Film Poster and Magazine Cover Final Draft

Film Poster and Magazine Cover Final Draft

Below you will see our two media texts; our film poster and our magazine cover.

This is our final draft of our film poster. Tinika and I took a while editing with the main image to make it as appealing as possible to our primary audience. The positioning of the main image on the poster was really important as we wanted it to sit well with our chosen background colour. This was really important to us due to the fact that the colour blue linked across our other media texts and shows the synergy of the three. 

We also spent a while editing our credit block due to the website we were editing it on. Tinika and I chose a website called Canva and as I edited the poster and played around with the image and title, Tinika was given the job of creating the credit block. She did this off Canva as she found better fonts elsewhere. We didn't realise until afterward that the credit block wouldn't paste on without a white background which we were unable to cut out using Serif Draw Plus X6 either. This was very disheartening as it took Tinika ages to create it and would have looked really good on our film poster.

However, we eventually created a new credit block on Canva, trying to mimic the previous one as much as possible. 

Other feedback we received was to make the title stand out more which is what I spent doing, experimenting with different fonts, sizes and colours. The end result is what you see pictured above which we received a lot of positive feedback about.

This our final draft of our magazine cover. This went through a major change from our last piece of feedback. The colour of the sticker changed and the size of the font inside the sticker.

The words 'mega movie marathon' changed size, position and were taken out of a box because it took away from the central image. We also added in a review from The Guardian about our film. 

Furthermore, we added the buzzword 'exclusive' to our magazine cover to make it more eye catching to audience members when it is just sitting on the shelf. 

Both of these media texts have come a long way from their first draft and have really developed to appeal to our primary audience.
