A FILM MAG

Can you tell me what looks best? The superhero in front of the masthead (title) or behind?

magazine development

Here is the first stage of my magazine front cover. On it the main picture is for my film. At the bottom is advertising what’s inside, the picture is for the film SPLIT, which is the film trailer my friend Amy is doing for her courseworkhttp://amyloulynch.blogspot.com/.
I thought this would be a good idea to use this (with her permission), 1: to promote her one and 2: to show other genres and styles of film in the same magazine.



Where the superhero is at the top is going to be advertising another feature in the mag about the TOP 100 SUPERHERO FILMS. I will have it partly covering the title of the mag which I haven’t fully decided on but am open to any suggestions.

First Attempt

Well this is the first attempt at the trailer. I have once again got my brothers music on it. I decided to have only a little piece of the villain Doctor Richman at the end as a sort of reveal to leave the view wanting to see more to sort of add a bit of mystery to who he might be. Please comment and suggest anything that could improve it.

Here is a bit with Doctor Richman in it

What i noticed

I noticed that on a lot of these magazines, the main picture is a full close up shot of the characters face.





Also, they have a lot of shot with the main character walking towards the camera.

magazines

With the teaser trailer near completion and the poster also going well, I remembered about the magazine front cover. I have had thoughts on it but haven’t actually put anything up about it. Last year we looked at magazines for our coursework to make a new music mag. So I already know a lot about the conventions and layouts.

Here are just some of the examples of what sort of film mag I have looked at.

SPY

Here are more random bits of scene that will go into the final cut. It has on it some of my brothers music.
