This magazine flat plan illustrates not only the conventions of a poster but also the elements that we will include in our own magazine.
Conventional elements :
Main image
Mast head
Bar code
Plugs
Slogans
Colour scheme
Date
Price
Website
Cover line/tagline
Feature article
Variety of fonts
The colour scheme for our magazine links with the poster as well, as we have chose to use the colours; white, black and red. These are typical colours associated with the horror genre, and connote danger. These colours are stereotypically identified on the traditional vampire, and therefore can closely be linked to the horror genre as vampires have a love for blood and gore and have played an iconic role in the support for the genre itself. Our trailer has elements of a Slasher film which is a sub genre of Horror, because it includes blood and gore as it does involve weapons and there is a focus on blood. This is why we chose to use the colour red on our masthead as it allows the audience to identify that this is a horror magazine.
Empire magazine was our chosen magazine layout , as this magazine sells the largest amount of film magazines in the UK. The magazine doesn't specifically sell magazines of the Horror genre however I have identified they do incorporate horror icons and signature villains from films.
We have placed the magazine mast head at the top of the magazine cover, as this is where it is conventionally placed. The font colours will vary between red, black and white. So that the magazine cover links with the poster, the most important information will be in red.
Bar codes are a convention of the magazine as these are scanned in stores that the magazine will be purchased in.
The tagline is included on both magazine and poster, as this ensures they are linked. Another way we showed the link between the poster and the magazine was to include the tagline of the film. Because we used the same character on both we decided it would be good way to ensure people could identify the character and that the poster and magazine were linked to ‘The chain’ and it’s new release.
The importance of the colour scheme is a recognisable style, that we will use throughout all of our products. A convention of magazine covers is a medium shot image with a strong stare down the camera lens. So we intend to include an image with these specific elements for our magazine.
