My prelim mag cover


I chose this layout and picture for my magazine beause i think it will appeal to the target audience i am aiming at. The age range i want to appeal to is teenagers/Low to mid twenties. I think that this age range are the most fasshion current there is, also they have the most taste and interest in new styles and music. I chose the model in the picture because i think he is a good replicant of my target audience, with a retro hair style and abstract clothing. Also, i chose to picture him against a dark, shadowed wall because it loks quite 'street' and modern. It doesn't show that the person is hiding away, instead it respresents youth and gives them a sort of swagger and confidence, looking threatening.

Film openeings and trailers that inspire my work.

These openings and trailers are not only inspirational to me but i can take genres and similar techniques out of them to use in my filming.
Bruce Almighty:

I chose this film as it is one of my favourite comedic dramas, it stars one of my favourite actors, and the editing and special effects in the film are used often and very effectively. It is unigue in the group of films i have chosen.
The Firm:

This film is based around real life happenings, and represents a certain group of people in England. Also, the fact that it is an English filmed and produced film makes it easier to refer to and analyse. It is a thrilling drama.
Bourne Identity:

I chose this film because it is a contrast to the others, an actioned packed thriller involving shoot outs, close escapes and explosive scenes that excite and draw in audiences. It is one of my favourite action films that is easy to refer to and is possibly an option to use in my final film.
The Longest Yard:

This film is an underdog story, an action packed sports film, with running and sports action shots captured throughout that display high level of skills and techniques to film movement.
