This is a flat plan for our magazine front cover. I decided to go with a bold sans serif masthead as we wanted to make it similar to other big film magazines like 'empire' and 'total film' I used a mid two shot for the cover, to emphasise both people featured but more so the female who will be shown as the films 'Big Star' . We chose to make it more of a 'Behind the scenes/ with the cast of' than just focusing on the film. This way the audience will feel like they are getting a exclusive look at a new high budget film and want to buy the product more. Using the 'stars' will also have a bigger audience draw. Although we will use the actors as a draw, the image will most likely be character driven to give the effect of the film and the feature on it. 
After looking at the posters for things such as scream and I know what you did last summer. We decided to make the posters character driven, following professional practices and making a series of posters that in our case have one featuring the "clown" killer. Another featuring the female lead, the films biggest 'star'. Then a poster of the 4 main characters in the film. It has all the features of professional movie posters such as the tag lines etc. For the background we chose to have the woods where some of the film takes place as this is a eerie location and fits in with the film genre. We chose to use dark red as it had connotations of blood.
