Magazine Draft

This is the draft for our film magazine. We decided to use this font and colour scheme because it is similar to the magazines that we researched. We decided against having lots of text because it would over crowd it and also distract away from the main feature of the magazine, which is our film. This was important as our brief is to promote the film we are creating. Also we thought that it would be better to advertise the actress rather than the character's name because we would be covering an interview with her. However, we are still undecided about whether to have a picture of the character or the actress. Although the interview is with the actress, we could be giving an insight to the film by showing the character on the front and also this does happen on real magazines. We thought that it would be difficult to show whether the actress is in character or not because the film will be contemporary so the character wont really be wearing anything that is out of the norm so even if she was dressed as the character, it would be hard to tell if she actually is the actress or the character.

  1. With contemporary films, unless there is a superhero costume (Megan Fox/Heath Ledger in Dark Knight) or other indications like dirt and blood (Harry Potter), often the magazine struggles to have a character picture and goes with the actor/actress (Zooey Deschanel). Think carefully about this. Compare your thoughts and decisions with real mags to ensure that you are constantly comparing with real media.
    Good first draft.
