Planogram

The magazine planogram shows the following features that we will be including in our magazine as we have planed what we want to include and exactly where to put it making sure that we adhere to the convention to a horror magazine. When researching ideas for our magazine we looked into how most of the horror magazine were very busy and overcrowded, so we though of adding a main central image on the top and will be the biggest part of the magazine as it the main point of selling this film, as this will introduce the film to the audience giving them the first preview of what the film will look like. Below we have created the plan we intend to follow when creating our magazine cover.

Making Film titles

When making our title for our film we decided to name the film 'SNATCHED' as we thought it would suit our story line of our film. so we tried out some of the styles with that name, but then we decided to change it because we thought it would suit better with 'STALKER' as we though it would be better as it the style that we have put with the name of the film would suit better as the connotations associated with the forest with the reflection showing that there is something following the protagonist around, showing a direct connection between them. For most of these titles they were created on Powerpoint using the wordart tool and selecting the forest to be place inside the text. The first title we used wordart and choose a a font which we changed to, which is called the book antiqua in the font 72 and we decided that it was going to be placed on a black screen. We thought that we would have a black screen for all the titles as we thought it would contrast well with the overall theme of our trailer as it is a horror, it would create a hidden effect. Then the second title we decided to experiment with having a reflection and this was the stage that we change our title of the film as we though the forest being hidden inside the forest would create mysterious look and makes it seem that there is someone spying on the protagonist and the audience from the woods and so this allows to create the atmosphere of which creates an obsessed antagonist being after the protagonist. Also with this title we decided to add a curve to it and we did this by editing it by using the change the text effect to a more curvy look, as this would suggest that this antagonist is very powerful and can get control of the people that it wants.The reflection of it suggests that it can manipulate other and again shows it strength. However we thought this film title was bit too wide and thought it wouldn't fit well with out trailer in terms of composition, we we thought that we wouldn't use this title.

The third title we decided to not use the curve and just have the title in a straight line, as then we can fade it in and out when putting it in our film trailer as we think it would look better with reflection revealing it slowly to the audience the title of the film. When creating this title we used the font called Bodoni MT Black in the font 72 and we thought that this would be a suitable font because when putting the forest inside the text, we can can see it better and it would look more prominent in the trailer. However we thought that title still lacked something and the outline colour just made the overall title very dull along with reflection. Then we experimented with outline of the title and we first used different sades of green to see which one would suit better, but when using the outline, It just camouflaged with the forest being inside the text, then decided to go for a more vibrant colour such as oranges and yellows and we looked at what would give the title a better contrasts so we then went for a bright orange which we though would suit best for the title of our trailer, as it creates a bold vibrate appearance of a our title, alongside of the reflection being added, which highlights our antagonist showing that it will be a dominant character in our trailer

Then we decided to have the same theme to introduce when the film will be out, as this is an important element to a trailer as it informs the audience on when the film will be released, but we have specified so have on the bottom corner of the screen putting the hashtag and the film website so it allows to keep the audience updated and aware for a more specific time of when the film will be released.
 

During the trailer there will be a lot of cuts to leave enigma codes to the audience about what happens in the trailer. During this will have the directors from the lost locket to inform the audience about what other films we have done as it may cause some familiarisation with it.

Day 2 of filming

Making production titles

During our editing we found that our original title doesn't suit our trailer as it was more convention to a fantasy film, so we decided to use photoshop to create a new title, by adding an eye looking out of the wall with the tear and we thought that this would be a our base of title and we played around with the brightness and contrast to creates a moody effect and starts to show the personality of the antagonist. Then changed the font of the title by going on Power point and using the wordart tool and then deselect the background of the title as we thought it would connote a mirror which is see through allowing to show the audience that the antagonist will be following the protagonist all through film and this would be reflected in title giving hints to the audience. we then transferred the title to Photoshop and we enhanced the outline of title to make it stand out more and we increased the size of the title so that it fits the middle ground and would fade in with the background of the picture

Inspirations for film poster

I have gathered some of other film posters, which we used for inspiration and ideas for our own poster, we looked at the type of colour schemes they use, composition of the there of poster. Most of these posters have a lot of dark lighting, signifies the scare and shows the genre of the film, it a lot emphasis the main image of the film poster. The main image shows a significant part of the film which will allow the audience. Most of these film poster signifies the presence of the antagonist in the film, which would scare the audience and build this enigma to the story, intriguing the audience to find out ore about the film. All of these film posters don't reflect a busy atmosphere in the poster as the main image show a lot more important than the background itself. For our film poster we will be taking ideas from these posters and cooperating them to make our own poster for our film
