My film trailer is rated 12 and my 'film' is rated 15. This is due to my trailer containing hints to violence from young children. I if a young child was to watch my trailer they may feel that because the characters in the trailer are carrying out these acts, it is therefore acceptable for them to replicate these acts. The Bobo Doll...

My current draft of my film trailer is coming together quite nicely. However, it is still lacking on the pace, tension and 'fear factor'. To make me trailer have more impact on the viewer, I will need to organise and plan more filming. This extra filming will contain jump scares from close ups of my characters faces and added sounds effects. I will...

Magazine: Move the masthead down and add some cover lines above the title – this is conventional for the mag. You probably need to move your image to be more central, and swap the cover lines from the right side to the left. Move ‘First Look’ up to top right under the masthead OR move the main headline to the centre and have...

Since added my timelapse I have decided to make a rather drastic change to my story. I felt as if my trailer wasn't telling a story or showing 'what could happen' so I implemented a change into the ending of my 'story' to give my trailer more structure and flow. My trailer now has a beginning, middle and end to represent different elements...

Since my last draft, I have added the issue information with pricing for UK and USA as Empire magazine itself is sold in both of the counties but primarily the UK. All of the red text on the front cover is to match the masthead to give it a stronger house style. The titles I used for my 'feature articles' are just titles...

I have decided to use an existing magazine masthead to make it look more like a real magazine and more professional. I have decided to make the font I have added so far the same colour as the masthead to give it a stronger house style, it also stands out a lot on the front cover as I have lots of dull contrasting...

I haven't used any filter on this image, the shadows were created from natural window light as it made her skin look more natural and less ghostly. The studio lights completely washed her out and hid all of her freckles which I didn't want to hide. I then did a similar technique to this image as I did with my film poster; I...

As I broke common conventions with the placement of my film title, I decided to still to convention with my bottom credits and logo. This mainly due to them being slighting more difficult to read anyway so I avoided any more difficultly from an awkward placement. I also changed the font again on my film title because I felt the other one was...

The most recent additions to my trailer is the footage of Flick talking to 'someone', sounding scared and my timelapse of the sunset to show time passing. My timelapse was rather awkward to edit as it is in total 8 whole minutes of footage so I had to speed it up so it looked smooth rather than jumpy. This was very difficult to...

The current stage that my poster is at is my adding the film title. I am doing this first as it is the most important element of a film poster, besides the main image. The reason my title isn't in the traditional placement of the centre of the image is because I wanted to break this convention, to give my poster a unique...

Original image with natural window lighting and no editing.  Second image has had the brightness altered to take away some of the harsh light, that was reflecting on the skin. I then experimented with the hue and saturation to give the impression of more controlled lighting. I also added extra freckles to the forehead to make it look more solid. I added more...
