By Midnight trailer, changes...

We made changes to the video using people feedback. This is because once we had created the trailer we noticed that we had the green screen at the end of the trailer instead of the beginning so decided to go back and change this.

My Film Trailer "By Midnight"

Here is the first edit of our film trailer:

When creating this film trailer we tried to follow a lot of the conventions of a action film trailer, as you can see we looked at others such as Die Hard.

We included titles all the way through and made sure they gave the right information away such as main stars, directors names and the producers.

The music which was used was taken from itunes and is fast paced to keep the audience entertained, i had emailed the music company informing them the purpose of using the music.

I have included a green screen making the film trailer look more realistic, i may change where the green screen goes because of feedback which may be given.

Using a female as the main character playing the terrorist role goes against typical forms and conventions which made the film stand out from many others.

My Film magazine front cover "By Midnight"

For the films magazine front cover i followed typical forms and conventions looking at other magazines such as total film and empire. I noticed how they include a bold title which is used in every issue of the magazine so decided i would create one with a catchy name.

The main film which is on the front cover includes a picture which stands out and entices the audience, which i have tried to achieve and also includes the name of the film in bold too. I used the colours which i had used for the poster and trailer which allows the audience to link all three products together this is a use of synergy linking all three products together to advertise the movie.

Buzz words such as "exclusive" and "reveals" are used to entice the audience making them want to read on and buy the magazine. Other stars where also mentioned on the front cover making the audience wider showing how the whole magazine isn't focused on By Midnight film but other films and stars are included.

The price, date of issue and issue number is included in small print showing how this isn't as important but obviously stills needs to be included.
The colour scheme red, yellow and black also makes the magazine edgy and stands out from other magazines drawing people's eye onto the front cover.

My Film Poster "By Midnight"

When creating this film poster by midnight i looked at others to get a style model, i found that film posters are quite plain and don't include too much information, making it easy for people to read walking past.

I used an image which was taken during the day and edited it using photoshop making it look more dramatic in the dark using a spotlight to highlight the main star. The title is very bold and have used the same colours which was used in the trailer which allows the target audience relate and link the two products together.

Other information which was included was directors names, producers and any other films which was made by the same directors etc. This is in a smaller white font underneath the title showing how this is less important to be shown but still needs to be added.

The age rating was included indicating how old the audience has to be to watch the movie in the pictures.

The catchy quote is used in the bottom right hand corner, it gives an insight into the movie which is also used to entice the audience and hints the genre.

New storyboard

We decided to change out storyboard and plot slightly one of the reasons for this was because we couldn't use a classroom but also because we thought it was too much of a complicated story to have both terrorist threat and hijacking in the trailer it may give away to much of the story.

Here is our new storyboard:
