For my magazine cover I am going to use two images that I will blend onto each other to create one image. The use of the picture again is keeping consistency across my products as well as making the image clear to the audience. For this unlike my poster , however, this image wont have reference to the protagonist as normally on magazine covers horror films will put the antagonist on the cover.

Feedback from audience: 'The Masthead could be taller and stand out more' 'Get rid of  the The Picture bit in the sell line above the big title of the movie, it doesn't need to be there twice.' 'Make the font on the Interview with the director smaller so that its more like the top 10 movies sell line' 'Maybe make the image larger to fill more space, there is a lot of blank space' 'I like the cloud effect in the background, makes it more interesting.' 'The line at the bottom is too eye catching and big, maybe make it smaller?' 'The Issue number needs to be smaller, it's too big' 'I like the image, especially the eyes as it makes it more creepy'

My magazine will be called The Ghoulish and it will be sold at supermarket stores for £2.99. The magazine itself will be less serious that my other two products in order to be more shelf friendly. The magazine will contain and article on our film as well as articles for other horror/horror sub-genre films put this year. My audience will be similar to my trailers audience in that it will be aimed at males aged 16-25 who are interested in horror. The only different here being that there will be less of a focus on being a creative and more a focus on the horror genre as a whole.

For the second draft of my poster I have created two versions based on audience feedback. One (left) has had the image of the actual picture added onto it in order to relate it more to the film. This may not be a great addition as it is starting to take away the simplicity the poster had before. This poster also has amendments to the cast lines colour and font as well as position and small sizes have been made to the fonts on "THE PICTURE" and "SOME THINGS SHOULD NOT BE DESTROYED" in order to make the title stand out more. The second poster (right) is without the addition to the image but does have the same alterations to the cast lines and the fonts on the title and subtitle. This poster is more simplistic and not as busy which may be a positive rather than having another imaged layered on top as the focal centre of the poster is easier for the audience to see. I require more feedback for both posters in order to determine the best one f...
