2. In terms of layout, my magazine cover will most likely be very sharp and
simple, hopefully enhancing it's readability etc with my target audience. So
far, my layout is; my masthead is located at the very top of the page like
most magazines have, issue/pricing information underneath, my main
image taking over the centre of the page surrounding by sell-lines in a
circle shape with a button on the middle left with my barcode placed on
the bottom right ear. For my layout, I also used the use of rulers and
guides via Photoshop to ensure that the distances between any features
and the page edge are all equal along the sides. This is a technique I
have also used on my film poster as well.
For my film poster, I have also used a simple style and layout again. My
introductory line is located at the very top of page, followed by the film
name, then the main image of the mask which is then followed by my
slogan, release date, credits and film logos. All of which are centred so the
audience's eye simply trails down the page in one motion. I feel that by
using a simple layout, like my magazine cover, it minimises any
distractions and jumbled-ness that could occur as a product that it overly
visually appealing can be just as bad for the professionalism of the
product as it being too little.
As for my film trailer, I have tried to follow a more non-linear narrative as
draft planned in the storyboard alongside. By doing this, it should
hopefully separate my product from others out there slightly and still
match the genre my product is following (Psychological Horror). I have,
however, considered that this my be a little too confusing for my target
audience to follow so that is why I have used the se of text-based
intertitles to help make the narrative a little more understandable and
clearer while still maintaining mystery and elusiveness.
