There is a large and bold masthead that stands out from the picture. The image is also covering the text and this shows that the magazine is very well known because the audience is still able to know what it says.

The image shows the two main characters in the film, who are also very famous actors already.

The headline is huge, and stands out over the image. The text is also in different colours, and this is reflected in the writing at the right-hand-sied of the page. This makes the cover flow and keeps it consistent.

The cover also features a slogan and details of a website for the magazine. It also includes standard components of a magazine such as the barcode, date and price.

The text on the page features a pun - 'make waves in Pirates of the Caribbean'.

Again, the masthead is large and supports the red theme of the magazine. The headline is in large, bold text and reflects the title of the film because the word 'golden' is in gold; this makes the headline look a little more interesting.

The image features the main characters of the film, and their poses are reflecting their personas in the film.

The cover also includes titles of other movies that the magazine is going to have information on such as 'Beowulf' and 'Close Encounters'.

Magazine Cover

Today, I began to research into film magazine covers. I analysed two Empire magazine covers as this is a well-known and successful film magazine.

When I come to creating my own magazine cover, I may use Empire as a template so my film looks like it is a cover for an edition of Empire magazine.

Analysing the covers has helped me to learn what needs to be featured on a film magazine cover, and the sort of image and headlines that are involved.

Uploading and Editing

Today, we uploaded the footage we have so far and began editing it. This included connecting the camera and an external hard-drive to the mac and saving the footage so that we can always access all our footage.

We also watched video tutorials for iMovie so that we can independently edit and create our trailer to a professional standard.

On iMovie, we rejected the footage that is not going to be included in our trailer and also stabilized the frames so that the footage looks more professional and of a higher quality.

This has left us with being ready to film more footage and make sequences of footage so the trailer begins to come together.

The footage we still need to capture is:

- Date scenes

- Filming in his bedroom
