Anxillary Products- Magazine Poster and Movie Cover

Magazine cover for Psychopath.

To create this movie poster i opened an A4 blank canvas on Photoshopto use as my backbground, as everything stands out on black. In addition black is a sinister colour that represents death. I then found an old photograph of Matt (Chris)and I (Rosie), rotated it 15 degrees counter-clockwise and applied a downloaded brush from www.Deviantart.com; which gives the impression of a smashed photo frame. I used the font: 'Amprior', for the Magazine title as it fits its name; EPIC. For the film title I used white lines to look like broken glass and look sharp  to stand out and fit the Horror genre. To create an uneasy effect, which symbolises uncomfort and mystery I have used the font colours: Green and Red. I have added captions such as; Barcodes, prices, date, '2 free posters inside!' and exclusive interviews on this magazine cover to create a realistic product. 

 

Here is the finished product: MOVIE MAGAZINE COVER.

To make this cover better I filled the empty space with, 'behind the scenes' images and extra photos of 'Rosie and Chris'. I find the fonts, images and colours fit our genre and would attract our intended audience. 16-24 year old, I believe, would buy this magazine.

Here is the image Matt created by placing the objects in the photograph on a shelf. He then photographed the installation and adjusted the contrast to make it seem eery. I like the way in which the images look burnt and the muted colours create a neon effect, making it stand out to viewer. It fits with the horror genre by the inclusion of the ash tray; this would attract our intended audience as they can relate; i think the candle creates a focal point around the images. It creates a shrine like construction.

Here is a test creation of the movie poster. I like how she has added the actors names and used a notice board with sticky nots. However i do not feel it fits the horror genre or would attract our intended audience. For our poster we would need to take typography into consideration to create a sinister effect.

 

Here is the finished film poster. Following on from the installation Matt created; Polly added text to created it into a film poster. She used a cliche Horror font for the film title; Psychopath. In addition she added my name (Rosie Thomson) to the top of the page, this is steriotypical of a film poster as the main actor/actresses name is mentioned at the top. In addition she has added extra information at the bottom aswell as a caption of a tag line for the film.
