Flat Plan

                     FLAT PLAN - FOR MY DRAFTS

Magazine A

POSTER A 

Magazine Draft

 Draft one - This image was influenced by the sketch that i created , it has slightly changed because the image included a prop ( baseball bat ) and the character is not wearing a mask . I have only included one sub image and not a button . i have choosen the colours grey black red and white because they are bold colours which connote power and they catch the attention of the audience. The colours used are very typical in horror /slasher films and magazine posters . For example red connotes blood/danger.

Here is my second film magazine draft I have used an unusual font for my masthead I chose the font because I thought that it went well with the genre of my film which is horror. My masthead font represents the items that the stalker/killer uses to attack his female victims for example the slashes in -between the letters connote slashes. i have chosen the colour red for my masthead because it is a colour that is normally linked with horror , Red connotes blood and danger the colour also attracts and catches the eye of any one reading the film magazine. The colour scheme  ( Red black and White ) I would say fits well with my main image, misenscene consists of black and white which is also similar to some of my sell lines . I have included a button on the left bottom side of my page so that it is one of the last information that they will be reading. However i have included a  button so that the audience feel more drawed into my magazine because there is something that they can gain for free. I have chosen to subvert from the horror genre  film magazines by making the name of the character the headline instead of the film itself. I  have done this because i want the audience to have assumptions about what kind of character will be staring in the film , by doing this i believe that some of the charcters personality is revealed for example through misenescene.

Ideas for My Film Magazine

                            Film Magazine Ideas

MASTHEAD/ TITLE

The Masthead of my magazine will be very bold and unique , it will include a font style that links well with the genre of the film which is horror. The Masthead will also be situated at the top of my Magazine page so that it is the first piece of text that the audience notice and that it attracts them directly . I have thought of different font styles for my masthead I am excited by the  different fonts I have seen after doing a font experiment mood board I would like my masthead to link strongly to the film genre so I am thinking of having a font that includes some cuts and fades  or even spikes coming out of the letters .

LAYOUT/COLOUR SCHEME / BANNER/ SUB IMAGES

The Layout of my magazine will be very bold and eye catching , I have thought of powerful colours that I know will attract the readers/audience. The colours I have thought about are Red Black and Grey/White , red because it connotes boldness and danger which is what horror /slasher films are typically based on . Also looking at various Film magazine front covers the colour Red is always used . The colour grey or white because any piece of text is able to contrast well with the colour and they are two colours that can be used as a background for plain text on the page .

I will be including a banner at the bottom of my page because that is where my sub images will be placed along side the banner and price of the magazine. I thought that adding a Banner at the bottom of the page will make my magazine look more interesting ,eye catching and not to plain . It is also a way of adding more features which are included in the magazine .

HEADLINE

My magazine Headline will be the name of the Character or the tagline  to interest the readers more and to allow them to create thoughts about what the magazine is about and what the main feature is . I am thinking of making the tagline very bold and clear to read same with my headline if I deicide that it will be the characters name I will make the first letters of the name in a bubble writing font .

SELL LINES

The sell lines on my magazine will be situated on the left and right hand side of my page so that the main image is the main focus for the audience /readers reading the magazine . The sell lines will include informative text about the features that will be on my magazine . I will be using sell lines that include names of directors/Producers and actresses.
