Introduction to Magzine and Poster Production

The second part of our coursework consists of the group individually making a film poster and magazine front cover in relation to our films we've produced. In order for both of these pieces of work to be produced in the highest possible standard, I've undergone market research and identified the codes and conventions of both film magazines and film posters. I felt that this market research would be both essential and beneficial towards the production of my magazine cover and poster, as i'd be able identify the typical conventions used in todays market and apply them to my products. In order to keep a sense of originality to my products, i've taken my own pictures, thus ruling out issues such as copyright. The software I'm going to use to manipulate my images is Photoshop CS5, so that my finished product can be of the highest possible standard.
