Examples of Draft Print Tasks

Film Poster Draft

The poster of our film will have an image of one of the locations of where the trailer will be filmed at. And above it will be another image of two eyes. They represent the fact that the girl in the big city of London is on her own and is being watched by people all the time. We think that the eyes will add mystery to the poster and that is what we want.We have mostly used dark colours such as red, black and blue this is to represent the mysteriousness of the film. The brand identity of the poster will be clean-cut,simple and easy to look at and understand. Even though the eyes will be there to symbolise something, it still won't be something messy and crowded by many items being in the mise-en-scene.


The conventions that we will be adhering to in the poster are things such as the title of the film placed at the bottom of the poster with the date of release under the title. As the slogan exemplifies what happens in the film, placing it at the top is like giving them an idea of what happens in the film and then they move down to look at the image in the poster itself.


After analysing a couple of thriller posters, we realised that the first draft of our poster did not follow the conventions of a film poster as it only had an image and the title of the film. So in our final draft we added The release date of the film as well as a website and a tagline for the film. This made it look more professional as now it could fit in with other real film posters. We decided to put 3 poster campaigns that all looks different and are set in different iconic London locations.



Soap Poster Draft

We decided to include all the characters in this poster to get the audience familiar with them all and to give them all a chance to connect better with our target audience. We also chose to keep all the storylines separate and not to mix up the characters so as to help the audience get a better understanding of who is who and what is going on. We will use similar colours in the magazine and the poster to keep the brand identity and make it bright and vibrant to draw the audience in



Film Magazine Draft



Here we have a draft version of the film review article, we have researched into other types of film magazines such as Total Film, Empire, and Screen magazine. This had inspired us and gave us ideas on what to include in our magazine in order to follow up the convention of a magazine article. We have included the headline in our magazine article as it is crucial in order to catch the attention of our target audience, we've also included large picture throughout the magazine article in order to create a strong sense of brand identity which is kept throughout the film and poster. Brand identity helps our target audience to perceive our brand, which allows us to market our brand more successfully.

We have clearly followed common convention rules throughout our magazine article, whilst also successfully delivering a strong sense of brand identity through the choice of colour, font, images and tone of writing. 
 
 
Soap Magazine Draft 

  

This is our draft for our magazine. It will be dominated by a the main image of Russell and Kate in the foreground and a photo of Adel in the background showing the three main characters in our soap, using direct address to attract the audience and connect with their emotions. Our main cover line will be named 'Love Triangle' as these three characters are in a difficult love situation. However below this we have a rhetorical question stating 'Who Will Russell choose?' this creates suspence to the audience as seen from the photograph their are two girls beside him. Additionally we will have other cover lines from popular soaps below and these will have boxes around separating each soap. Moreover there is a caption saying '7 pages of soap' in a flash, used as a lure. This is eye-catching and attracts our target audience, along with the main lure which is the price. This is a common convention of TV listings magazines and as our magazine will cost 'ONLY 40p', this should attract our audience as it will be suitably cheap!
