Completed Magazine Article

Here is our completed magazine article, which is intended to accompany our finished film poster:



This is our finished film poster. We feel that this poster effectively communicated our intentions for our short film (that is, to create a film that is very surreal, suspenseful and mysterious) and also contributes heavily to a cohesive brand identity across all three of our products. We sought inspiration from classic thriller films and film posters such as ‘Halloween,’ and ‘Friday the 13th,’ where the Killer is constantly depicted as looming in the background and is a constant underlying threatening presence in the main character’s lives. The use of the font, which is very gothic and jagged, and the accompanying colours (red, black) once again connote a heavily violent atmosphere, which we wanted to create with our filmed piece. We also used ‘directors’ quotes’ which are sentiments that we had towards the film, in order to give the readers of the magazine a ‘behind the scenes’ insight into our motivations behind the film. Also, the use of cast and crew credits, production company and official website have all been used to create a poster which seems very expert and convincing, and to give our production a push from amateur to professional.
