Paranoia Teaser Trailer

Sight and Sound Magazine - Paranoia

This is the final version of my Magazine 'Sight and Sound' advertising my film 'Paranoia'

First Version of Magazine

After all my planning this is what I came up with for my Magazine:



I wasn't pleased with this however, so i decided to add more to the text on the magazine and make it sound more official. Here is the next version of my magazine:

Choosing Fonts - Magazine

Looking at the magazines previous issues and assessing their style I knew i shouldn't use any of the strange 'wacky' fonts that can be found in 'dafont.com'. Instead I needed some that were quite plain and unadorned that just get the message across. Looking through dafont.com I came across the font 'Headline One' which I thought would be perfect for my title. I downloaded that and applied it on my magazine in a size 72pt.
The Magazine name was a more difficult one to find as it has to look the same if not similar to the magazines own style. I couldn't find one that looked exactly the same so I experimented with a few and discovered that 'Cooper Std' fitted the style and was fairly similar to the original font so I decided on that. To fit the box I have already created in accordance to 'Sight and Sound's' style, i out it again at 72pt (The font used makes it larger than my title).
The words 'The international Film Magazine' needed to be in a thin font so i chose 'Consolas' at a size 18pt which I think looked the part. This text I made red in correspondence to Sight and Sounds style
For the text that I am putting beneath my title, I decided to use the same font 'Headline One' to match and keep it simple like the magazine is. I used a 24pt size.
The text in the circle normally found beneath the main articles on sight and sound needed to be in a long slim font that is still easy to read. I couldn't find again an exact match but i thought the font 'Haettenschweiler' fitted the part. The word 'Film' needed to be bigger than the rest of the text so i put that at a size 46pt with the other words 'every new' and 'reviewed' at 18pt.
In the smaller box opposite the name, I needed to have the date, volume and price read. I used the font 'Optima' for the date at a size 18pt and 'Cooper Black' at 14pt for the Volume and price. From looking at Sight and Sound I knew that the month it came out in (April) is shown in a red font so I made sure to do the same. In the same way I knew that the '&' in Sight & Sound magazine needed to be red too with the rest black. I put 'Paranoia' in red and the text beneath in white. 'Every New Film Reviewed' is in white with the circle its in, red.

Things to include on Magazine

Since I am using Sight and Sound for my Magazine, I need to makes it look like their normal style. The main thing is the yellow box's on the left and right hand side of the page. They are simple enough to create, I just need to use the rectangle tool on Photoshop to create the box then fill it with a yellow that matches the norm. I need to do that twice in different sizes.
I also need to find the BFI logo and paste that onto the second box as well as a bar code. To do that, I simple went on to google, typed in what I wanted and saved them onto my page.
Sight and Sound also has a circle with 'Every New Film Reviewed' written in it. For this I can do exactly the same as I do with the rectangle - create a circle and fill it with red.
One thing I need to work out is what I want to write on my magazine. I obviously need to advertise my film but I need to include other films and things as well.
I thought about what films were out recently as well as what Sight and Sound would advertise in the magazine. I decided on 'The Other Woman' by Natalie Portman and a new horror coming out called 'The Roommate'.
I'm going to write:

NATALIE PORTMAN INTERVIEWED ON NEW ROLE IN ‘THE OTHER WOMAN’
THE ROOMMATE REVIEW

Before:


To edit this image so that it is presentable for a magazine I first got rid of the blemishes on my actors face. Using the 'Patch Tool' and 'Spot Healing Brush' I got rid of any marks or spots on the face. I then used adjustment layers to change the tone of the image. I first used a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer to put more colour into the scene. I then applied an Exposure adjustment layer which brightened the image. I then used a Levels adjustment layer which made it darker with more contrast. I used a curves adjustment layer next and that again brighten the image keeping the contrast. Colour Balance is what i then used so that it again brought out more colour in the face and tree's. Finally I put a selective colour adjustment layer on my image which made my actors face look more life like and not as pale. This is the Result:

Decision on Magazine

I chose to use Sight and Sound magazine to publicise my film trailer.
I decided this because Sight & Sound magazine don't do massive blockbuster films but they do still do quite big things. I'm advertsing my film on the director and the actor's fame so it would be quite a big film. Sight and Sound recently published a magazine focused on 'The Black Swan' with Natalie Portman which is also a physchological thriller; this was another reason why i chose it, it advertsises my genre of film.
I like the layout of sight and sound magazine as well, it is simple and individual which is what I think my film is like.
