Magazine Assignment Unit 14

Magazine Assignment Evaluation

Before I began to create my magazine I put plenty of research into it; this varied from looking at other magazines and taking inspiration from them, also I began looking at the layout and designs for magazines in that genre so I could get a general scheme for my own magazine. Some of the magazines I exampled included: Total film magazine, Empire magazine and more. These magazines are some of the best in that genre; so taking inspiration from them is a good choice as they are highly rated by the public.
When I began the production of my magazine I created a pitch which is also present on the blog; the pitch included: magazine names, typography, fonts, and more. I would also state that I would follow the codes and conventions of a typical magazine in that genre.
I started by making a front cover for my magazine, it includes a masthead, main image and sub headings, I will include a picture of the front cover so it is visible in the blog. There were some complications as I had some previous attempts at making the front covers, some of these had minor details on that didn't make it to my standard. Also I took some secondary sources from google for my final magazine, this could cause some problems as I could get a copyright strike from using other images.
Secondly, I created a double page spread for my magazine. this included a fictional article of a new horror film that was coming out. The article included some behind the scenes facts, cast interviews and a brief synopsis to the movie. I had images of myself included on the page and some other images that I took off Google; again I could be served a copyright strike for using other images.

Unit 10 - Fictional Film Codes and Conventions

The two genres I have chosen for this assignment are Action and Horror. I feel that the choices I have made are suitable as they both feature iconography of the typical film in that genre. My chosen films for the genres are; Spectre and Kingsman: The Secret Service for the action movies; and the horror movies I have chosen are The Conjuring and IT, I believe that the choices I have made are necessary as they all feature typical codes and conventions of their genre. A theorist known as Steve Neale suggested that genre is made up of repetition and difference, as the viewers we can expect familiar sequences in the movies. Neale said that people are satisfied with repetition in film genres, the audience want to see similar codes and conventions within the movie to make it that recognizable genre. Neale’s idea of repetition can be seen in the two movies; Spectre and Kingsman: The Secret Service, the two both feature and share similarities with the action genre. Action films usually...

Film Evaluation

Genre: The genre for my film will be a thriller, i have chosen thriller as i enjoy the genre and have an understanding of the genre. i will be able to focus on the codes and conventions of this genre making my movie up to a quality standard. Costume: The costume for the film hasn't been to focused on as the costumes i wanted the characters to wear is what my actors would usually wear on a daily basis, this saved a lot of time during production as i didn't have to get the actors to go out and find the specific clothes.
