1. Step by Step
Magazine Cover, Film Poster, Teaser Trailer,
Company Ident and Sound

2. Magazine Cover- Photoshop
Here is an
image of the
original image
we used
within the
magazine
cover.
We then added
and rearranged
the layers within
Photoshop. We
added multiple
layer including a
shadow, a clock
etc.
We then adjusted the clock image
in the background by adjusting
the opacity and using the
“screen” application.
This I the opacity
application
which we used
to sofen the
appearance of
the background
image.

3. This was the image of a clock
that we used in the background
of our magazine cover which “is
not copyright protected”.

4. We then adjusted the “Brightness and
Contrast” to intensify the image.
We then explored the different, varied selection
of font styles which would appear the most
appropriate and follow conventions of a “Total
Film” magazine cover.
We explored different fonts on “dafont”
and on Adobe Illustrators. We
transferred the image to Photoshop to
Adobe Illustrator to edit it more
effectively.
We added text and transformed the image
into black and white to create a more
intense and effective magazine cover.

5. This is the base of our magazine cover
without the cover lines and other added
features.
Here is an image of our magazine cover so
far. I added cover lines and graphic features
such as he plus sign, circle and strap at the
top.

6. Here is an image of our magazine cover so far after adding
more cover lines, font styles and colours. This therefore
followed the conventions of a psychological thriller, “Total
Film” magazine cover.
Here are the layers used within Adobe illustrator to create
out magazine cover.

7. Film Poster- Adobe Illustrator
These two images were the original
images used within our film poster.
We overlapped the image of Shania
over the image of Ross by the use of
Photoshop applications.
We ensured the page
size of the film poster
was an accurate size
that fit the
conventional size of a
psychological thriller
film poster.

8. When overlapping and merging the
two images we decided to use
Photoshop applications and used the
“Linear Burn” application.
We then explored the “dafont” website to
explore different font sizes and styles to best
suit the genre of our film.
This was the rough layout we planned
to use when considering what
information should go in which place.

9. Here is an image of our film poster so far. We
added a red strip by the use of the Illustrator shape
and colour applications.
We then used “Steel Tongs”
to create the billing block
for the film poster.

10. Teaser trailer- Final Cut Pro
Firstly we began by clicking the favourite
button for the best shots after looking
through all of our footage.
We then placed the footage into the timeline
so we were able to edit the shots.
Then we put all the footage into order so that we
could then put the shots to the correct size which
then meant we were able to manipulate the
appearance of each shot so it had been rough
edited.

11. We then added more effects, colour grading and
transitions to ensure the teaser trailer appeared
professional and followed conventions of a
psychological thriller teaser trailer.
We then added both diegetic and non-
diegetic sound to the teaser trailer adding
both realism and effectiveness.
Here is an image of our teaser trailer so far after adding diegetic and non-diegetic
sound. This therefore creates both realism and effectiveness for the viewer.
Here is a zoomed in image
of the sound we have
used in our teaser trailer.
This included both
diegetic sound such as
keys jingling/being shaken
and diegetic sound such
as the music in the
background, the heart
beat etc.

12. Company Ident- Final Cut Pro
We created this Company Ident as a
tester as it did not fit our genre of our
film.
We then used Final Cut Pro to create the
“Paradox Productions” Company Ident by the use
of “dafont” to choose an eerie and with a
psychological thriller appeared.

13. Sound
Inspirational sound on YouTube for the making of our
teaser trailer.
We used free sound to collect
appropriate and effective sound to
use within out teaser trailer.
We found the psychological trailer for fil
“SPLIT” to have inspirational and relevant
non-diegetic and diegetic sound used to
create both realism and effectiveness.

14. We experimented with “Garage Band” sound,
however, did not use any sound created.
We decided to use “Free Sound” which was very
effective as there is a range of sound that we
could layer and build upon, such as diegetic and
non-diegetic sound which would make our
teaser trailer appear both effective yet realistic.

15. Here are the sounds shared on our One Drive
which included a variety of diegetic and non-
diegetic sound which we experimented with in
our teaser trailer to ensure we chose the most
effective and appropriate sound.
