Draft Of Magazine Cover

We then decided to use a 'regular' picture of Adeeti in which she is smiling and appears to look quite happy. This shows that in the image she is not in her character and is being her regular self, which would appeal to our target audience and fans of the film, or horror.



As you can see, Adeeti is standing against a white background. We didn't like the idea of this, so we decided to cut out Adeeti using the magnetic lasso tool and putting her onto a black background, with a red 'Total Film' masthead. We added teasers and headlines on both sides as this is a key convention of magazine covers. They looked quite dull so we added 'stars' as bullet points on the left, and on the opposite side they are on top of rectangles the opposite colour of the text. The stars represents the 'Hollywood stars'. We have a free posters sign which has a white outline, which looks like a sticker as it has been stuck onto the cover. We also added other covnentiond such as the main headline, barcode, issue number and much more. Our cover looked quite 2D so we decided to add a thin white outline around Adeeti and a shadow to make her stand out of the page.

Ideas For Magazine Cover

Creating the magazine cover was the most difficult task. In fact, it was harder than editing the actual trailer! Despite being more familiar with Photoshop than Sony Vegas, it was difficult to come up with the right concept for the cover. As the trailer is of the horror genre, I was unsure whether to take an image related to that or regular shots. Me and my group took over 100 photos of our 2 lead actors - some on their own and some together.

It was difficult choosing the right image, but in the end I did. However, I had to start over around 4 or 5 times with different images.

The Dark Knight Magazine Front Cover Analysis

This is an analysis of an existing film cover, to help me create my own for Till Death Do Us Part with my group.

Till Death Do Us Part - Official Trailer

This is our final trailer, uploaded onto YouTube.

Feedback From Social Networking Sites

After completing our trailer, we thought it would be a good idea to post it on different social networking sites. On behalf of the groups, I thought it would be a good idea to post it through my personal Twitter account. The trailer received a lot of feedbsck which was mainly positive. A friend of mine was kind enough to post it onto her Facebook account as the group didn't want anyone within our college to see it just yet! Each group member has uploaded it to their own personal YouTube account.

Choice Of Music

Till Death Do Us Part isn't a slasher film, and in the trailer the scenes build up a lot of tension. It starts off with an establishing shot and gradually gets faster to make the audience feel quite panicky. In order to find the perfect music, we searched different types of music on YouTube.

We found two pieces of music which were perfect for our trailer. The first piece is quite slow but builds up a lot of tension. It was too slow so we made it faster. The second piece is quite jumpy and emphasises on the speed of the quick shots. We merged both of them together.

We included a 'heart beat' sound effect. After the victim is screaming in the trailer, the screen goes black and there is no sound, and the title of the film appears. This is when the 'heart beat' sound effect appears.

Jigsaw Productions

This is our final logo. It took quite a while to decide how to design as we had many ideas, but this was our best idea. The 'i' in Jigsaw on the puzzle piece shows that there's more to something that meets the eye.
