Okay so this is my magazine cover design, its all horror based, as i hope you can tell ;) so yeah like with the film poster can you tell me what you think and then i can edit once ive recieved your feedback :) thankyou (btw screen shot straight from publisher so ignore the text box lines etc..xD )

"Release me" Film Poster

Okay Guys so this is what i have done so far. using publisher,paint and fireworks i have come up with the above, i would like to know what you guys think of it so far, i am going to then edit it futhermore once i have reviewed the feedback i have been given, so yeah....TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK!

Update

things are getting there,im just adamant not to rush so i can do the best i can, im not gonna lie , using sony vegas to edit my footage is a challenge but its going to show how ive improved my skills form last year, as last year i used the video editing software on the imac, and sony vegas 8.0 is definately an software which is going to show how my skills have increased, but like i said before its going to be a challenge, and not an easy one. The things im finsing the hardest is getting the clips perfectly in time and putting what where, theres just so many editing tools!! i still need to get music and sound effects sorted, planning to do this on the imac, because theres  software called garage band which i am familiar with so i could create some pretty cool stuff. Im working on my Anicillary tasks for the brief now which is the magazine cover and the film poster. im using publisher for both, and they're coming along great, although it's been a tricky process getting the font sorted because i had to edit it alot. i'll post both the poster and the magazine on here so you guys can tell me what you think, so i can recieve some audience feedback. Keep posted guys!

Photoshoot!

Okay so tonight im going to be having a photoshoot and taking photos of the main character for the Main iconic image of the film magazine. I wanted to do this instead of just taking stills from the footage i have because from analysing actual film magazines , i have noticed that the main inconic image is very appealing and positioned in a certiain way to show certain things like status of the character, attitude and genre.i'll be going stacey's (the main character of my trailer) makeup to how it was in the footage and then taking pictures of her in certain styles and positions to fit in with the whole horror genre.

<< This is a still from the footage i got, it's stacey (the main character) in her demon form with the makeup i did for her.

i came across this blog randomly when researching film magazines, but it was an excellent find!

lights,camera, ACTION!

okay so I got my filming done this week, I managed to capture a fair amount of footage and pretty much completely followed the storyboard with the odd tweak on certain shots as I went along. Originally i was to be the Main character in the trailer but I wanted to take complete control of the directing and filming side of things so i managed to get a friend to take my place. There were certain parts of the trailer that had to be shot many times as it wasn't that easy to get all the angles and frame work precise. There was a fair amount to do with the props as i needed to create a spiritual sort of board on the floor, it was fun to create as i had to use salt to create the pentagram whcih took like 5 times to get it correct! And then my house stank of smoke from all the inscense sticks and matches we had a light. The Main character had to have makeup done on her to show her demonic side, this was pretty fun, i just dabbed a load of dark eye shadow around her eyes to make her look rather posessed. So im going to now put my footage into the editing software "Sony Vegas" which is great for editing video. Im gonna add some transitions,Video effects,Text and then create my soundtrack on "garage band" on the IMAC and ass it to my video, than wooo i'll have my trailer sorted! :D
