Health and Safety Check at Location

Filming in the woods – It could be wet and slippery, so sensible footwear should be worn. To avoid further accidents you can get someone to help hold branches out of the way of obstruction for filming and harm of the person filming.

Filming inside the house when its dark – Make sure that all pathways and spaces are clear of large objects that could be a risk to injury i.e. tripping over and hurting yourself.

Props – Alcohol bottles and glasses are a hazard to damage of flooring and actors. I will make sure that while filming they are places in a secure area and bottle lids are on tight limiting spillages.

Magazine Layout Idea

The title of the magazine will be positioned at the top of the page, its an eye catching location and will take up three thirds of the length of page. The font will be bold, readable and in a colour which is suitable for people to read on the eyes i.e. red is strong, bold and recognisable but the colour cant blend in with the image in the background. The image will be either a still frame from the film or a picture which isnt featured within the film like the main characters. The image will be a medium close up so that audiences can view the product clearer and be attracted by their first impression of what they see, it has to come out from the magazine page so that audiences take notice and are drawn to it. Around the edge of the magazine page will be appealing storys that are mentioned from within the magazine, they are extra adaptions on the page to draw readers to view the magazine. They will be alot smaller than the magazine title and film title that is on the magazine page. Along the bottom vertical of the page will be the title of the film in capitalised lettering, it will help to draw the audience to the focus point of the magazine page which is to sell the film to wide range of audiences through another form of media. The price and barcode will be placed in the bottom right hand cornor, once the reader has eye read the front page of the magazine they can then purchase it.

Poster Layout Ideas

Here is my first design layout for my poster. Its a simple, straight forward design with clear focus on the magazine name, title of film, main actors and the poster will display a picture of a main character with loaction setting within the background to help sell the film. I want the fim magazine title to stand out so that it draws audiences to view the magazine and view the film. Decision to place a main character on the poster page is so that audiences can recognise them and they are used as a unique selling point (USP). The image of the character will be a medium close-up to capture the audiences attention in recognising them. Across the left-mid vertical will be the title of the film. This will be bold and will catch the eye of readers.

Film Poster Analysis

There are two taglines used on the poster. Taglines are a phrase or statement that captures the essence of the film and they are used as advertising slogans. The taglines are positioned both in top and bottom horizontal with the medium close-up images of the female character positioned in the centre of the poster. The taglines act as a barrier around the image, that the character is possibly stuck or cant get out of a situation that she is in. The title is postioned in the bottom horizontal above the tagline and release date, its eerie font that grows in size from small letters to capitals might symbolise some kind of attempt to escape. The title is in white writing which matching the top tagline, you can put the statement and the word orphan together and decide that something isnt right with the female actor. The red accessorie around the characters neck matches the bottom tagline, you could link the phrase with the accessorie in the image, its covering her throat which relates to speech and relates back to the tagline of 'CAN YOU KEEP A SECRET?'. Its almost selling the storyline that something isnt right with this character and she isnt telling the complete truth about something.

Magazine Analysis

To the left is a magazine front cover with an attractive layout. I have placed yellow lines around parts of the magazine that i would like to adapt to my own. There is a circle around the female character, she fills the complete page from top to bottom. Behind her head is the masthead, the images covers part of the title but its ok as the masthead is well known. The left vertical hold different font sizes and coloured text about specific things within the magazine, this is ideal to the reader as it gives the reader an insight into what they will read about if they purchase the magazine. If you look closely you can see that the reasoning behind the different font sizes and colour is due to it being a british magazine being sold in a foreign country. The masthead is highlighted for being world widely known, due to the images covering the title, people still have an understanding of the magazine. The barcode is placed in the bottom horizontal, once the audience have viewed the heading, images and content that will be held within the magazine they can then buy it and check the price. There is minimal expression of colour being used, main focus on green, black and red to focus the attention of the reader and not put them off by confusing them with wild amounts of colour and too much going on within the magazine front cover.

Film Poster Analysis

The film poster is one of my favourite as it tells the story through strong images, text and colour usage. The title of the poster stands out in the right horizontal, the colour is a goldy/yellow and it becomes darker as you read it. The title is pale yellow to dark gold, this could be the change from day to night when the phone calls happen. The image in the left vertical is a close-up of a female character, we can only view half her face which holds a phone to hear ear. The silhouette in the far background in the right vertical is of a man, the images together tell the story. The unique selling point in the film poster is the shadow which lurks in the background of the poster. The audience is drawn to the sense of the unknown and they want to find out who or what it is that is displayed behind the young female character. The look of fearfulness and loss in her eyes attracts the audience to want to discover the stranger on the phone and the consequences.
