Final Magazine Front Cover.
Up above is a photographic image which visually shows our film magazine front cover design.This was part of our promotional package to promote and advertise our teaser trailer production of TAKEN.
Magazine Front Cover Draft.
Above is the first magazine front cover that we created. After creating this magazine front cover we looked more into the research of horror film magazine front covers and realised that our magazine wasn't up to the standard of a professional magazine front cover, so we knew we had to make some changes.This magazine was purposely created as a main product for our promotional package of our teaser trailer film production TAKEN.
Final Poster.
After analysing our draft poster, we re-evaluated it and this is the Final Poster. This poster was purposely created for our promotional package to promote our teaser production of TAKEN.
Poster draft.
This is the first poster that we made, then it gradually evolved into the final poster. We made this poster and then research more into posters to see whether it followed the conventions or not; we realised that it had some conventions but didn't contain some of the most important ones.

Teaser Trailer Research.
Paranormal Activity uses the typical horror movie conventions. It follows off from the previous film and shows what happened before and what is going to happen next. However it has one thing that is different. The victim this time is not a female, the ''bad guy'' is female; although some may argue that she is also the victim as she is possessed.
Saw 3D is the final film after a 6 film sequence; they use typical conventions of a teaser trailer in this trailer. The trailer consists of fades. Shots tend to fade in and out often. It has a typical voice over and text. This trailer doesn't reveal too much but it also doesn't show too little.
A clear convention that seems to come up in most if not all teaser trailers is quick cuts because it adds intensity. This teaser trailer for mirrors follows this convention. It has quick cuts but also uses fades in-between some of the shots. Any convention that it follows is the voice over; this trailer has that typical male scary voice over that gets their audience jumping. The use of the little boy saying 'don't be scared mommy, he just wants to come play with us' makes the trailer scarier than other part because if you listen closely you can hear an demonic voice also saying it; they have used this to show contrast between innocence and evil.
Thirteen ghosts also uses a voice over but that only comes in at the end, the rest of the trailer has dialouge from the actually film, this is good because it feels like you are actually watching the film and then when the trailer ends it make you definantly want to go and watch the film. The shots in this trailer are very conventional, they are dark and short. The editor has made sure that he only included the ain parts that get the audience wanting more.
