Ancillary Task - Horror Poster Screen Shot One

Horror Poster Screen Shot One:

This is the first stage within the process of my first magazine and this shows that I have placed the title of the film on the page which really stands out against the black and if the largest writing on the page. I have then placed a tag line which is just under the title which is a common convention within horror poster. I have then placed what other films the producers have produced on the page. There is also a line which reads 'welcome to catville' which grabs the readers attention and makes them wonder what's wrong with catville. I have also placed the company logo on the page and the age declaration on the bottom right and left corners which is a common convention within horror posters.

Ancillary Task - First Horror Poster

This is my original horror poster which I was going to use before I decided to change some elements of it. I am going to show you the development of this poster and what things I though looked poor and what I needed to do to make it look slightly better than it was in order for me to get the best marks possible.

This is my first horror poster:

Ancillary Task - Magazine Screen Shot Three

Magazine Cover Screen Shot Three:

This is the final magazine cover with everything on it and as you can see the last thing I did was add the image to the page which my audience felt looked the best. As you can see I decided to manipulate my image so that it was in black and white which denotes aspects of horror and I then decided to make her eyes red so that they draw the readers attentions and allow them to see that she has some kind of evil within her which the audience an see through this image with they said grabbed their attention hence the reason as to why I decided to use this image within my horror magazine cover as it stands out against the page.

Ancillary Task - Magazine Screen Shot Two

Magazine Cover Screen Shot Two:

This is the second shot within my horror magazine cover and as you can see I have added two different sections within my magazine cover. The first thing that I have added is buzz words at the bottom of the screen which allow the readers to see what else is featured within the magazine which is another convention of horror magazines. I have also added a tag line showing the featured film of the magazine within this issue which is our horror trailer, 'Dear Devil'. As it is featured under the title it means that this instantly grabs the readers attention and makes them want to know more about the featured article.

Ancillary Task - Magazine Screen Shot One

Magazine Cover Screen Shot One:

This is the first stage of my horror magazine cover and as you see this is where I have placed my mast head at the top of the page following the conventions of real life media magazines. I have placed the bar code at the bottom left hand corner of the page which is another convention which contains the price of the magazine, the date and the issue number of the magazine. Since I have took inspiration from the real magazine of Starburst I need to do almost everything that this magazine does in order for my magazine to have aspects of real media and I done this by also placing a slogan for the magazine above the mast head which is what the real Starburst magazine does. I then placed a selling line at the bottom of the page which tells the readers what other aspects of the magazine that are incorporated which will again catch the readers attention. I have also placed the website of the magazine on the page which will allow the readers to go onto the website and find out more about this issue of the magazine which is again a common convention of horror magazines.
