3rd Draft


Feed back:

  • "I like the hands in the back, it creates the feeling that she's going to be taken into the darkness, but I think theres to much writing on the left hand side"
  • "The reel is clever and it's a good way of showing whats in store, plus it ties nicely with the title"
  • "What's the film name? Because I can't see it"
  • "I agree with the fact that theres to much writing, but it's a good layout"

Starting to Edit- First Draft

From the two examples before, I have decided to take the one where it looks like the main character is reaching out to the audience almost like a plead for help as something lurks in the shadows. I believe this is more effective for my audience because it's almost like a motion shot, instead of the main actress posing and looking delicate.

Day 1- Taking & Preparing- Part 2


I will hopefully use 2 of these pictures, due to my lack of deciding what layout I want my magazine to under take at the moment, I decided to take different approaches by following my drafts below, with either a single person on the front cover or 2 people to create an action shot:




















I can't decide out of these two layouts, I like the idea of just one single actress on the screen because it will catch the audiences eye as it seems like the actress wants to tell you what is in her story, but then I have the second layout where I have too people which will be my main actress and the little ghost girl creeping up on her, I got the inspiration for this layout from Empire front cover that featured The Hobbit which is brilliant because it looks like it is in mid action of a real shot and can make it more eye-catching and interesting because it creates the impression of The Unknown as the main actress hasn't got as clue on what lurks behind her and works better with my audience then the single actress.

Day 1- Taking and Preparing- Part 1

It's the start of finally making my project. I am going to blog my things a little differently so I can explaining everything that is going on. These pictures are of my new mini actress getting ready for her photo-shoot as her role is of my troubled ghost girl.
My make-up artist is making my actress Abbey into a troubled little ghost girl who has been troubled in her journey of passing over.

As you can see my clothing for Abbey is all white to create a connotation of innocence, purity, light and goodness. However I want to play on this effect that it will have on the audience because the make-up and on how I am going to present Abbey will alter the first impression of innocence to darkness and pure evil.

 For my first photo-shoot this is a simple look with darkness under her eyes, creating the impression of torment, insomniac and troubled mind which works perfectly for the role I want Abbey to undertake in The Unidentified.

However next time when it comes to making Abbey into my little tormented Victoria I will have her a little more pale and more effects on her face to create full on bags under her eyes and find a way to make her look highly troubled and tormented, to mainly horrify my chosen audience. Plus if I play my cards right it will work perfectly when filming the trailer as the light will have many effects on her face and the expressions she will show.
