Confessions of a Sock-a-holic - Final Edit

Above is our completed edit of our short film, Confessions of a Sock-a-holic. Enjoy!

Finished Magazine Review/Article

After another group deliberation and feedback we decided that our draft magazine review though colourful, was not professional. We were aiming for an article similar to that displayed by Empire or Total Film, and because of our split page and colour background it looked amateurish and suitable for a children's magazine. Magazines such as Empire do not use coloured backgrounds, rather the Classic White.

You can also see that we have used different pictures and our layout is more colloquial and clear compared to the draft which raped around the characters body and made the review hard to follow. We have also kept font colour to black rather than yellow, as magazines do not tend to go into specific colours which denote the film talked e.g the film poster displays yellow font, but a magazine does not carry this out because it is not affiliated with the film directly - it is just the audience.

We have also added a magazine edition date, a magazine name, page and other ways if accessing the magazine. All of these hold professional qualities and without them we would not be able to pick up that it was a magazine nor a review.

Final Poster

Here is our finished poster:

As you can see we have made some changes to our poster. We have corrected the mistake and erased the outline of a sock - used instead of a star. We have also changed the size of the font used to display who has reviewed the film, this is because before when they were the same size it was hard to tell what the quotation was and also professional, authentic movie posters use this format, and it is important we stick to this otherwise it will look amateur.

A third change, was the positioning of 'Synergy Films' because before to was placed behind the shoes and if this was a professional film, then the production company would not pay to be hidden, they also want advertisement.

A final, change is a minor one, yet still relevant. At the bottom of the poster you will see '#LOSTSOCK' - with the hundreds of million people using social networking site Twitter, it is important to also advertise to them. It allows for 'word of mouth' advertising and people worldwide to connect over the short film.
