Alien Poster comparison

In the first alien poster it uses a green and black with the green glowing which suggest extra terrestrial life forms hatching out of the large egg. The tagline in space no one can hear you scream targets the audience and interacts with them and tells them it is a sci-fi film.

This Alien poster  links with the first one using the same colour scheme, which shows the audience it is a sci-fi film. They have chosen a different font and for the i in Alien they have chosen a green beam and have not gone for such a simple poster.

This is the first film produced by James Cameron.You can tell the change with the colour scheme to blue and has included the characters on the front (hero) instead of the Aliens (villain) which shows the difference he wants to make with the franchise, but hasn't lost the Alien completely front the front with the eggs still there

This poster shows that James Cameron is taking the Alien franchise into his own by changing up the poster. He has used this Alien as the hatched egg showing its new born , this also indicates this is the last Alien movie as it has changed so much from the original poster which they have based all the others around 

Empire magazine covers

 

This front cover shows the main character 'Wolverine' who is the main focus of this issue. He is in the middle of the front cover and is the largest item on the front cover showing the audience what the focus of this empire magazine is. The second largest is the main title 'Empire' with its colour differing from the other titles making it stand out more and showing that is it Empire magazine title. The next boldest font that stands out is 'Review of the year' telling the audience that is it the best review of the year grabbing their interest to read it, this is also in a larger and bolder font than the other titles. The other featured films of a similar genre 'the dark knight' will attract other audience to read the magazine. This magazine cover is very interactive with the audience with a 3D like image of wolverine, also 'star wars: the musical?' making the audience think by asking them a question.The tagline ' the worlds biggest movie magazine' tells the reader they are one of the best. the world exclusive of x-men origins will grab the reader as it is a 'world exclusive' which ill intrig the audience and make them want to see more about this world exclusive.With other films such as ghostbusters 3, public enemies, gran torino and the wrestler all with less focus and with small harder to see fonts makes the audience less attarcted to reading about those films and focusing on wolverine and the world exclusive.

This cover of Empire magazines main focus is on harry potter 6 as a big picture of harry central show the audience that he is the main focus and that harry has cuts and cracked glasses showing he might have got into a battle. Right next to harry potter is a little title 'BLOODY HELL! Harry comes out fighting' telling the audience that harry will be having a fight on his hands and 'comes out fighting'. 'Massive Preview Special!' Will attract the audience of getting a sneak peak inot many other films below that it says '45 new movies you need to know about right now!' then listed below that 'Harry potter 6 , Wolverine , Star trek , The Wolfman , Green Zone , Quantum Of Solace, Watchmen and many more!'. These titles will grab the audience with those chosen films in the list as main attractions with harry potter 6 in different font showing the audience again that harry potter will be the main focus of this empire magazine issue. The picture below this is of 3 main characters from the films listed above with James bond , Wolverine and a girl front watchmen. There is then a list of 3 films at the bottom Terminator 4 / Mulder & scully / Tropic Thunder, although these arent the main focus they stand out separated from the other films listed. The only problem with this is the yellow font of Mulder & scully which isnt very visible. The tagline ' the worlds biggest movie magazine' tells the reader they are one of the best that will attract the audience to this magazine.

 

This cover shows the main focus is on Captain Jack and his ' all new crew'. The main image is Captain Jack Sparrow with a gun and with all his gear showing that he is a pirate and there will be action as you can see 1 gun in hid hand and another in the front off his pouch. 'Empire' is in large font showing the audience that that titles is different from the other and the magazine name. This cover is very vibrant and will stand out compared to the conventional darker magazine cover. On the left it shows other large actors such a Matt Damon and Christian bale, the taglines underneath Matt Damon goes dark! and Christian Bale lightens up! showing the contrast of acting roles. Next to Captain Jack it says Essential 2011 Preview which will attract the audience because the magazine is telling people that it is essential to them. Also above the Empire title it says ' movies' biggest year ever' telling the audience this year is big for movies this will attract people to buy the magazine wanting to know why 2011 will be so big for movies. Down the right side is lists films featuring in the magazine and at the end states ' An 102 more'. The colour scheme of yellow and white for the bottom half and yellow and black for the bottom half will attract the audience because it stands out.

Storyboard animatic/ analysed

The first couple of shots will be title 1 which is our own company graveyard productions and the second will be a shot saying who the film is directed by ( me and will). the next shot is an over the shoulder shot of the new reporter watching the tele for any leads into a new story that could get him noticed. it then slowly zooms into the tv showing the weather report which leads to the story of the slenderman which he decides is the news story to get him noticed. It then fades to black with the next shot coming up of the new reporter getting ready to go out and find out more about these myterious dissappearances , in this shot we recoreded it through a window to give the audience a feel of being the person watching in on his life aka the slenderman. Its the jump cuts to the next shot of the new reporter putting on his shoes with the door still in shot giving the audience the feel that the slenderman is the one watching him which is then shown again in the next shot where the news reporter looks up as he hears something then the door shutting leaving the enigma that the slenderman doesnt want to get caught but is keeping a close eye on him.

In the next scene the news reporter goes to interview a woman who might know some information about the slenderman myteries but what he doesnt know is the slenderman is still watching. In this angled shot of the woman and child , the door then shuts leaving the child to play outside by himselfin the quiet neighbourhood. It then fades to black then zooms in on the child playing then cuts to black and zooms in on the kid playing again like something is going to happen to him , the child looks up and drops his toy which givesthe enigma to the audience was it the slenderman?

The next sequence  is the police thinking that the new reporter is the slenderman as he has been at most of the crime scenes just before the dissappearances. This is a long shot with the 3 characters being shown at a slight angle.which the shows the new reporter running away as he believes he is onto something really big breaking the myth forever and releasing its dark secrets. There is then a chase scene leading the 3 men into the woods and then in the backgroud of this medium shot the auidience can see the slenderman. This then jump cuts to a close up of the slenderman which fades to the title ' Faded Delusion'.

This trailer would attarct our target audience because i feel that the trailer gives enough tension and enigmas to attract the right audience with the myth of the slenderman creeping in our trailer a few times.
