Ancillary texts- Magazine article (final)

as you can see I have now added white text against a black background and used colours, similar to those used in Empire magazine (blue and orange) I have added page numbers to make it look authentic and a qoutation in bold to stand out.The black and white assimilaes the Twilight article whilst the colours are generic of many of the other articles in Empire..

Main task- Magazine article

This is a basic template from where I will begin, the article will be much like the 'Twilight' one shown in the research below. As you can see I plan to include pictures as well as writing and titles.

I plan to write in white writing against a black background for effect and to assimilate the 'Twilight' one from Empire Magazine. I couldn't choose between these two images to have in the background.

As you can see I have chosen this one, as I found many articles show the actors entire body, also I find the dynamics interesting and the way she is looking. I also think it's more thriller like as she is supposed to be holding a gun.



As you can see I have added star ratings similar to the rankings shown in Empire magazine.
I have taken a picture of this being shown in the actual magazine below.



I have changed the stars to all black to make the appearence neater. I have also copied the box which is used in Empire magazine inlcuding, plot, running time etc...


Main task- final poster


Analysis- I chose this reflection as the others looked insigificant from far away where as this one still resesmbles a face and looks far more effective as it fills the pupil. I also feel that not seeing the character fully shows a darker side to the character and is conventional to a thriller as many of the characters seen in thrillers have a 'dark side'. In the editing process, I brightened the eye to make the reflection more obvious and perfected some of the stray eyelashes, I feel this gives the poster a more professional look. The writing suggests the 'spy/assasin' genre and is multi layered again to suggest the characters personality. The credits at the bottom are also to make it look professional and to provide additional information. The actual eye is my characters and so is the character inside the eye, this shows a deeper meaning and hopefully intrigues that audience as they question who she is looking at.

Main task- media evaluation

Post production- music choices

I chose this song for my beginning sequence as the beat is constant and helps build tension.

And I chose this song for the sequence in the main location, as it fits with the genre of thriller and again builds tension and excitement.
