Evaluation Question One

 

The three following presentations answer my first evaluation question of "In what ways does you media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products".

I have responded to this question in depth and used 3 different platforms to examine my main product (the trailer) and my two ancillary tasks (the poster and the magazine front cover).

POSTER

 

Vanish front cover

Below is a prezi explaining how I have constructed my magazine front cover.

 

 

Movie Magazine Front Cover

After extensive research into front covers of movie magazines I have begun to produce the cover for an edition of 'Total Film' promoting my movie 'Vanish'.

I begun with using the original logo from 'Total Film' as I decided to work around this. I have noticed that movie magazines tend to adapt the their logo to fit the specific themes of the movie that they are promoting on that issue. As shown in the examples to the left and right. For this reason I played around with the logo for a while until I found an effect that I feel best fits my movie. To create it I just used the recolouring effects on Microsoft Power Point on a plain white version of the 'Total Film' logo. The effect that I have selected, I feel, gives the impression of blood splattering across the bottom. This I feel is appropriate as it fits with my horror genre.

Once I had produced this logo I then when about producing a suitable background. Again, I decided to play around with the effects on Power Point, however, I was very careful when selecting the background that the colours did not detour away from or wash out the main logo. I felt that all of the potential backgrounds produced this way made the front cover look cheap, low budget and very unprofessional. After much experimentation I thought that it may work if I were to use a screen shot of the film footage that I had already gathered. From this I used a screen shot of the outside of my house as it is a central location of the film and adds a very eery feel to the poster. In addition to this I have added a black and white filter to it for more impact.
