Finished Film Magazine Cover

Below is my final film magazine cover that I have created as part of my Ancillary Tasks. I created a fictitious title called ArtHouse Indie promoitng the widely under reported genre of Social Realism. I am pleased with how the overall product looks and feels both as an individual piece but also how it appears to reflect and effectively complements the tone of my other two tasks of a film poster and film trailer. I believe that this has been able to be achieved through the implementation of consistent colours throughout the use of all three tasks such as the use of the green coloured text that is used effectively in all of the tasks. This was on account of the fact that the colour green is widely connoted as promoting health and wellbeing, as our film is a direct juxtaposition to positive health, as it is focussing on recreational drug use and the abuse that is subsequently caused by it.  This was done intentionally to create associated feelings within the audience of synonymity with our film when they see the colour green. Furthermore, this supports further my research into marketing consistencies of existing titles where I found that similarities between promotional materials led to the target demographic drawing connections to the film that the materials were promoting. This is a similar effect we were aiming to replicate within our own work.  I hope that the film magazine is effective in promoting the film product in conjunction with the film trailer and film poster. I provide a greater level of detail in exploring my creative decisions behind the text in Evaluation Activities 1 and 2.
