changes from mock ups- mag and poster

1. What changed from when we first planned our film poster and
magazine?
For our filmposter,we keptthe majorityof thingsthe same asour original mockups(digital andhand
drawn),showingourplanningwasveryusefulatthispointinthe whole process.The mainaspectthat
we keptthe same was the fact the the mainbigimage isa
close upof the mainactors face so youcan clearlysee her
emotionandcan see all the detailsof herface to
make it lookreal.
We alsokeptto havingstraplinesand textall downthe sides- aroundherface sothat we keptto the
conventionsof atypical magazine of anytype.
We slightlychangedthe layoutof where everythingis,butkepteverythingthatwe hadhopedtoput on
fromthe start.For example inourmock ups we had a flashat the top,whenit came to actuallymaking
our magazine we decidedagainstthisandputiton the righthand side nearthe bottominsteadaswe
thoughtthiswas more effective afterlookingatotherexistingmagazines,aswe thoughtothertext
wouldlookbetteratthe top lefthandside.
In our final magazine,we keptthe footerinthatwe had originallyplannedonourmock ups,we didthis
as thistellsthe audience whatotherextrainformationisinthe magazine,andwe thoughtthiswasakey
part of the magazine andto make itand effectiveandreal aspossible.
Anotherthingwe changedfromourmock ups waswhat the textaroundthe edgessays,as withmore
thoughtwe thoughtof betterand more informative texttouse whichmade itsoundas well aslooklike
a realisticprofessionalmagazine.
We alsochangedthe positioningof the date andprice and website aswe lookedatEMPIRE magazine
for researchandnoticedtheyplacedtheresinaplace that lookeddifferentandcreative and sofromthis

2. we changedours.Empire but theirsinthe middle of theirMin empire sowe placedoursinthe middle
of the C inscreening.
Somethingthatwe addedtothe magazine frontcoverwas a small bitof textunderneaththe masthead
that givessome detail aboutthe magazine,andshowstothe audience whattheycanexpectfromit.
For our filmposterwe kept
almosteverythingaboutthe
mock upsthat we made,the
same.Fromthe start we had a
clearideaabouthow we
wantedourposterto look as
we had done priorresearch
that we thoughtaboutwhile
makingour mockups.
We keptthe title of the filmin
the same place (at the bottom
of the magazine) asthisis a
typical conventionof anyfilm
posters,asthisway youcan
see all of the mainimage
above andthat is an
importantfactorof film
posterssothe audience can
identifywiththe actorsand
whowill be inthe film.

3. We kepthavingthe actor’snamesjustabove the filmname,as thisagain isa conventionthatquite alot
of filmpostersfollow.The onlythingwe changedaboutthiswasthe factthat we condensedittothree
actors insteadof twoas we thoughtthat that showsthe mostimportantcharacters better.
We keptthe small printat the verybottomof the posteras if it wasin anyotherplace it wouldbe inthe
wayand it doesn’tneedtobe anywhere thatisrightinyour face as It is notas importantas the filmtitle
of image forexample,butstillneedstobe included.
We keptthe small statementatthe topof the posterthat sumsthe filmupin justa few words,there as
we thoughtthat thiswas importantforthe audience tohave some ideaaboutwhattheywouldbe going
to see.
Anotherthingthatwe keptthe same was the release date atthe bottom‘comingsoon’asthisis keyfor
the audience astheyneedtoknowwhento lookoutfor itin the cinema.
One thingthat we didchange about our posteristhe mainimage,we originallyplannedtohave a
mediumshot/longshottoshowherphysical painas well asemotional,insteadwe changedthistoa
