Before we are able to create our film poster and magazine front cover we have to create mock ups which allows us to see what our final products will look like and also it gives us the ability to plan ahead and helps us to avoid mistakes.
Instead of using the film magazines 'Total Film' and 'Empire' we decided on making up our own film magazine and decided on the title 'Movie Reel'. The pun in the title reflects on the comedy and wittyness within our film. We decided on a colour scheme of red, white and blue to help symbolise that the American nature of our film. The central image for our film magazine cover is going to be a romantic image of our two main characters, to help to emphasise the genre of our film. We have also included the other groups in our classes films as film magazines usually advertise new releases and because of copy right reasons we cannot use real film images.
Unconventionally we have decided to include a background in our film poster as we did not it to appear too bland, and also because if it has a background you will be more inclined to keep looking back at the image to see if you have missed any detail. We decided to include a parody within our poster to emphasise the humour within our film. Our main characters are mimicking the classic memorial Titanic scene where Jack is drawing Rose naked, but our characters are fully dressed and instead of drawing April Buddy is drawing childing, boyish pictures of a dinasaur. The title of our film is going to be in red as red is usually associated with romance.
Well done - I didn't realise this was a planned reference to Titanic here.
