Movie Magazine Photoshoot Plan

Movie Magazine Flat Plan

I have placed the masthead along the top of the magazine as when placed on a shelf among various other magazines, it will be most visible and so will lure my target audience to my magazine. The masthead will be the largest font of the magazine which will make it easily read and memorable therefore encouraging others to buy my magazine.


On this flat plan I have utilised a skyline feature above the masthead as again this will be most visible when placed on a shelf. A skyline will grab the viewer’s attention and encourage them to buy the magazine. I plan for my main image to take up most of the centre of my front cover. This will direct the reader’s eye to the main image and will connote immediately what movie will be the main article inside my magazine. This will encourage fans of the movie to buy this magazine. Below the main image are the main blurb in explaining what the reader is to expect from this article. Placing these above the main image will highlight that the main headline corresponds with the main image. To connote the importance of the main headline I will write it in a large, bold font signifying the importance the article will have on the issue. Beside the main headline I will include ‘Exclusive’ which signifies that this main article is an exclusive highlighting that it can only be found in this issue. This will attract the fans of this movie and encourage them to buy the magazine. I have placed a puff along the right third of the magazine. This puff will highlight some of the features inside the magazine such as "10 Best Movies of 2015".

I plan to place cover lines along the left third of my magazine as they will be visible when placed on a shelf. The cover lines will highlight to the readers the various features that are also included in the magazine. Below these cover lines I will place a short blurb or lure, a convention used by both Total Film and Empire Magazines which highlight immediately the tone and atmosphere of the article.

I also included a bottom feature title which will list the various other movies and articles which will be featured in this issue, encouraging fans of these movies to buy the magazine.

A barcode, issue number, date and cost are also regular conventions used by most magazines which I have utilised in mine. I believe these conventions are very important. The issue number connotes the success of the magazine through the number of issues. The date highlights the date of publish and the cost indicates to the reader the cost of my magazine each month.

Flat Plans for my Teaser Trailer Movie Poster

For my movie posters I want to use both a landscape and portrait page layout, as this is a normal code and convention when movies are released. I want to use similar images and the same typeface. I want to do this to achieve a recognisable poster that my target audience will associate with the teaser trailer etc... The images I will use will be different but have the same characters and setting involved, I am doing this so I can achieve a flowing continuity throughout my work. I also am going to incorporate the colour blue into both of my posters, this will make them both link but at the same time individual from all other movie posters in this genre as this colour is not a normal convention. I believe challenging codes and conventions will allow me to make my poster slightly unique and recognisable.

Photoshoot Plans for my Movie Poster

Location photographs for my teaser trailer

This is the setting for the beginning scene of my teaser trailer.



























These are photographs I have took are for the outdoor dream sequence within my teaser trailer.

 

This is the indoor setting of my dream sequence location. When filming I am going to add in different editing effects to create an eerie atmosphere to this dream. I am also going to filter some of the footage to make it distorted which will match to the characters thoughts.  

Promoting my Film

I have created a Facebook LIKE page to gain interest in my movie, I will update this page in the run up of the release of my teaser trailer. I am using this to promote my film, and social media is the way forward for that, especially for my target audience who spend a lot of time online and are therefore, more likely to see the film page.
