Construction of my horror poster…

Putting my first picture for the background layer of my horror poster

I’ve changed the effects of the pictures, so that is face is a bit more exposed

I added another layer and opened another picture, on top of the origional picture for my background. I turned the opacity down.

It looks like a moving image:

I added another picture on top of the other pictures used and also turned the opacity down as well, Jack looks like he has three heads and this effect often reflects what its like to have schizophrenia.

Colour balance was added

Here is the overall effect :

A final image was added and the opacity turned down again:

Colour balance changed too…

As I feel like this is not the best representation of my Lucid film, I have used Youtube to help me find different ways to edit the picture that me it look trippy and abstract

Here are two tutorials that I have followed and that have helped me a lot

Choosing the main picture for my horror magazine

In order to get a fair enough response and other opinion for which picture I should use for my magazine font cover, I have used survey monkey and created a poll including my 3 favorite pictures for the public to choose from…. here is the link to the survey:

Changes to my magazine

Planning my magazine publisher

The things that will dictate my magazine publisher:

• my target audience
• my gender
• my age
• and general fears that a lot of people share

All of these things will be taken into account when choosing the publisher of my magazine publisher

After researching different publishing agencies I am not entirely sure on who to choose to publish my magazine. I want to make sure that my magazine has the best possible coverage so that my whole age group of my target audience are able to have access to it. After looking at Future Plc, I found out that Future Plc publishes Total Film magazine and Bauer Media which publishes Empire magazine. Empire magazine is the main competition for my magazine because they are the biggest film magazine available in the UK and therefore if i went with Future Plc the competition against my own magazine would be extortionate and this would not be very good publicity for my own horror film. Therefore I have chosen a not so well known publishing agency: ‘Image Publishing’; http://www.imagine-publishing.co.uk/portfolio/magazines

As i’ve seen on the website they have different magazine categories and film is not one of them, therefore it will stand out. There is a wide-rang of magazines published by Image Publishing such as a game magazine, a photoshop magazine, and as my target audience is from 18-35 those who read the other published magazines would be intrigued to also read mine.
