Double Page Spread

Initially I started writing out the article, I started by describing the plot of the film, so that this introduces the film to the audience/reader. I then described other critical views of our film. Within the article I described and explained all the main symbolic scenes and analysed the film. Also I wrote the overall opinion of  “the writer” after writing this I realised that it would be good to have some opinions from “the readers” and added them to the page.

I then added a title in the font called destrukt. I felt this was a unusual style of font which would fit with the unusual style of our film. I used century gothic font for the subheadings and the article, this font is professional in style and clear to read for the reader.

I added some star ratings from “the writer” and “the reader” to make the page look more professional and also gives the page a little colour.

Here I have added Rebecca’s poster.

I have added a box which talks about the magazines website and also what “the writer” will be reviewing next week for his article.

I then took some screen shots from the film and added to the page.

After sitting back and talking to Rebecca we felt the page was missing something. Rebecca then suggested we could add a picture behind the text faintly. She cut out some leaves from the poster and added to the page. 

I then played around with the screen shots, by moving the angle of them and also adding a white border to make them almost look like photos.

Overall I am happy with the article and appreciate Rebecca’s input.

Decay Poem - Sound

Decay poem

The house stands with a friend

This is the beginning but will be the end

The life survives by the man

But he will wish he could have ran

He stumbles out the door

He will be questioned by the law

His expression is somewhat bored

He will one day be judged by the lord

The car he now posses' and drives

Will now be a weapon to take lives

The life drains from her soul

The meeting will take a large toll

His eye are fixed on the concrete

Her life is falling to her feet

The petals fall and blow in the airstream

And disappear with girl and dream

The warning is in the spades

Holding on as she fades

As the petals wilt and wane

So will she feel their pain

Traveling at a high speed

It will starve rather than feed

As there bodies collide

The act of violence cannot be denied

 Her body takes to the air

All he can do is sit and stare

The twisted body lay

The man left with nothing to say

Car and girl disappear

Looking up, heaven is near

Looking at his blood stained hands

She still lays where she lands

One crawl’s and the other creeps

Whilst the blood still seeps

Preparing for the afterlife beyond this ground

All she needs, she has found

Picking the fruit of healing

She regains all her feeling

Taking just one bite

She no longer needs to fight

She finds her heart, still alive

Her emotions and soul seem to survive

The candle is lit and fills the air with hope

The warmth holds her and helps her cope

The dead will be laid to rest

This will be an emotional test

The girl mourns his passing away

But the girl will have her day

She places flowers on his frame

Waiting until death came 

The poem will be read and played over the film

Final Poster

Poster Developments - final

This is the final poster that I have created. I had to re-do the last on because the images were not mine and I felt that there were a few elements that needed changing. I have used a very similar method, using the 'spotlight' background with leaves around the outside. I thought this reflected the woodland shots from out short film and primarily the idea of death and decay. The falling leaf in the bottom left corner of the poster also connotes falling or loss.

  I then added the text which I kept it simple so more attention is drawn towards the imagery. The font is '((((o)))) Brush' and looks as if someone has written the words in chalk, giving a raw, textured effect. I used this font for the rating names and also for the sub-heading which I added on later.

  I used a great font for the credits called 'Universal Accreditation' which makes the text look really realistic and effective on this poster. I placed both the credits and ratings at the top of the page and also centred to use the limited space to it's advantage. 

  Finally, I made the centre text black as I thought it made it much more eye-catching than it was in white. I decided to add more leaves to fill out the space a little more and added shading to them, adding a dramatic feel to the poster as a whole.

Rough Double Page Spread Plan

This is a rough guide to how our article will include be set out. it will include a lot of screen grabs of the finish film and the poster we are designing. Another feature we want to is a section for the readers to have there opinion, this will include a picture of them, their star rating and their review.
