Font research and Anomatic

These fonts are for the title of our film.
Font number 1:
We think it looks too plain, and does not give our desired effect.
Font number 2:
This font looks like a child has wrote it, which does not have any link to our film. As there would be not children in our filme.
Font number 3:
We like this font as it captures the right feeling for our title.
Font number 4:
We also like this font, as it looks like the title for a horror movie, which is what we want.
Font number 5:
We do not like this font, as it looks too medievil which is not the effect we want.









This is our anamatic. To make this, we drew our our storyboards and then filmed them with a flip camera and uploaded them onto Pinacle. In Pinacle, we edited the clips to make a short film, of which we hope of teaser trailer will come out like. In the spaces of 'institution' and 'production' we will put the actual names of them, but for the moment we have not decided what names to use. On the clips with the girl, she will be talking, about her memory, as the camera slowly zooms onto her face. The black boxes will have the girl screaming over the top, but for only a few seconds. The girl is crying through the film, which is shown through the running mascara that we will put on her, and red eyes. the clips with 'institution' 'production' and the film title, have black around the edges, as we are going to use a spotlight effect in Photoshop.
We have forgotten to place the website of the film, on the bottom of the last clip. this will be http://www.stalked2011.com/. In this clip we had drawn 2010, but the film will be coming out in 2011 instead.

First Draft: Magazine cover


This is our fist draft of our front cover of a film magazine. We have used our main charcter as the front cover's main image. She is in the clothing that she is going to wear in our teaser trailer as this will allow viewers of the teaser trailer to recognise her and maybe buy the magzine and vice versa. In the draft she is standing in an upright posture, but when we take the picture, we are going to experiment with this, and decide which posture will make her look vulnerable. This is also the same for her costume. We are going to try different types of clothing to see which one gives us the effect we are after. She also has a sotlight over her, which is also bing used in our teaser trailer. This makes her the main image on th cover, and dfra viewers to see her first. We used 'Empire' as our magazine name, but we may decide to change it later in the production. We have made it a glowing white, as this is the colour of our film title. We put all the typical conventions of an 'Empire' magazine on our front cover e.g. the date of issue, bar code, price, and magazine number. All around the edge, we have advertised the articles that appear within the magazine, such as 'Top 2010 films' and 'exclusive interviews with the stars from Unkown'. To advertise that our film has an article in the magazne, we have put 'ever had the feeling your being STALKED' next the main image with 'STALKED' over the image. For promotion reasons, we put 'FREE love tunnel poster' in a banner on the bottom of the page, with a small picture of the poster. This wil help to attract people to buy the magazine.
