Magazine cover for horror trailer.

This is the finished magazine cover i have created, using photoshop, for my horror trailer. I have changed my original plan for the front cover to have a image of a victim from the film with the shadow of the threat seen on the wall behind him because of circumstances beyond my control. However I have gone for an image of the director (me) for the front cover with the cover advertising an exclusive insight to the "Scariest film of the year" from the director of the film. One thing i would mainly like to change about this cover is the picture size. The picture was taken in landscape which is not conventional for a magazine cover, so if given the choice i would like to re-shoot the picture into portrait so it will meet the typical conventions of a magazine cover.

EDIT

New magazine cover.

I was given an oportunity to change my original magazine cover in the hoped of getting a higher grade and was able to create this new magazine cover. I have gone for the traditional magazine cover with a large image of a character out of the featured movie with verious other articles advertised on the front cover to pull the audience into buying the magazine. The image i have used issupposed to show a victim in the film that has been cornered and pushed up against the wall by the threat of th film. I steel bar is slightly visable in the persons right hand.

Trailer for Horror film.



This is the trailer, made using Sony Vegas 8.0, that i have created for my media coursework. The trailer does not give much away about the film which is what I was aiming for as I wanted to keep the film fairly mysterious to the audience. I am quite happy with how the trailer turned out but there are a few things I would like to change such as the sound effects in places and I would change some of the editing.

Movie Trailer Story boards


These are the two story board sheets I have produced that show the basic outline of my trailer. I have gone into slight detail about the shots I will use and the events that will unfold in each panel. I have been fairly realistic in this story board in the hope that I will be able to make a trailer that looks the same on paper as it does on screen.
