Ancillary Ideas

We have chosen to produce a film magazine front cover and a film poster for our ancillary tasks.

Magazine front cover research:
-Title, some have puns that match the film
-Huge picture takes up most of the room on the front cover (at least 2/3)
-Picture usually obscures part of the magazines name, to give the impression that the magazine is well known.
-Other 1/3 of space taken up by small pictures of other films reviewed in the magazine
-Plenty of very small writing that advertises what's in the magazine
-Lots of self compliments (world exclusive! read it here first!
-Large dominant feature
-Side articles
-First word in second word's first letter, e.g.

This example of a film cover incorperates most of research ideas we have come across, such as wording, picture size, font size, and side articles.

















Film Poster research:
-Film poster analysis - Overveiw, typography, pictures, foreground, background.
-text easy to read
-try to reflect the mood and tone of the film to attract the right audience
-Slogan? should be memorable and should convey the idea of the film (enticing)
-Keep relatively simple
