Final Poster &Film Review

Review With the ReviewDue to technical problems we were unable to get back onto our magazine review so we were unable to change the content from Lorem Ipson to actual content. Here is what would have been our magazine review below:
So what's the story - A young girl meets a young guy through a social networking site,but before you think okay another chick flick where they meet and fall in love, just wait one minute. We see the young Laura (Charlotte Simms)going to meet him only, he's a no show.Left feeling rejected she makes her way home and gets on with her day. Off she goes on an innocent walk with her dog into the woods - we think not! Add in some tense action, a slightly scary but weirdly confusing picture and you have some serious suspenseful thriller on your hands. Look out for the intended twist, is it Will (Gregg Smith)? What happened to that other girl? Will we ever know?
What's it like - This ambitious, well directed film firmly places these unknown actors on their way to stardom and fame, you'll be definately wanting to know what happens next!
Grip onto the edge of your seat anyone?
Cherub Productions for their first short - Absolutely brilliant.
Running time - approx 5mins
Verdict - A suspensful mystical thriller!

Draft Film Poster & Magazine Review





Review 1
As you can see our movie poster has a few faults. The writing is really hard to read so we put a white outer - lininng/stroke around it while placing an opaque box around the title so we can see what the titles say whilst still seeing the picture underneath.
Our magazine review also has a few faults, The boxes are uneven and so is the run a round around the quote in the middle of the text. The red circles look out of place and unproffessional, this needs to be changed.

Magazine Review Research




As you can see we have some hand drawn plans that we wanted our review to look like, it was just a basic idea but we really liked it. The other two pictures are from a review magazine, we have circled the conventions that we really liked in these reviews and wanted to use on our own review.

Movie Poster Research


Beastly is a film that is similar to ours because of its mystical content. WE really liked this poster and wanted to copy the way that the boy's face is half light and half dark, but we realised it would be really hard to achieve the look that is shown is this poster here so we opted for an easier image to work with.
The poster is a very good advert for your film so it shouldn't reveal too much but also revealing enough so that people want to see it.
