Magazine front cover...

This is the front cover for Empire magazine. It is released monthly and contains reviews and information about all new releases and new upcoming films. The cover is packed full of information and interesting to look at. The title and font used is the same each month. It also has a large picture and then subheadings about the articles inside the magazine. As with everyth magazine it has the date, price, website and a barcode. Hopefully when I am finished my magazine front cover will look similar to this.

Here are some more front covers of Empire magazine;

They are both slightly different to the first. The one of the left has just a pictue of the possible two main characters...it does not have a background to the pictures. The second contains two photographs together, the main characters and the clock behind them. Again they contain the main key conventions of a front cover; title, date, price,weibsite, barcode, large picture and subheadings.

Teaser trailer posters...

After looking at some teaser trailer posters I found a few I really liked:

La Casa Muda: (Latin American film, first one to be filmed with a proffesional photo camera and it was filmed in one single 72 minute sequence shot.)

I like this poster because of the polaroid effect it uses. It doesnt give much away, just the title, a slogan and a website. It uses one big picture of who assumingly is the main character and suggests by the slogan "Real fear in real time" that it is a horror movie. This is also suggested by the blood in the picture and her facial expression.

The poloroid pictures used over the top of the main image are similar to the pictures that would be used in a police investigation and add to the mystery behind the films story line.

Filming...

After taking my camera out on a night out with the girls I got some very amusing footage. After uploading it all and looking through it I have found the perfect beginning for my teaser trailer. Two of my characters posing on film while someone else takes a picture. The timing of the flash is perfect and is a great shot to show just before using a title.
