Name's for Magazine Front Cover
For my film magazine front cover i have two options in terms of names. My first option is to use a well know magazine name such as Empire or Total Film. My second option is to use a less well known film magazine name such as Electric Sheep.
Using well known film magazines names has the advantage that you can can have images part the way over the film name because the film magazine is well known, so their audience is already established.
If you use the less well film magazines then although you have the adavantage of pulling in new audiences, it is best that you leave the film magazine title name free from images because you want new people to buy the magazine and if the title is left free than more people are likely to buy it.
Upon considering both options for my magazine front cover page i think it is best for me to use a well known film magazine for my film magazine front cover ancillary product. The reason for this is because i want to be able to use images that can stretch over the title to make full use of the magazine front cover.

Ancillarys
When i produce my film poster and a magazine front cover. Before i create my poster and magazine front i need to consider if i am going to use an image (a still shot)from my teaser trailer, or if i am going to use new images. Because of photo quality i decided to use new images that had not be included in my teaser trailer.
For my teaser film poster i am going to use a photograph of the child running away. This will be hard to create because i must ensure that the quality is of a high standard because i want it to look professional. For my magazine front cover i am going to use a still shot taken with a proffesional photographers camera this will make the photo look more effective, and the detail will be better.
There are some things for both the magazine front cover and the teaser film poster that i will have to ensure that i keep the same, these include:
- The font and colour of the film
- The same sort of colours for the image (it wouldn't work if the film poster is a a light colour and the magazine front cover is a dark colour).

How to improve my teaser trailer from my first draft
Once i uploaded my film to www.youtube.com i was able to see comments that people i emailed to reply. I emailed people on my contact list to ask them to give me their views and opinions. This is helpful to me because people are able to compare my teaser trailer to other trailers they have seen in the past, so therefore it will make it look a litte more mainstream with their advise.
One of the comments on the teaser trailer on youtube was:
The titles on the video look ineffective espically with the white
The people names could be effectively used by placing them over the persons face
At the end when the mobile phone is shown the quality could be improved by changing the ending to a louder ending, similarily to the build up of tensions in an argument if you get what i mean?

Poster Research
One of the best film posters that i have research is the film poster for Vera Drake.
Mike Leigh is known for writting drama films, other drama films that he has written are; Secrets & Lies and Naked. These films focus on real-life, everyday situations. Vera Drake is a drama film that is produced by Simon Channing-Williams and it is directed by Mike Leigh
The film posters for Mike Leigh's films are of the main character(s) in in film. This is the film poster for Vera Drake:
This film poster has used dark colours for this poster and it uses a red colour for the title of the film. Using the colour red suggests to the audiences that their is death involved within the, and because the red text is the title and the title is that womens name; Vera Drake it gives the audience an idea that it might be Vera that kills somebody.
The photo of Vera Drake is a very innosent picture, this makes the audience automatically feel sorry for Vera - without even seeing the film, not even knowing if she is guilty or inocent.
