Deluded Film Cover

This is my finished magazine cover, overall I am pleased with how it turned out. I believe that it follows codes and conventions of real products and it represents the trailer of our film. Previously I had audience feedback which led me to change my design to this finished product. The audience suggested that the image should take up more of the page and also for it to be more central. They also suggested that the text took up the attention rather than the image and therefore I made the image larger and more central and cut out some text to make the page look more clear and crisp. I am happy with my final product.

Film Poster Progress

 This was my first finished poster. I decided that the colours that I wanted to use on the poster was red and black due to this being eye catching for the audience. I followed codes and conventions of film posters by having the actors name at the top of the page and the title of the film being just below as I found this to be common. I also placed the tag line right next to the image and placed the billing block onto the page with the advertisement of the release date below with the social media promotions at the bottom of the poster.

Here I thought that the billing block would look better if I put it onto a black background so it stood out on the page. I also cut the image down to see if the poster generally looked better where you could see clearly the actors names and when the film was being released.

This is my final poster I have made the title of the film slightly smaller due to it taking up too much of the page. I have also changed my tag line and the position of my tag line to "can I see you?" and closer to Morgan's hand as this shows the resemblance of his hand and the mirror questioning if he can actually see the figure behind. I have also out a glow on the masked figure as it stands out more and puts emphasise on the character. 

With audience feedback I decided that the actors name at the top of the page should stand out more on the page and the billing block should stand out more. I also needed to cut down "in cinemas November  2018" and replace it with "November 2018. I have also changed my tag line to "can you see me?" as it gives the poster a more enticing feel. Overall I am happy with my finished product.
