On this blog I will post my research and progress of how I make my Magazine Cover and the Poster for our trailer; 'Deadline'. To start out I will look at existing magazine covers and specifically the horror genre to suit our trailer. I have not yet decided whether or not my magazine will be genre specific and only feature horror films, or target a wider audience and focus on a range of genres. The best selling film magazines in the UK are Empire and Total Film, so I will start my research here. I have taken a few posters from varying times to show how the magazine has changed and what conventions I could use in my own. At the moment I am visualising all three main characters featuring on my cover, with the antagonist being the main body of the composition. I like the dark background like on the 'Iron Man' cover because it adds more mystery and horror conventions but also brings more attention to the light section and therefore the characters. I also like the 'Star Wars' cover because it is minimal and focuses purely on the film. I think this is the effect I would like to create.
