This shows a sense of cohesion.

2.) This is the credit box.

3.) This shows who the film is made by

4.) This is a website link
which makes it seem more
professional and realistic

5.) This is the release date
of the film 

Organisation: Features of my magazine

There are many codes and conventions that need to be included in a film magazine to make it look more realistic and like a professional film magazine. 

This is the magazine that I have completed.

The features of my magazine are:

1.) This is the masthead of a popular and well known film magazine so it
seems more realistic as it is a completely real brand.
Also, by using a well known brand you can emulate the magazine
and you know how some magazines are made.

2.) This is the date line and price of the magazine.
By putting this on the magazine,
it makes it seem more realistic.

3.) This is an added cover line at the bottom of the page
to give extra information

4.) The bar code is used as a main convention
 for when the magazine is sold

5.) This is the name of my film and the tagline.
They follow a similar house colour of black and red
to relate to the horror and gore portrayed in my horror theme.
This would be similar to the one on the film poster
to give cohesion between the products

6.) This is a pug.

7.) These are a list of cover lines
included in the film magazine. They are quite similar to my genre
of film as they are mostly horror or mystery
8.) Website link - make it more realistic

Organisation: Film Masthead

I have decided to create a film magazine using the Empire Magazine layout. The red colour of the masthead goes with the house colour theme of red and black to portray the horror theme. This is placed in the left third as normal. The other things placed in the left third is cover lines and a pug. The Empire magazine is a popular magazine and is used for basically any genre of film. The film magazine that I used to get influence from was 'The Hunger Game' Empire magazine.

Research into target audience: Feedback for both posters

These are my two draft posters. I have used a portrait and landscape poster. The posters contain several normal codes and conventions of a film poster - name, tagline, cast members, release date and credit box. 

 

I am going to be asking some friends which poster out of these two that they prefer and why.

From my research, It seems that everyone mostly prefers the second film poster for various reasons so I think this will be the best film poster because it links with the film trailer as the poster includes the main motif of a clock.
