Rough Cut of Trailer
After our first attempts at editing we managed to create a 'rough cut' trailer. This is not the actual trailer but just a attempt to get a look at how the shots would look and work altogether as one and see what else would need to be added. There is still a lot of work to be done to the trailer to make it much more effective and scarier as that is our main objective with it being a horror trailer. However for a first attempt at putting together such a piece of work and also a first try at using editing software for filming I believe it has come out quite well with some positives and negatives to take from it.
Editing has begun
In lesson today we began editing our video clips for our trailers. It was a daunting process trying to use iMovie for the first time however after a few minutes got the hang of it. There are many tools that can be used
Flat Plan of Magazine Cover
These are our groups flat plan ideas for our magazine front cover that were drawn up by Tiyanna. As a group we were undecided on whether to use a group photo or just an image of the final girl as the cover for our poster. This led us to draw up flat plans for both ideas and take photos of each and then see which one looked best on the cover. In my opinion I prefer the group photo for the cover as it is not often seen on the covers of film magazines so would give our cover a more unique edge to the others.
Empire
We have chosen to use the masthead of 'Empire' magazine for our magazine cover as we feel it has a very distinctive look that we could work well with.
Analysis of Empire Magazine Covers
As a group we decided to use Empire magazines masthead instead of Total Film. For that reason I decided to look at 2 covers for common conventions used so that we could incorporate into our magazine cover to make it as realistic as possible.
After deconstructing a few Empire magazine covers I found that:
- The backgrounds are always dark coloured
- Majority of the time the masthead is red apart from a few special edition covers
- Most of the time the actor is always placed in front of the masthead rather than behind
- The barcode is always placed on either the bottom left or right of never along the top
- Sometimes there is something going across the top of the masthead
