After looking at the above magazines and analysing them, I decided to draft some ideas for my own film magazine:

• Masthead: 'Total Film' or 'Empire' - I think my film will appeal to a mass market audience as it will contain similar content to that of the film 'Paranormal Activity.'
• Colour Scheme: Red, black,  white,grey - I think I will stick to these colours as they are similar to the magazines I analysed which will create a professional feel. I think 'red' is a vital colour to initiate to the audience that my film is of the genre horror as it has connotations of danger, anger, passion and blood. The colour black also relates to the genre horror as it has connotations of mystery and darkness. 
• Main Image: My main image will be that of my main 'evil' character (the baddy.) I will use make-up and props to make my character look particularly scary and will use body language to make her look superior. 
• Typography: For my main cover line I will use the title of my film 'Strange Happenings.' I will use a bold, quite simple font which has a possible 'Gothic' element to suggest some horror but not make it too comical.
  For the other cover lines, I will use a tagline to initiate fear in the reader and increase their interest in wanting to watch the film. This tagline will also be used in my trailer to create a correlation between the two.

After looking at posters for the films 'The Conjuring' 'The Eye' 'The Strangers' and 'Sin City' I decided to draft some ideas for my own film poster:

• Colour Scheme: Red, black,  white,  grey - Like the four posters I analysed, I will make sure the colours I use for my poster will be dark reflecting the nature of my film. Again, I will use red because it had connotations to danger, anger and blood. 
• Main Image: For my main image, I am thinking of using a close up of my main 'evil' character/ 'baddy's' eye. Like the poster for 'The Eye,' I think this will create fear and catch the interest of the viewer. 
• Typography: I will use the tagline I will use in my trailer/magazine.
