Below are more advanced proposal forms for the first of my three tasks via prezi presentation. I will post the ancillary task proposal forms in the following blog posts. These are still just my initial, first ideas, therefore i may decide to do things slightly differently when i do my filming, however this is what my thoughts are for now:
Magazine Cover:
Describe your idea for the brief:
A movie magazine called “Spotlight” with a busy front cover; covered with the main image slightly covering the masthead (in order to show that it is well established) with lots of subheadings down the left hand side. These subheadings will have relevant photos next to them, each representing different movies and interviews which will also be inside the magazine.

Genre/ sub genre: list similar magazines which have inspired your thoughts
Empire Magazine – this has inspired me because I really like the simpleness od the typography for the masthead at is very bold, yet plain. This shows it does not need to be fancy or have any intricate detail in order for it to be successful or well recognised, which is something i want to reflect in my work. It is one of the most successful movie magazines in the UK, and since my local cinema is the Empire Cinema, i see the Empire magazine almost every shop i go to, which is something i want to happen with my magazine cover; i want it to be easily recognised and widely distributed in order for my movie to get a lot of recognition and media publicity.

Target audience: gender/ age
While the target audience gender for my actual trailer is female, i think the gender audience for my magazine would be both male and female. This is because both genders read and enjoy movie magazines, as both genders enjoy watching films at the cinema. This means that the buyers/subscribers of my magazine will not lean toward any particular gender. As for age, i feel as though it will be mainly adults and teenagers buying my magazine, as they are typically the age of people who visit the cinema to watch movies.

Major conventions I will use
The title/masthead of the magazine will be in upper case letters (similar to Empire) and it will be titled 'SPOTLIGHT'. The front cover will be rather busy with a lot of cover lines covering information on what’s inside the magazine (photos will accompany these sublines). The colour scheme will be very light, with whites, greys and reds dominating the entirety of the front cover. This is a very gender neutral colour scheme, which is something i want to achieve.
|
Conventions I may subvert/ change/ not use
I will not make the magazine too over-crowded because otherwise, it will look like its aimed for an audience younger than what I am going for. I may add a few other colours to my colour scheme if I need to, so that it doesn’t look too bare with too many white blank spaces.
|
Original images: what/ where/ what
On the front cover, a photo of the 'creature' that follows the girl in my trailer will be featured. This will either be a mask or some face paint art that i will need to create in time. I want it to be a high quality photo, therefore shooting it in a professional studio would be most suitable, preferably with 3 point lighting. It will most likely be myself who is wearing the mask or face paint.
