Ancillaries: First Draft Of Magazine Review

Ancillaries: Creating A Magazine Review

Within the brief, we had to make a 2 page magazine spread reviewing our film.
After looking at many Little White Lies review pages, I started to create my spread. Here are photos showing the progression of this:

 I knew I wanted the pastel blue and grey palette for this piece, however I wasn't so sure on the layout of the magazine.

The main experiments were about positioning of text, making sure it is readable.

I included some conventions of magazine reviews, such as: the use of photos and enlarged quotes.  I think this lead to the article looking quite legitimate.

Ancillaries: Creating A Film Poster

Here are some screenshots showing the progression of creating my film poster.

This was the initial idea I had for the poster, however, it didn't particularly look much like a poster advertising a film, so I changed it.

 I started experimenting with text and re-colouring the photos.



On top of this, I used a dark rock texture for the title to sit on top of.


I also downloaded the font 'steeltongs' for the credits for the film. I then made it narrower and taller.

I wanted to use 2 photos on the poster as it shows two elements of the film, so the audience sees what the film will include.

The top image is a warm, sun-filled photo showing the 3 protagonists relaxing - whereas the bottom image shows them looking more stressed, and is cold, suggesting there may be darker moments in the film.

I believe that by including the convention of long narrow text - I made by poster look somewhat legitimate.
