Film Poster.. more progress
we started making more changes to the poster by changing the background colour to a pale green which links to the film title colour, because we felt there was too much white space. Also we made the main image bigger and the keyboard image clearer to see the lettering better and got rid of the little images of the film, we felt it made the poster look more clearer and profesional also we changed the colour of the actors names to grey because we felt there previous colour of baby blue and baby pink made the film look like it was for children. we will still wok on it and see how it looks with the male protagonist image in the poster too.
Film poster progress...
This is a really first draft of the poster we have the idea of two protagonists beeing in the computer screen to indicate there nature of being involved with computers also put the working title and other additional information into a keyboard to again enhance the importance of computers, because that is were the two protagonists met. We included various elements of real film posters for example weve taken some images of what happens in the film to give an idea to the audience and put the protagonists names in the top corners of the film and also included a tag line of "love is loading" again linking to computers but also including the romatic element ,also adding a certificate to indicate who the film is suitable for and making te date which the film is been launched in a bigger bolder font to stand out to inform audience clearly. But needs further work.
Magazine front cover!
our final magazine front cover has elements from various real magazine front covers (eg empire, total film ) we analysed such as using diferent shapes, hilghiting certain words in order to stand out and intrugue the buyer, adding a competition in order again to attract the audience and also using punctuation marks to ake certain parts of the magazine stand out. Also our image gives away its genre from the way the actors are stood with an incredible height difference and the female trying to reach him to kiss him suggests both romance and comedy which is what the genre of the film is. only thing now we need to add is a barcode bar date and price.
male protagonist photos!
I managed to get the male protagonist to bring his constume from the film and was able to take his photos for the magazine and for the film poster.
Second life Magazine cover process
We decided on this image to use for the female protagonist because it express that the film is a romance film by her wanting to kiss the male protagonist and by the clothles shes wearing ( which she also wears in the film) it also indicates that the film is a comedy.
