comparisions

I looked at different posters and magazine covers to look at how the pictures that create a link between the two different media platforms. The reason that I looked at these two areas is because these are the two auxiliary tasks that I am doing to go along side my film trailer to advertise my film. The two different media platforms are magazine and a film poster. I looked at a magazine and poster from the film Willy Wonka, the magazine was from the magazine company 'total film' and i got the poster from the internet. 

Willy Wonka Magazine Cover

Willy Wonka Poster

The poster image focus' on the main character 'Willy Wonka' a relatable character for most people also because the film had been out before people will be able to make connections with the different characters and the main character and know a bit about the storyline is about. Also the main character 'Johnny Deep' so this makes people want to go and see the film. The difference with the magazine compared to the poster is that the magazine front page is trying to get a audience to read further to find out about something where as a poster is trying to give us a insight into the film and showing us the characters that are involved.  

I like the way that on the poster its shows both of the main characters 'Willy Wonka' and 'Charlie' it also shows the other kids that are involved in the film also shows the different natures of the children on the film poster. The poster tells a story to the audience what the film is about I also like that along with the main image creating the picture, the title of the film stands out to the audience 'Charlie and the chocolate factory' also the name of the film gives away a bit about what happens in the film. 

By looking at different posters and magazines it helped me with planning the way that I wanted to make my my magazine and my poster images different to each other. It made me think about ideas for my own magazine and what kind of images that I want to take to put onto my front cover. 

Other media platforms

I looked at magazines from other media platforms to see what kind of images they use on the front of their magazines. I collected a magazine from blockbuster and it is a game magazine. I choose to look at this magazine for other media platforms because I found that film magazines and the gaming magazine use the same type of institutions. I looked at the magazine front cover and the poster that was also shown on the back of the gaming magazine, this helped me when thinking about taking images for my film magazine. I think it has helped me looking at different media platforms.
