Our main magazine and poster ideas...

After some discussion we have narrowed our magazine and poster ideas down to what we would like to have as our ancillary products.

1. The photo below shows one of our poster selections. The scanner has made it difficult to see, but this illustration shows the two girls either side of the poster, putting their hands on a Ouija board, denoting that they are playing the game. The poster illustrates the two 'actresses' through their names being centre top - between them. The Ouija board is centre focus, however, as it dominates the image and represents the significance of the prop, as well as synergy with the film title.

2. The image below represents our second favourite idea for our film poster. It shows the girls in split screens, as well as highlighting the Ouija board 'surrounding them'. We have featured the title of the film above the two left hand images, as well as the main 'actresses' names on the right. We have also included the stereotypical convention of 'Coming Soon' for a teaser poster.

1. Next are our two favourites for the magazine cover. We decided on the title 'FULL SCREEN' as it indicates and implies film theory, as well as the use of 'FULL' showing it represents a mass amount. Therefore, this title has been put about 2/8's of the way down, centre near the top, of the cover, stereotypically found on the magazines we had previously analysed; such as 'EMPIRE' and 'TOTAL FILM'. The core image is of the two girls' hands clasping onto the Ouija board, emphasisng this alongside the title of the film. It also has synergy with the poster idea above. We have also included stereotypical conventions of a magazine cover here, such as sub-titles, images, the price, etc...
   
   

2. Here too is an idea for the magazine 'FULL SCREEN'. This is much simpler, but features only the title of the film and an image of the main actress' silhouette in the distance. She is sitting at a chair, simply playing the game. However, the use of her only being black and faded adds a mysterious feel, as well as our ideas focusing on the back cover being neon red. This would contrast with the black silhouette, on top of denoting horror, blood and gore.
