We particular liked way the female characters posture looks as if it is being drag and also the way the character has been positioned against a surface . We also like the dark tone of the two posters, because it related to the conventions of a
horror film poster and creates fear and suspense. These two posters where the man influence for our poster because it is
ideal for our narrative because we could use the victim against the phone box, looking lie she has been possessed.
The important aspect of this poster is that involves
a phone booth, which relates to our narrative
therefore we could use the aspect of using the main character in the phone
box.
Draft of posterDraft of posterOur taglines will
be placed here to draw attention
from the audience and persuade
them to watch the film.
The main character Morgan
will be placed inside the phone
box looking terrified and
crying for help. The image will
show the surroundings of the phone box.
The colour scheme will be black, red and
white as these are conventional colours used in horror trailers
because they represent several
things such a blood, darkness and
evilness. The reason why we used this
setting for the poster is because it creates a creepy atmosphere which should come
across in the poster. The name of our horror film will be
placed on the bottom of the
page along with the credits.

The aspects of this magazine cover that would influence our magazine cover is the
overall layout and colour of the magazine. We also
particularly like the way the main character has
positioned on the page blending with the
background and other elements of the front cover.
I feel that the colour of the font and texture of the background
would look very effective on our front cover and also work well for the genre and theme of our film. The way in which the character is positioned on the page shows his power, authority and dominance which would definitely be good
for our front cover if we chose to use the villain.
The layout of this magazine cover is very effective, the use of red to highlight the
main cover lines is very eye-catching and also the images
at the bottom of the magazine showing what
features inside the magazine looks very appealing. This is something to take in account
for our magazine.
Draft of magazine coverDraft of magazine coverThe colour scheme for our magazine
cover will be black, red and white, like
our poster and trailer.
We will use artificial low lighting to
create a dark black background.
The strip along the bottom of the magazine will advertise other
horror movies that are featured inside the magazine, they
are important to attract readers to read and buy the
magazine.
The main focus on our poster will be on the main character
which is the old homeless man, to highlight the main star of our horror
film.
The barcode will be placed here.
Although we didn’t draw it on here, we will place the film
name here.
Best Photos for Our Magazine cover
Best Photos for Our Magazine cover
Once we completed our rough design of how we wanted our magazine cover to look like, we then made sure we did a photoshoot with the villain
(victor omolaiye). The shoot was taken during the evening inside, on a black background. We felt these three photos are
the ones which would work best on our front cover.
Out of all three photos we selected the first one for
the front cover our magazine, this is because
we liked the way the character is positioned, his facial expression and
body language which creates a dark and creepy
atmosphere.
Magazine TitleMagazine Title
From the three magazine titles that we designed, our
favourite was this one because we really like the dripping blood effect, this works really well with the genre of our film. Readers would instantly recognise
that our film belongs to the horror genre from the effect
of the ‘Empire’ text.
