Poster and Magazine First Drafts

With my poster, I chose to have the film distributed by Working Title, Film 4 and Studiocanal as my film would be minor (but not independent) as it's not high quality/budget but does include some mainstream narrative features, such as a love story. I also included a website to show the social media and marketing side of the poster. I decided to go with the minimalist look for the poster as well as the magazine to create a feel for the film. Both the ancillary tasks are in black and white to show the bleak and post apocalyptic tone of the film. The filter ('MagicPen') I used for the picture above also looks like he has a skeleton back, furthering the genre of the film and a hint at the character's darkness.

I decided to base my magazine on Little White Lies and its layout due to the content of the film having both independent and mainstream features and the edited pictures fitting the look of the magazine. I wasn't sure whether to include text or to stick with the just the picture:

With the text, I conform to Little White Lies' conventions of having a theme every time one of their magazines come out and always having text somewhere on the cover. In the past, some magazines have tag lines such as "The Black Swan Issue" or "The Road Issue", so I made mine "The Broken Issue" since the film is called Broken. The picture also works well with the magazine's conventions as their magazine covers look drawn and artistic with the filter used ('Paint'). However, I prefer the magazine without the writing so I will try creating a draft with a more subtle text of the name of the film to see how that looks.
