The document provides a detailed analysis of the opening title sequence of the film "The Dead Zone" through a series of screenshots and descriptions. It notes how the sequence creates a mood of mystery and suspense through the use of dark and gloomy color tones, shadows, and a lack of people or movement. Black shapes gradually come together in the title reveal, building tension. While some shots defy thriller conventions through their use of natural light, most establish an eerie atmosphere through low-key lighting, a blue tint, and a sense of isolation and emptiness.

- 1. Music Magazine Kyanna Sutton ♥
- 2. Front Cover ♥ Whilst planning my front cover, I wanted to go for a simple look to it but for it to not look too boring. When designing my mast-head, i wanted to create a sort-of broken look to it. To achieve this I went to DaFont.com and searched through to find the one i have used. I re-coloured it red and put it against the plain black background. My main image originally only had one person in it. I edited this image but felt the once it was done, that it wasn’t as strong as I had hoped it to look. So I looked through my other images from that shoot and sharpened the image, healed the blemishes and placed it in the centre of the page. In the skyline I wanted to have keywords explaining the personality of the magazine. About what it would give people but also what it actually was. Not some ordinary music magazine. Beside the main image, I had a quote about the main article. The quote being ‘what we’ve got so far sounds pretty sweeeeet!’ which I think is very good for the main image I have chosen as they look happy and how they are stood is quite a structured pose so it is showing the strength of them and their music etc; coming together. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ I chose to use a Photoshop brush of the girl holding a guitar as I like the effect of not actually having an ‘’image’’ but I was able to outline it well which I feel this part looks really effective for the cover as it isn’t all about the band featured on it, it adds change. ♥ ♥ In the third left I decided to add a CD free to the readers of the magazine. To begin with I created a CD shape to the space it would take up on a magazine. I then got an image from the shoot and played around with some of the effects from Photoshop and tried out some of the filters until i got my desired effect. I then added my title to the CD which I decided to be the name of the band. I coloured it appropriately with neon colours. After rasterizing the layer I used warp to bend it to the shape of the CD. For advertisement for the magazine, I included the logo around an edge and also in small print I included the magazine’s web address under the CD title. ♥ ♥
- 3. Contents page ♥ When I planned my contents page, to begin with I had no idea what to do, so to get the overall look, I drew some basic flat plans for how I wanted it but also researched into other magazine’s contents pages to see what was included. I then went for Photoshop brushes of splats to put on top of the heading as this keeps with the house style and adds a sort-of grunge style look to it. Originally I wanted my articles shown in my contents page to look like an organised mess. In my plan I had drawn distorted boxes but with the brush I found with distorted boxes, once put to a certain size would go blurry and pixelated. So I decided to change it with another brush. I came across the default paint brush and edited the settings for example; increasing the scatter. To keep with the house style of my magazine, I made my text red, and green with the outer parts in yellow, white or purple. I made another article with an image of a band I used on a practice assignment to create a college magazine. The band is Duplicity and I put an image of them which is the first thing to catch the readers eye. My second image is that of the magazine’s featured band ‘The Neon Elephants’. I also have included a picture of a guitar which is included in one of the magazines competitions, but also I have left an iTunes voucher image and one of a festival as they are prizes available to be won in another of the magazine’s competitions. I included these as I wanted to include things to keep readers occupied whilst getting the latest information about the music industry. After uploading I realised a typing error, that on the contents page and the first page of my double page spread, they both have page number 2 on. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
- 4. Double-page Spread ♥ My double page wasn’t too hard to do once I had my interview planned out. To begin with I done my header. Which I kept with the style by using a bold, red font. I used outer glow on it to make it stand out along with an inner shadow. I then wrote my interview, keeping with the colouring I put an introductory note introducing the band written in purple. I then wrote my questions which I had asked to the band members. I made these in green font but also put an inner shadow on them to make them stand out ever so slightly from the rest of the text. With my answers I gave a fluorescent colour to each member and their answers basically written in white font. I feel all these cork together as none clash too much to make the colouring look wrong but it makes it all stand out and look more appealing to my readers. I also gave me readers further chance to find out about this band by putting the magazine web address once again at the bottom of the page. Which again, gives the reader more things to do apart from reading about their favourite artists or finding out the latest musical news. ♥ ♥ I hand drew the backing of my main image, I was trying to decide how to set my page out as I wanted one page for an image and the rest for some sort of writing. That’s when I came up for the idea of an interview with a band. Once I had drawn my picture, I took a photo of it with my camera, uploaded it to Photoshop and used the magnetic lasso to cut around it, leaving only that for the image. I when sharpened the image to have it slightly clearer and stand out more. I then cut out pictures of the people in the band from previous shoots; not all photos were used from the same shoot on this page. Also all photos used in my magazine were taken from a join photo shoot I was involved in. ♥ ♥
