Our Final Film. Tracing Steps

Our commentary

Our final magazine cover...with a small addition

This version is very very similar to the original one we posted, however, whilst editing this cover, we had difficulty in applying a barcode to the cover which is part of the conventional style of a magazine cover. So to make this happen we transferred the picture from the Mac onto the PC where we found it easier to copy and paste a barcode picture onto the front cover. It might be small and slightly pedantic to do this, but we want it to be perfect.

Our magazine final cover

This is our magazine cover

Our inspiration

This magasine cover is part of our inspiration.
It is the front cover from Empire magazine from November 2008. It is a clear shot of the main character from The Godfather and so is a non-conventional front cover of a magazine. It is in black and white with a fairly unhappy man on the front cover; The whole cover is the title 'EMPIRE', the picture of him and a slogan on the bottom 'The Godfather, The Greatest Movie Of All Time'. A typical magazine cover has a lot more information about the magazine to advertise and persuade their customers to buy it. We like the Black and white style on this though. So are thinking more towards the black and white picture

Shots possible for magazine subsidary task.

It is between these two pictures one being in black and white, and the other in fully saturated colour :)
