Research and Planning - Sight and sound magazine(British)
Sight and sound is a British magazine, funded by the BFI (British Film Institution). This would be a relevant magazine to do a front cover for our film, as we are aiming to produce a low budget British drama. Therefore we will also be pitching our film to our target audience and would get an honest review.
Research and Planning - Total Film Magazine
Total Films front covers are similar to Empire's, in the way that they regularly keep a template in which they edit every month. Also in a similar fashion to Empire, Total Film change there title in order to continue a theme from the film being advertised. On the other hand, they don't tend to be as intricate as Empire's, tending to only change the colour of the title in order to make it more visible. The only example of a theme is the Terminator with the red title and other red text at the bottom of the page.

Research and Planning - Empire Magazine
Empire magazine publishes a magazine each month. It often has a standard template in which they use. However it is not uncommon for them to change it in order to match the colour scheme also making the front cover more effective. For example in the mood board below the magazines front cover edition of The Dark Knight.
Research and Planning - Film magazine research.
- I have looked into film magazines through the use of google, and discovered that there is very few British magazines which focus on niche market films, such as our own. However, i did find that there is a British magazine which is made by the BFI (British Film Institution) called Sight and sound.
- On the other hand there is also international film magazines. With the worlds leading magazine being Empire.
- Another example would be the magazine Total Film. They are also operating on a global scale and are competitors with Empire. However, Total film doesnt just focus on magazines it also has trailers and other news about films on its website.

Research and Planning - Prop seleceted for the trailer
Below is a rough idea of how we expect and hope our script to turn out in our teaser trailer. We use little dialogue as a technique for adding tension and a sense of mystery behind the scenes that we show, although non-diegetic sound will be used to highlight any states of emergency and action.
The script was created by following through the animatic shot lists one by one and filling in where it would be neccessary to have dialogue.
Shot 4: (This winter..) - We are currently undecided on whether we will get a character to say "This winter" or leave the silence to add suspense.
Shot 5: (fight scene) - Moans and groans of the fight will be classed as standard diegetic on scene noise.
Shot 7: (Their story is told..) - Again we are not sure whether to include a voice over of a character saying "Their story is told", if we do decide on this the other titles will have a voice over accompanying them too.
Shot 9: (Result of fight - Close up) - Possibly diegetic noise may be said by the character as an emphasis on emotion and the state in which they are, but no specific dialogue.
Shot 12: (Confrontation of character) - The character shouts aggressively "What?" as a bold challenge and to highlight a typical aggressive attitude.
