Possible photos for magazine cover/poster

Whilst filming the shots for my trailer, I took a variety of photos which I thought would be suitable for magazine cover/poster. I have also conducted a brief analysis of each images sustainability.

This photo shows the character taking photographs of the couple; clearly identifying him as a stalker.

I think this image is less effective than the previous photo, as he is not taking a photograph. This makes it less clear to the audience that he is stalking the couple.

I have angled the camera as two different positions, for both these photographs of the stalking hiding behind the wall. The extreme long shot of him, highlights his sinister appearance, via dressing him in all black and with his hood up.

Therefore, by photographing the antagonist watching/stalking the couple, via bending down by the letter box and looking at them through their windows, reverses with the safe environment of your own home.

I centered the antagonist as a low angle shot, which presents him as powerful and sinister. Via capturing him in an alleyway, illuminates the tight framing of the shot, and enhances the intimidating and adverse emotions. His direct eye contact with the camera, intensifies the uneasiness for the audience.

This image is sustainable as it is clear to the audience, that an outsider has zoomed in, whilst taking a photograph of them. This enhances the audiences sensation of being aware that they're being stalked.

This photograph of positions the audience with the relationship between the couple as it displays a clear level of affection. Thus inferring how the audience will automatically be made aware that there could be a direct threat to their relationship, from the antagonist.

This low angle shot of the couple, highlighting their relationship as strong, juxtaposes with the paradoxical nature of the incapability the boyfriend truly has in keeping them both safe, as he ends up being killed.

Poster analysis introduction

I am going to conduct research and analysis towards the conventions of film posters. I have looked at five different posters from a variety of genres, in order to see if there are similarities within the conventions.

Below are the five posters, each of different genres, which I chose to analyse the conventions of: 1) La La Land 2) Spider Man 3) Insidious 2 4) Hangover 2 5) The Notebook

Magazine cover analysis introduction

After looking at the conventions of movie posters, I will now do the exact same, but for film magazine covers. Both film magazines I will be looking at are aimed at different audience and will both be for different front covers from a different film magazine. In terms of design and layout, I will be able to see if both film magazines share the same conventions. Below are the two film magazine covers I will be analysing:

Evaluation - what have I learnt from my audience feedback?

Within my research and planning, I constantly had my target audience in mind. I therefore conducted several questionnaires and focus groups, in order to gather information on what my audience expected in regards to different media texts, along with making decisions based on their feedback.
