Total FilmFront Cover Break Down
Here is a break down of the front cover of Total Film magazine, we should follow these guidelines to create our own magazine front cover.

Today I started to put the best clips/footage on to our project. This was so that we could easily see which clips we had (which where good to use). I was also separating the sound from the video by using audacity to re-record the sounds. This is so that we can simply edit them later on. Such as make the louder/quieter etc.
I also started to play around with using Premiere Pro to play the clips backwards, slowly making the sound more dragged out/lengthened and of a low pitch. Recording this using Audacity allowed me to save the recording and listen back. When I did, I found that as the sounds where re-winded it sounded rather spooky. There where other things such as laughing, screaming, whispering and moving with sounded odd as they started loudly and slowly deteriorated compared to the noise normally where it would be the opposite to this; start off quiet and then get louder.
I really like the effects created using this technique. This also means that we now have our own background noise and ghost like sounds which we can use within our project.

Magazine cover research
I have been researching the layout and look of film magazines such as Total Film and Empire.
All these magazines have one thing in common, this is that the main character is the focal point of the magazine. This means that for our magazine cover we should have the characters as the main focus with other little bits arounds to introduce the film slowly. These could be things such as the background, the title, the object the character is holding etc.
Also with the front cover of a magazine we also have to include other films, the pricing/barcode and other snippets from the film world, these could maybe include interviews.
