Mother's Make-up

I have made a make-up tutorial for the Mother whilst she is possessed. As I have said in the video, the make-up changes depending on the scene we are shooting, but this is the basic look that we use. Here are some images of the Mother with the possessed make-up:

Teddy Bear Transformation

In our trailer, the teddy bear starts to become an evil being, guiding the child towards the Mother. Therefore we needed to make the Teddy more menacing and noticeably evil.  We decided that we would put stitches in the teddy, revealing information about the witch. I found it hard to stitch into the teddy because the fabric was so thick, however I wasn't trying to be neat with the stitching so it didn't effect the way I created the words.

The A.L on the chest of teddy stands for the name Anne Leech, which is the woman we have based our witch character on. I also stitched in a demonic symbol to show the danger the teddy represents. On the teddy's head I created scratch marks to show that the witch was in control of him and she's the one that creates these marks. Although it is unclear in this image, on the forehead of the teddy I have stitched in the date 1645 because that it is the year Anne Leech was convicted of sorcery and killed.

Finished Film Magazine


This is my finished film magazine. Previously, the sell lines were white and grey, but I felt that I needed to integrate colours into these to gel the magazine together. Therefore I decided to add red, and create a pattern of colours. I feel this has made my magazine visually appealing and it fits with the overall magazine cover.
I have changed the pug to a specific interview with the actress in the main image so that she is identified on the page.
I am extremely happy at how my magazine has turned out. I was predominately influenced by the 2008 Empire issue, featuring Harry Potter. In particular the main image and sell lines.

Film Magazine Progress


After referring back to film magazines, I felt that I needed to include more sell lines onto my magazine. Therefore I moved the pug further up on the page and added more on the page. I included an asterix to link the sell lines together to show that they both relate to 2015.
I have added a barcode, issue date, issue number and price of the magazine onto the page, as they are important and conventional. I have also added to the splash 'The past will haunt you' as it links in with the trailer and describes what the film is about.

Film Magazine Process


I have addressed the issue of the splash on the page by making it bigger. I now feel that it looks strong on the page and it fits with the overall concept.
I have added a footer line to the magazine. I used a plus sign as it is visually appealing and after analysing magazines, I noticed that a lot of real texts use this, showing that it looks good on the page. I included the sell lines 'Free horror film poster inside' to appeal to the audience. The colour scheme of grey, red, white and black works really well on the page and creates a sinister atmosphere for the reader. The sell lines are all films that are coming out this year (2015), I ensured that I was including relevant information to make my magazine current.
I added a pug onto my magazine, the positioning doesn't obscure the view of the image and works well, integrating more red into the colour scheme.
