Completed Film Website

Access the film's promotional website by clicking here.

Here is a link to my completed promotional film website. It is a very basic website, including teaser images, information on the forthcoming film, and the teaser trailer itself. I took into account the research I had conducted previous to creating the website. Although I could not match the standard these film websites have set, I have included some of the positive conventions I discovered; the website is consistent with the style of the film, using the same font for the title as seen in the teaser trailer, and the same simple, bold colours as used in the trailer. On each page is an excellent image representing moments from the teaser trailer of the film, and reinforcing the genre of the production. I also included institutional information at the bottom of the page, including the company credits and cast. As well as this, I have a countdown timer to the release date of the production to increase the excitement for the film. This website, although very basic, serves its purpose to inform and excite the audience about 'Face The Truth'.

Completed Magazine Cover

Here is the completed magazine front cover, promoting my new fictional film, 'Face The Truth'. I decided to use Empire as the magazine to promote my new film through, as it is the most popular and trusted film magazine on the market. As I was conducting my secondary research into film magazine front covers, I discovered the necessary conventions of a cover, and the conventions the best covers use. These included themed covers, where colours reflect the main feature, a character or actor is shown as the main image, and regular conventions such as puffs and taglines are also included, but reflect the main feature. In my own cover, I have included a picture of the main female protagonist - as recognisable from the teaser trailer - as the main image for the background, with her body layered on top of the magazine's title, while keeping all the colours consistant throughout. I have also included all the conventions used on traditional covers of Empire magazine, such as the official Empire logo, the tagline, the issue information, and further information to attract and inform readers such as the section at the bottom of the page promoting other films.
