Radio Trailer

This is our finished radio trailer, we included sound effects from our film that we thought would be suitable.

Radio Trailer Editing

 We also used Final Cut Pro for our radio trailer, we started by placing our chosen music which is also used in our film into Final Cut Pro and then adding all of the other elements.

We then recorded the dialogue which is in our trailer and then added it and took away the footage that came with it. We finished by adding effects and fades where needed and making sure that the feel and that the radio trailer felt right for our film.

Magazine Review - 1st Draft

This is the first draft of my finished magazine review, I still have things that I can improve in this piece such as adding more writing as when I printed it out I realised that the font size was too big compared to that you would find in a magazine review in Empire.

Magazine Progress

I have completed the layout and background to my magazine review, I am now adding the text to the review.

Magazine Review Progress

This is the complete layout of my magazine review, all I need to do now is add the writing and layer it onto the page.

Magazine Review Progress

I have added tape and drawing pins so that it appears they are holding the pictures on the magazine page, I noticed that in Empire magazines it is the small details that complete the look of the article and this is what I am trying to recreate.

I have just added the photographs to the background of my article, I am going to try to convey the theme of our film through the article and will use lots of Polaroid related features.

Magazine Review Plan

This is a basic plan for my magazine review, I have combined several elements of different Empire articles to create my own Empire inspired magazine article.

Magazine Inspired Draft

 The article for The Box in the October 2009 edition of Empire really caught my eye when I was flicking through the magazine, the composition of the article was interesting and once looking at it more carefully I realised that it was mimicking a box with lots of straight edges and 90 degrees angles. I then was inspired by this article to create my own version of it. I have only created a basic outline for this one as I do not think the style suits our short film entirely so I will continue to research layout but I will take things from this article and try to apply them to my finish review.

Magazine - Colour

Colour is a very prominent aspect of Empire magazine, they use it to give the readers a feel of the film and an indictor of the genre. The article above regarding the film To Kill A Mockingbird is in black and white and this is reflected in the magazine by using only dull and subdued colours. In contrast to this piece the article about Sherlock is very vibrant and colourful, this hints at the genre of the film as it is partly a comedy, also it could possibly suggest the time period as To Kill A Mockingbird was made a long time ago however Sherlock is a present day film and was made in the past few years.
