changes

I had to make some changes to my magazine front cover, all collectors addition front covers and poster because they had pictures on that I was not allowed to have. I origionally had the Empire logo on my magazine front cover. I only recently found out that I was not allowed to have it on so I made my own magazine title called Filmic. I also had SKA films logo on my poster which I had to take off as well.

collectors addition

I thought it would be a good idea to make a collectors addition of the characters on empire magazine. I have got this idea from the Star Wars collectors addition. Here are a few of the covers that they maded in their collectors adition.



Here are the ones I have made. I put the two main characters in different colours for the background so they stand out form the people.

poster

This is the poster that I have designed. The steps that I have taken to get this poster are to decide the background colour and to add a few pictures.

The second step was to get the title finished. I then decided to make the people in black and white to give the effect that they are the villains. Also having them in the black part of the background highlights this.

I then added the final pictures and decided to keep the two main people in colour to highlight the fact that they are the people that you are supposed to like.

I then added the date of the film release and the writing at the bottom to say about all the people involved in the making of the film. I did this in the style of the real posters by having the smaller and bigger texts.

This is the posters that inspired me the most using the simple red, white and black colour scheme. They are all very simple designs with black being the main clour. I was going to have the background black like these posters but I thought it looked to simlar to the magazine front cover that I have designed. They are also mainly black and white pictures which I have incororated in my poster and I have left the main characters in colour because as you can see the goodfellas characters stand out well in colour

magazine front cover

This is the steps I took to make my magazine front cover. The first step I took was to get decide what the three colours is was going to use were. I thought that black, red and white were the best colours because most gangster films incorporate these colours. The gangster films that usually incorporate these films are normally American Gangster films.

Step two was to make the box on the right for other films or interviews that are going to be included in the magazine

Step three was to add some of the pictures and I changed the title because I didn't think that it looked as good as the new font

step four was to add the final pictures and change the layout slightly

poster

I can't decide weather to have the characters in black and white or to have them in colour.

magazine cover

The magazine that I have decided to base my magazine front cover on is Empire. I have chosen Empire because they have they style that I am going for in my front cover. they have used the three colour rule very effectively with the red white and black. these aer the three colours that I am planning to use. The colours used in these two covers make very effective and eye catching front covers. I think that the three colours work well and fit in with the gangster theme. the positioning of the camera is a low angle shot to make the people look more powerful. this helps transmit the narrative to the audience because they can see they they are powerful people who look aggressive. gangster films sometimes also have the actors holding guns to highlight this point. We usually only see a few of the main people in the American compared to the British Gangster films having a lot of people from little gangs. There is a gender bias towards males because males are shown mainly because they are more associated with guns and violence. also males have a better visual effect because they are bigger and more muscular so you think that you wouldn't want to mess with them where as you wouldn't be as scared if it were to be a women.
