The document discusses the design choices for a horror movie poster and magazine cover promoting the movie. For the poster, a blank background was chosen to make the image and text stand out, and fonts were selected based on audience feedback that they fit the plot and genre. The main character's image will be featured prominently. For the magazine cover, a black background was chosen to make information legible across genres, and the main character's close-up image will introduce her to readers. Conventions from other posters and magazines, like using slogans, billing blocks, and barcodes, are considered.

Poster Draft For my detailed poster draft, I have decided to use a blank background that is effective to my genre so that the image and information stands out to the audience. This background is also conventional for horror as it connotes negativity and darkness/mystery. The fonts that I have chosen are conventional for my storyline, I found this out through my audience feedback, in which they said that it not only fit in with my plot but it was also generic to horror. The image that I have decided on will ensure that the film is promoted by there is not too much going on within the poster. It is also conventional as the image will be of our main character.
Comparison of my poster I have used an image that will be to one side of the poster to ensure that there is room for information. This will ensure that the audience are drawn in. The sinister poster have included blood and something going on the other side of the poster, which is conventional to display some of the storyline. I will consider this and maybe to include some conventional props that are within my film. The sinister poster also uses a slogan beneath the title, another element in which is conventional to form and genre and I will consider. The use of white font makes it clear and standout to the background on the other poster. This would work on my poster also instead of the white boxes. At the top of my poster there are actors that appear, I should also write about previous films created by the same company. Both posters include a billing block which is an element which is conventional to form. This includes information about the film.
Magazine draft For my detailed magazine draft, I have decided to use a black background that is effective to most genres, which is conventional to the magazine company as they promote a variety of genres. This background will also ensure that the information will stand out to the audience. The fonts that I have chosen are again conventional for many genres, I found this out through my audience feedback. The image that I have decided on will be of the main character, close up to ensure that the audience are introduced to her early on. I have used white fonts as that they stand out, however, when it comes to creating the magazine I may rethink he house style.
Comparison of my magazine I have used an image that will be central to the magazine but will also leave room for information about that film and others. This will ensure that the audience are drawn in to the film and are also introduced to the main character. The Empire magazine have included a close up of a main character, however, they have used many more cover lines, something that I need to consider when I create my final product as it is a conventional element to form I will ensure that my magazine is similar by making sure that there is not too much going on. I could do this by using effective makeup for the character rather than using significant props that will draw attention away from the character. The Empire magazine also uses a barcode which is conventional o form and I need to include in my product. The use of an effective house style makes it conventional to a variety of genres, whilst maintaining its professional appearance and being bold and standing out. I need to think of a house style that would be conventional to my magazine. I also need to consider using a smaller image as part of my cover story.
