Magazine features: Celebrity film reel

For the magazine cover, I created a feature for an 'Interview Special' article with well known celebrities. I took images of Daniel Craig, Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie and merged the images to an image of a hard film reel. This is the finished result:

Storyline update

We have changed the storyline of both the whole film and trailer, with Sarah finding the letters by chance because she decides to investigate her ancestor's past and about a fire which destroyed their home. Now that the house has been restored she decides to go visit the house, finding the letters and revealing the relationship her Great-great grandmother had with a nobleman and a lowly servant and also that the fire possibly wasn't an accident after all, but the result of jealousy from the servant.

Voice overs

After showing our class our trailer so far and receiving feed back, we have decided to add a voice over to aid the understanding of not only what is happening in the trailer but also what will happen in the film.
We have two voice overs, one for Frances and one for Sarah.
Frances' voice over plays during the scenes of her writing a letter and flirting with the two men. Her voice over is supposed to be a section from one of the letters she has written professing how she is "torn" between the two men and of how "duty compels me to accept Richard's (the nobleman) offer of marriage" but admitting she will still love William (the servant).

The second voiceover; Sarah's, consists of her making the decision to research her ancestors and her finding of the letters.

Magazine update

I have decided to call my magazine 'Moving pictures' because I thought it was an interesting name and suggests age and experience of the magazine because of it's link to the colloquial name for film when filming first began and synergy with The Moving Picture Company, (http://www.moving-picture.com/), a company which aims to "deliver world-class post-production and VFX for the film, advertising, digital and television industries. We work out of offices in London’s Soho, Santa Monica in California, Yaletown in Vancouver, Bangalore in India and New York, all centrally located, networked and with a dedicated digital infrastructure." (Taken from the website).
For the text on my magazine cover I used Da font website (http://www.dafont.com/) to select interesting font to use.
For the title I used a font called 'Dimitri' (http://www.dafont.com/dimitri.font)
and coloured it red; which appears to be typical of most entertainment magazines, and created this:

But in red with the black outline.
For the feature text I used a font called JD Eugenia (http://www.dafont.com/jd-eugenia.font)
