Magazine Analyse 3 - Avatar

 I really like this movie magazine, I like how they have made the poster blue but what I do like is how they have made the main character on the front of the poster. Also what I have noticed is that they have put the image above the title of the magazine. I like how they have blended the colours of the different blues so that you can properly see the character.

On the magazine the colour of the text is white there is only one bit of text which is blue and a bit of grey. I think this is really distinctive because of the simple effect that they have done by making the markings of the head. This is the first thing you see on the poster and then you start to drift out and read the different points.

There is also above the  title is a list of things that are inside the magazine. This is a good way to get people to buy the magazine, because if people notice the things on the top they may want to buy the magazine purely on the things inside.

Magazine Cover Anaylse 2 - Charlie And The Chocolate Factory

The colours of Charlie And The Chocolate Factory is really bright and colourful. They are really vibrant colours because it's a  family film so it needs to grab the audiences attention.  This film magazine compared to the last, this one has more information on it.

It stands out more, it says about the stars, like the main character who is in it - Johnny Depp and because it's a well known classic everyone knows it anyway. Also it has a star rating to make entice people to watch the film more. With the magazine movie poster it has other promotions on other films. It has a bar code so  you can establish what it is when you scan it in. On the move magazine it has a tagline saying ' the ultimate movie magazine' this grabs the attention of the audience and makes people want to buy the magazine not  just purely on the picture of the new film.

Magazine Analyse 1 - Social Networking

 I think this is a good magazine poster for a film, the film is about the internet and how people connect to each other. This poster I this is really cleverly done they have made a poster up with a load of little photographs of people. with this poster you have to properly look at it to actually get what it's about.

What I have noticed when looking at magazine film posters is that they make the font so it goes with the film. Like in this one they have made up 'FILM' with loads of little faces in it. The only thing that isn't within the magazine poster is the title of the film, it also has the tagline which I like because it says about the film and the social networking  site that everyone knows. 

The colours of the magazine are really dark colours, the only part of the magazine which has any colour is the title. But it's weird because the smaller pictures are in colour.

My Final DVD Sleeve Evaluation

From my final edit, I added some reviews to make it sound really good,  and to get people to buy the DVD, from how scary the reviews sound. I have also added a sticker like add on the front page saying about ow you get a special behind the scenes footage. I added the title for on the front cover and also added the tag tine there are two sides to every secret. I also added a box around the picture on the spine so it fitted in and just tided it u a little bit.

From my DVD sleeve I can tell it looks like  student one because of how it looks. but I really like the pictures I have took and they do look realistic I think it's just the sticker on the front cover that makes it look like one. I think if I were to do it again I wouldn't put one of them on because of how it looks, or make it look better that it does. What I do like about the DVD sleeve is the back cover. It looks really busy but really simple at the same time. I like hoe I have tried to use the same colours throughout my digital graphics, and how well the picture of Beth blurs round the text.

Before I started my DVD sleeve I analysed other ones which were well known and some of them looked really good and simple I got my idea from the one from Saw because of how it looks. I wanted mine to look like a horror film and I think the audience can see that not just from the pictures but from the colours and from the blub at the back as well and the reviews.

I am very pleased with my DVD sleeve because I didn't think it would turn out as good as I thought. it reminds me of an independent film the way it looks. But overall it seems to look okay. I did a voice over to tell you how I created it and on it I go through the steps of how I made it.

How I did it
How I did my DVD sleeve, is I started off by putting an image of Will on the front cover, I did it on a green screen and put an image on the back of it to make it look like a scary room. I put in the certificates on and all the copy right stuff.  I put a black background I did a lot of work in Photoshop, placing pictures and the text around the DVD sleeve.  I did a couple of trial scripts for the blurb as well. I thought it looks okay when I finished it because the whole idea of my idea was to create horror and I think it does this.

How Effective it is
I think the DVD sleeve is quite effective it has everything in it that makes a DVD sleeve. I do think my DVD sleeve looks cheap but I think it looks good as an independent film. There is a credit box which has lots of directors it, they have special features on the back to try and get people to buy it who have already seen the film.  It has a bar code to distablish what film it is, it also has a DVD logo and the company name on the back as well. The back of the cover has a blurb that tells you about the film and what's going in it. There are extras that goes in the film which in this film there are quite a lot of, this is to promote and publish the film for people who have already seen it. They have the credits and have a table which has information about the language and the certificate rating ect of the film. 

My Influences
For my DVD sleeve I have been influenced by the Hostel DVD cover. The reason for this is that the front cover doesn't hide anything away. I like the fact that the image is really graphic and it catches the viewers attention. Straight away you can tell it's a horror film with lots of gore and that is what I wanted my DVD cover to be like which i think I have done quite well, considering that we didn't have as much access to tools and other electronic equitment. Also what I liked about this DVD sleeve is how simple the spline is. The back of the cover is neatly laid out and I like how they have snapshotted a couple of the scenes to dramaticises the gore in the film. In my DVD sleeve I have used the layout of the hostel.

Update of my magazine

This is an update of my magazine, what I have done is I have added colour to to my magazine by putting a red background on it, I have also added a boarder around the the title so it stands out I have done this because it makes it the first thing you see. 

I have also added some text above the the title saying what's going to be in the magazine to catch people's attention, I have also added a photograph of the main character Myles which I have made him black and white, which I thought was a good idea.

WHAT I HAVE DONE SO FAR

What I have done from the previous lession is I have decided to change the background to make it all black, I did this because I thought it looks better and it makes you look at the screen shots in more detail because there isn't anything in the background. I have also added a strip of screen shots in black and white to make it look different and to make the viewer to think about the setting and the colours with in it.  I also put a text box so I can put the special effects in the film.  I also got an image which I took of Beth and darkened her so she went into the black, to give the viewer a feel of what's going to happen in the movie without giving to much away.
