Magazine Cover

The initial problem we came across in the beginning steps of creating the magazine was when we were filming and taking still photos for the magazine cover. We captured shots which were not really eligible for a magazine cover as they were taken from behind of the characters backs and the set/location was in the background (old/haunted house). Looking back at the inspirational magazine covers we previously viewed we realised the obvious that magazine covers use an image of the main characters mid shots facing the camera so expressions are clearly presented. The following image is different to our initial flat plan, however it does include all the features we noted but just generally rearranged. We aim for a successful finished product such as this recent empire magazine cover. 

This is the image we chose to include on the magazine cover. Its a mid shot and clearly shows the main characters faces, thus they become recognisable to the audience. 

This is the final draft of our promotion magazine cover. We decided to make the magazine a horror special edition, with our product as the focus film as we understand that a constant horror film magazine is rare and its more likely to be a special edition.

The grey border is not part of our magazine cover, it is the background of photoshop where we created the product and then print screened it in order to upload it to this blog.
