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. This will help my understanding of the depth in film posters, thus benefitting me when I am making my own.  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 

SFX front cover analysis

This is one of the front covers from SFX magazine. SFX is a British magazine, which covers topics in the genres of popular science fictions, fantasy and horror, in different types of medias such as films, video games, comics and literature. The magazine was founded in 1995 and gets published every 4 weeks for Future PLC. The genre of the magazine can be told immediately by the 3D, silver masthead in bold. This futuristic tone has also been accompanied by a visionary dominant central image. The cover lines mention films; 'Dawn of the Apes' as well as tv shows such as 'Walking Dead', 'Super Natural' and 'Doctor Who'. All of these productions fit in with the Sci-fi genre, which SFX promotes. 

Poster analysis 1

The first film poster I am going to be analysing is La La Land as has been classified as the musical genre.  The poster conventions I found for this film were smaller images, reviews, reference to awards, film title, name of stars and star ratings. I suspect the rest of the posters I analyse to include the same conventions, despite the differing genres.
