Research and Planning: My magazine today

Today I made some more changes to my movie magazine and I am rather happy with the progress that I have made. The main image still needs to be uploaded so that my magazine will be almost complete.

Research and Planning: Zombie film poster inspiration

I have been looking at zombie hunter movie posters on Google images to get an idea of what layouts other people have used when creating their own work. By doing this I should get an idea of how I want my poster to look to an audience. I already have a few vague ideas but this could help focus them.


The poster for this Japanese film gave me the idea that I would quite like to have some zombies in the background of my poster to highlight the action/fighting aspect I want to promote. 


I will not make my poster like this one (especially with the strippers) This is far too sexualised and although there will be some of this in my trailer/poster/magazine cover it is not purely what I want to aim for.


I like the idea of the background on this poster. I think it may be a good idea to take a picture of 'Alexis' with some weapons in a seemingly abandoned/ derelict backdrop. 

Research and Planning: Photo's for my magazine/poster

Today I went to one of my previous filming locations with my sister to take some photographs which could be used for my poster or magazine. We may use a different location to take further pictures if these are not suitable for my work. We began taking the pictures at around 2:30pm and had to stop as it was beginning to get too dark for the images to look suitable for a magazine cover. I will use this knowledge in future and make sure that I set off to start taking my pictures earlier.
