Film Poster and Film Magazine Cover Drafts

Here we have drafter our Film Magazine cover. We decided a blue, orange and green themed fonts as they are bright and eyecatching to our potential readers. We have fitted the theme of the thriller genre also by having a black background, this also makes our character, 'Emma-Lou' more visable as she is dressed in white. To fit the conventions of a magazine cover we have clearly displayed the date, price, bar codes etc. We also have other headlines in our chosen colours advertising new films, paying tibute to a famous actor and also giving away a free movie poster of the lastest film. We chose the name Beyond for our magazine name as it is indicating the films in our magazine are beyond our imagination. Also it is short and easy to remember for ourpotential customers. In our research we discovered that the characters on the cover hid part of the title with their head. We have followed this convention in order to make our magazine look more realistic.





Here is our draft of what our film poster will look like. We have fitted the thriller conventions again by having a black background to make it more scary and also to make the characters more clear. We have made 'Emma-Lou look dark and mysterious in the background to make audiences wonder who this scary figure is and what she wants. We then have a bright light shining on the characters, they look happy and innocent to make the characters more vulnerable. they are also dressed in bright clothes to make them stand out and look eye catching. At the bottom of the poster in red, another eyecatching colour, is says coming soon. We have not given a specific date as it keeps the audience waiting for the release date. Our film title 'La Femme' is in white, to make this stand out at the top of the poster against the black background.

  1. On the magazine cover, you have indicated that the star (or victim) of your film is a big enough star to warrant a magazine cover to market the film. And yet she is very young - could she be that famous already??

    Consider the poster. Could you do another version which is landscape? New Moon for example has several different posters for several different target audiences. It might be worth considering a few designs. Also run them by your target audience.

  2. Think also about your title and your justification for targetting your audience with a French title/word.
