EDITING PROCESS OF MY MOVIE MAGAZINE

 Firstly I got the background from Google. The reason why i chose that specific image is because I wanted the brick effect. The title I had created myself and wanted that specific writing due to the style of the empire magazine

 The picture I used was also edited using photshop. I thereafter inserted all the images in order to get the placement right. I wanted to do this so I could thereafter work around the main titles and move around with the subtitles

The final poster I created is the one on the right which I was happy with because I had taken the perception of the Empire magazine and was able to succeed and create my own

EDITING PROCESS OF MY MOVIE POSTER

 Firstly I had started off by choosing the picture I want for my background and in order to enhance the picture I used photoshop to make it look sharper and clearer. I then added in the movie producers etc. which I got from Google images.

The credits was created on Microsoft word in order to get the right text to get the movie credits style. I then cropped my main image using photoshop and also sharpened the picture and enhanced it more to focus it on the characters (original picture and enhanced pictures are in my photoshoot)

 Finally due to the fact my magazine design was based on the American gangster poster that I analysed, I also created my title using Microsoft publisher in order to get the right font and added the tagline in. The reason why I chose that specific font for the tagline is because the main objective is money leaving a trail and the writing is used to convey the trail

This is the final edit of my poster, which I wanted to keep simple but also stand out to the audience. The BLOODY part was highlighted red because we wanted to convey the image of blood and show that there is crime scenes involved. I was pleased with my final poster because it conveys the message of gangster with the character wearing a suit and carrying a gun and the background showing the iconography of the area we are filming in.

final poster

THE POSTER I HAVE CREATED HAS BEEN BASED ON THE POSTER I ANALYSED AMERICAN GANGSTER, I LIKED THE SIMPLICITY OF THE POSTER IN AMERICAN GANGSTER. HOWEVER THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IN MY POSTER IS THAT I DID NOT USE THE BLACK AND WHITE CONTEXT AS IT LOOKED TOO DULL. TO CONVEY GANGSTER CRIME IN MY POSTER I MADE THE CHARACTER HOLD A GUN AND THE OTHER A BRIEFCASE, ALSO MADE THE ANTAGONIST WEAR A SUIT TO SHOW HIS HIGH UP IN THE WORLD, I MADE THE PROTAGONIST WEAR NORMAL CLOTHES TO SHOW HIS MORE INNOCENT. I ALSO PLACED THE ANTAGONIST IN FRONT OF THE PROTAGONIST TO SHOW HE HAS MORE POWER AND AUTHORITY THEN THE PROTAGONIST. THE BACKGROUND ALSO SHOWS THE HIGH END CITY AREA WITH THE BACKGROUND OF THE GERKIN TO SHOW WEAR THE FILM WILL BE BASED.

FINAL MOVIE MAGAZINE

I HAD BASED MY MAGAZINE ON THE DESIGN AND ASPECT OF EMPIRE MAGAZINE WHICH I HAD ANALYSED. THE REASON WHY THE PICTURE IS OVERLAPPING THE MASTHEAD IS BECAUSE THE MAGAZINE I HAD ANALYSED ALSO HAD THE SAME ASPECT. I ALSO INCLUDED BIG AND BRIGHT HEADINGS TO MAKE IT STAND OUT TO THE VIEWERS. THE COLOUR CONCEPT WAS PRETTY BASIC WITH THE BLACK RED WHITE COLOUR THEME AS I BELIEVE THEY WERE THE BEST COLOURS TO PORTRAY MY GANGSTER THEME
