2) Main Image - usually a medium close up, close up (or head and shoulders shot) - usually involves the main actor of a film, and is looking directly at the camera - covers up most of the front cover.
3) Cover lines - Main text on cover - advertises the different articles inside
4) Slogan - Usually goes underneath mast head - tells audience what it provides, making it unique
5) Banners - Bigger than cover lines, advertises more big articles within
6) Straplines - Usually highlight the stars within the magazine/main photo
7) Buzz words - Words like 'free' and 'new' which capture the readers attention.
8) Barcode/Price/Date - Usually located together in the corners of the magazine.]]> 2018-05-21 11:21:37 UTC https://padlet.com/tolljaboi/mpftgkjteufe/wish/262321204 tolljaboi https://padlet.com/tolljaboi/mpftgkjteufe/wish/262321424 The primary photo (of the protagonist 'Ghost', played by Harry Palmer) was taken outdoors purposely in order for us to take advantage of good natural lighting that we found while filming the trailer. The use of natural lighting can relate the the element of realism as well as place the character in natural high-key lighting portraying him as pure and innocent, relating to his comedic persona. The costume he is seen wearing reminds the audience what his job within the narrative is as the black suit, shirt and red tie could make the audience think about the original 'Hitman' film (played by Timothy Olyphant).]]> 2018-05-21 11:23:10 UTC https://padlet.com/tolljaboi/mpftgkjteufe/wish/262321424 tolljaboi https://padlet.com/tolljaboi/mpftgkjteufe/wish/262321819 My magazine production process only included one draft because I had already established my overall theme, design and layout, so therefore all I had to do was to experiment with different colours and font effects to see which suited my magazine (and film genre) the best.

I gathered some feedback from my class mates and also my teacher as well (shown below):

- Include more coverlines about articles and a slogan
- Title has to be a lot bigger and so does the image
- Use the font from my trailer as the strapline for my front cover
- 'How can I buy the magazine when there is no price and barcode'
- Maybe the main image shouldn't be black and white, because it dims the magazine overall.]]> 2018-05-21 11:25:49 UTC https://padlet.com/tolljaboi/mpftgkjteufe/wish/262321819 tolljaboi https://padlet.com/tolljaboi/mpftgkjteufe/wish/262322043 The colours I am looking to use in my magazine front cover are white, yellow, blue and a darker background (potentially a dark grey). By having a darker background alongside colours like yellow and white will mean that the magazine titles etc will stand out more to the reader. This is crucial because the magazine would be sold alongside hundreds of others therefore, the colours would have to effectively capture the readers' attention. Film magazines have a lot of flexibility with colour and can usually mach the colours with the character on the main image. 'This means I will be able to adapt the style of the magazine to suit myself, while still following the codes and conventions. Below are a couple of examples to back up that point:]]> 2018-05-21 11:27:07 UTC https://padlet.com/tolljaboi/mpftgkjteufe/wish/262322043 tolljaboi https://padlet.com/tolljaboi/mpftgkjteufe/wish/262322150 The website below allowed me to browse through hundreds of free to use magazine fonts (including film magazine fonts) The font I chose was the AMCAP Eternal by the Fontry. I chose this because it is thick and is unique among other fonts used by magazine companies. By smoothing the edges and adding a sharper contour to the font on Adobe Photoshop it made it look bolder and stand out to the reader.]]> 2018-05-21 11:27:47 UTC https://padlet.com/tolljaboi/mpftgkjteufe/wish/262322150 tolljaboi https://padlet.com/tolljaboi/mpftgkjteufe/wish/262323053 2018-05-21 11:34:46 UTC https://padlet.com/tolljaboi/mpftgkjteufe/wish/262323053 tolljaboi https://padlet.com/tolljaboi/mpftgkjteufe/wish/262323123 2018-05-21 11:35:15 UTC https://padlet.com/tolljaboi/mpftgkjteufe/wish/262323123 tolljaboi https://padlet.com/tolljaboi/mpftgkjteufe/wish/262323155 2018-05-21 11:35:30 UTC https://padlet.com/tolljaboi/mpftgkjteufe/wish/262323155
