Magazine Layouts

this was our first idea for our magazine layout. we saw this as a good idea, as we believed tha it was the best way to present our information, while still incorporating all the basic magazine features, such as breakout boxes and subheadings, which in this layer would consist of additional information for our magazine. this was our second layout idea, which in many wasy resembled the forst idea, with most of the boxes moved to the oppposite side. we tried this slayout, as we wanted to see from which angle that we could present our information in the best possible manor. eventually, both of our first ideas led us to this final layout, which was the one we picked. this one we were able to come up with, through the merging of both our first and second ideas, by presenting them next to each other on an A£ piece of papaer. this gave us the idea of creating a double page spread, but this was said to be too difficult, and so we decided to make one on an A4 piece of paper, which would pose a challenge, as we would have to incorpoarate the information of a normal double page spread in one single page.

Names for Film Magazine(s) by Myles McCaulskey

As we have seen from before, the ultimate purpose of a magazine film review is to directly illustrate, exclaim and provided the audience with information and third person opinion(s) on upcoming films that are to be released at the Box Office in the up coming weeks. After successfully finishing the production "Chasing the Dream" a Film Magazine had to be created and also published in correspondence with the Film and also Film Poster. However, in order to start the Film Magazine production a title for the magazine had to be made, here are some of the ideas we have come up with:

v     Cinema Now

v     Cinema Weekly

v     Cinema Monthly

v     Lights, Camera, Access

v     Cinema Senses

v     Silver Lining Cinema

v     Silver Screen Magazine

v     Contemporary Cultural Cinema

v     Neoteric Magazine

v     F4U Magazine (Films For You Magazine)

v     FFU (Films For You Magazine)

v     Viewpoint Magazine

v     OTB (Outside The Box Magazine)

v     Photoplay Magazine

v     Playhouse Magazine

v     Celluloid Concepts Magazines

Our final Decision:

After cutting our Film Magazine Names down to:

v     Cinema Now

v     Lights, Camera, Access

v     Cinema Senses

v     Silver Screen Magazine

v     F4U Magazine (Films For You Magazine)

Our group decided that “Silver Screen Magazine” was the best name for our Film Magazine. This is because “Silver Screen Magazine” is a punchy title that uses a portion of alliteration to rhyme Screen and Magazine. “Silver Screen Magazine” could be seen to be mentioned as you may hear people say “…did you read Silver Screen this week?…” Our film magazine name will hope to attract large audiences as although it incorporates the name “Screen” the word “Silver” will create curiosity as people are inquisitive and want to read possibly what a silver screen is and what it has to do with media. We hope that “Silver Screen Magazine” will be a successful title when reviewing our film “Chasing the Dream.”

Tagline(s) for "Chasing the Dream" by Myles McCaulskey

Firstly, what is a Tagline:
A tagline a branding Slogan typically used in marketing materials and advetising in different areas of media. The idea behind the concept is to create a memorable phrase that will sum up the tone and premise of a brand or product e.g. "Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water..." which was from the 1978 production of Jaws 2. This was done to reinforce the audience's memory of a product.

"Chasing the Dream" Tag Line(s)
Our group wanted to maximise the success of our film "Chasing the Dream" by attributing a unique tag line to the film poster and here are a few ideas we have come up with:

"...One man, One Dream, One Destiny..."

"...One, man, One Dream, One Choice..."

"...To Mop, To clean, To Chose..."

"...With a little belief I had a Dream..."

"...Would you ever think a Dream could become a reality? Well..."

              
"...Cleaning up a future, Living the British Dream..."

"...Life's Not always fair, but with one belief Au Contraire..."

"...Never let go of your Dream, its all written in the stars..."

"...A little bit of Graft, Gets you in your Path..."

"...Cleaning today, Dreaming tonight, Reality..."

All of these taglines, gave the audience an insight into what is to be expected in the film, however, after close administration from our group we decided that our best options were:

"...One man, One Dream, One Destiny..."
"...With a little belief I had a Dream..."

"...Life's Not always fair, but with one belief Au Contraire..."

"...Never let go of your Dream, its all written in the stars..."
"...One, man, One Dream, One Choice..." 

After drafting down our tag lines we believed that the best Tag line for "Chasing the Dream" was:


"...One man, One Dream, One Destiny..."

We chose this Tag line because it enhances the Rule of Three and provides the audience with the bare backbone of "Chasing the Dream" providing the audience with what may be seen in the film. This is the idea tag line for our film and I hope that it will be memborale when attributed to our film.

Locations of "Chasing The Dream" by Myles McCaulskey

Our Film "Chasing The Dream" has many various locations and these are a few of the destinations in which our short film will be played out:

Heathrow Airport

Our group has chosen this location as it is a typical British airport which is recognisable to most audiences. The use of a scene at Heathrow Airport will establish to the audience that the main protagonist may be foreign or just coming back from another country. Setting the scene for the audience who through this location will establish that our main character is a new citizen in the UK looking for work.

School Corridor

The Next location seen in "Chasing the Dream" will be in a school corridor seen in the pictures above. This location will be used to show the main character Kwami (Roache Boateng-Abraham) sweeping as he plays a role of a cleaner. The viewing of lockers in the sequence will address to the audience that the location is a "school like" setting and not just a random corridor in the film.

School Gates (Entrance to the School Setting)

This is the third location seen in "Chasing the Dream" This location will be the main way we tell the audience that Kwami is leaving and returing to school each day. It can also be seen as a montage as this location will be possibly filmed to show him getting to school in the morning and then also leaving at night. This location will be used to illustrate that Kwami is a teacher and cleaner throughout the film as at the beginning of the short film he enters as a cleaner and by the end leaves as a Teacher at the same school he used to clean in. The use of the school gates and the school sign in the distance will show the audience that this is an entrance to a school and not just a random location our main character is travelling to and from to.

Roaches Room:

This location is going to be used as Roache's Room. This will be used for montage scenes of Kwami going and coming from work, but also studying at night. This is an important sequence as it shows Roache's background and where he is living. This sequence will show the audience the social stanards Kwami is living in and how his life is progressing within the film

The Sixth Form School Coridoor

This is the final major location seen in "Chasing the Dream" This is the final sequence in which Kwami has become a fully fledged teacher, capping the end of the film.  In this location Kwami will walk to class which will systematically end the film.

Other Locations seen in "Chasing the Dream"

The Classroom

The School Grounds

Both of these are locations in the film, but play a minor role in proceedings. Kwami will just be seen walking through this locations without any major significance.
