FILM MAGAZINE

“Total Movie”

I will have to remember a lot of things whilst creating a film magazine as I need to make sure it doesn’t end up looking like something else rather then a magazine e.g. Poster. As a thriller film I need to make sure I can bring this across in my magazine, to start off with I had a film magazine on a tab so I could relate to it as much as I could. The one I had opened was the one on the first slide. I selected the sizes that I wanted and added a new fill solid layer which was dark grey as if was a light colour thriller wouldn’t come out of it as much.

I used a paint brush tool and made the colour a very light grey, I changed the size and hardness of the brush as I wanted a spotlight effect instead of a hard white circle. Some people may have different interpretations on this this as the spotlight could be on someone who's done something bad or vice verse someone who has done something good. This could be an ideal way to draw readers in as they want to know what's happening and what's really going on. This is clever as that’s how we want people watching the film to think.

For “MOVIE” I created a text box and just wrote movie then changed colour, font, size etc. I then rasterized the layer so that I could move the movie so it wasn’t on a straight line. As it was the title of the magazine it had to stand out the most as I want peoples eyes to draw straight to this magazine rather than any other. I then added another layer to write total in I got this idea from…

A slogan is very catchy and will draw people in as it will stick in their head. A slogan is a memorable motto or phrase used in a any context as a repetitive expression of an idea or purpose. As it clearly states that it’s ‘the greatest film magazine ever’ more readers will be drawn well into this as they will know that it’s the best one in shops so why buy a not as good one to a greatest. It may also draw readers in who don’t read film magazines as they might want to see why it’s the greatest and how's it different to any others.

“The” I Chose to not put ‘the’ in capitals as everything else is so far. I done this is that the ‘HEADLINE’ in red and capitals stands out the most and as headlines of stories will stand out a lot. Rather having ‘the’ stand out I just focused on the ‘headline’ standing out this is so that its effective and doesn’t give to much away by the title. I chose red as I want the actor in a Red coat to make an impact on the trailer andit will give people something to always remember.

On the left hand side of the magazine I've added films that would be in the magazine, this will bring people in who are interested in watching these films, also might make people go watch them who haven’t seen them. The * and capital letters on ‘the headline’ is because that’s what's on the main cover of the page. I used red to make it bold to shows that’s not just what the magazine has to offer to draw more readers in. I made a new layer to create EXCULSIVE this was because I wanted to make it look as effect as I have. Using the drop down shadow tool so that it stands out as well as the inner shadow.

Adding the film website in could be essential for weekly readers, but I believe a website shouldn’t give much away from what's going to be in that magazine else it will ruin it and will lose money. It will be a good idea to show a quick brief of what is in this weeks magazine or what to expect in next weeks. Communication is very essential for anyone so they might be able to right reviews and blogs to recommend to people on a film that’s came out.At the bottom of my magazine a date is always needed so that everyone is keeping up to date with their magazines also so people may want to collect them. The price needs to be on it so new readers will know how much it is weekly. The only thing I need to add next to it is the barcode.
