Research into film magazine covers

We looked at several magazines including Empire and Total Film. Our group observed that the magazines who's front page was solely based on promoting one motion picture film;

• there was a huge picture of the film of the main cast in dramatic poses.
• the words were limited
• the font was big and bold
• A date of issue
• they featured minor information about other films
• the background color varies from the intensity of the main picture on the cover

Second Draft - Evaluation

We have improved our original draft in several ways:

• We included two different musical tracks to accompany the scenes.
• We added two voice-overs
• We added a sequence where key scary scenes were shown in whilst rewound. This was done to travel back to a 'significant' scene involving the killer and his victim which should show the killer from a new point-of-view.
• We included a evil breathing sound effect for the killer in the last few seconds of the trailer.
• During editing, we made sure to time each scene's progression to the way the music changed. E.g. when Wilson gets dragged away, we timed the song's progress to intersect the precise moment he gets dragged for a more dramatic effect.
