Advertising Methods

Using Photoshop we were able to create a number of different advertisements to promote our film. including a bus poster, a youtube advert and for the magazine a promotion on the website. 

When it came to making the Youtube advert we print screened the youtube home page, and used the top advert as a template to create our film advertisment. we then seperated the focal image from our film poster and used this as the left-hand smaller image, we then on the right hand side eddited in the starring roles, the film title 'Intimate' and the phrase 'coming soon' to hold the audience in suspence. we also eddited in the Youtube logo inthe bottom right hand corner of the left hand image. we as a group were very please with the way this turned out, and thinked it looked ver genuine.

We used the Interview magazine homepage to advertise our version of the Interview Magazine, this was a very simpled edit as it simply involved print screening the interview home page and then using photoshop to copy and paste our version of the publication, making the image smaller and fitting it in the box for the 'currrnt issue'.

Film Magazine

After Creating our Film Poster we then worked on our Film Magazine which we chose as Interview' to create the magazine we first took the photograph on a sunny day of the female lead. The model wore a white dress and bright sixties style makeup to link back to the Intimate magazines routes of Andy Warhols PopArt.The photograph was then edited in photoshop by adjusting contrast and brightness levels, alternative lighting levels. hue and saturation and increasing the blues and greens of the image, the photograph was cropped into a correct front cover shape and the lip colour was cut out using the magic wand tool and once again adjusted contrast. After we had completed editing the photograph we then discussed title graphics. We found an image of the interview logo on google and opened the image on a photoshop document we then picked an orange colour similar to the lipstick worn by the model and used this as the title colour by adding an artistic filter to make the image appear like plastic wrap we coppied and pasted the title ontop of the focal image.finally using powerpoint we created subtitles of articles in that issue of the magazine including a review of 'Intimate' and a reference to the film being compared to classic; Titanic. We added the date of issue and unlike other magazine publications did not use a barcode or price of the magazine as this would be printed on the back of the publication. 

Film Poster

When it came to creating a film poster for our film project we first had to get the starring roles (Jim Taylor and Georgia White) present at a location suitable for a romantic movie poster this image was taken on New Years Eve in London Covent Gardens when I was with the couple to see New Years in. To fit in with the title of 'Intimate' we positioned the stars in an intimate embrace. This worked really well for the film poster because of the pun of the title. 

                 

When it came to editing the photo we used adobe photoshop and began by increasing the contrast of the photo and cropping the image to the correct movie poster shape. We then added a filter of a grain to make the photo less sharp and make it look like its a personal photograph on a disposable camera- suggesting the couple don't have much time together.

After getting the image to look how we wanted we started work on the graphics of the title of the film having previous ideas we changed the font to a typewriter sort, and added gripped hands around the middle T and I suggesting hands around prison bars emphasising the pun of the title of 'intimate' and 'in-mate'. After finishing editing the title we created a new layer and added the title on top of the image discussing whether to put the title on the top of the poster or at the bottom.

We then added text to the photoshop document and adding the names of the starring roles of the film in corresponding places, and fiddle with the colour and fonts. 

finally we created our billing block on a powerpoint document changing and altering font sizes and widths to make the block appear genuine we then coppied and pasted the block onto the poster and located it at the top of the image.

Out-Takes

These are a few of the shots we decided not to use for our 'Interview' magazine front cover. When I took these photographs I experimented with all sorts of different angles and expressions, I wanted to create a kind of 60s vibe to the photos inspired by the background of the Intervieww publication being fropm Andy Wrhol. When it came to edditing the final piece we wanted to make it as 'pop art' inspired as possible for a modern magazine.
