Front cover with added film strip effect

On this print screen, I have added the strip at the bottom of that page. I did this after researching other magazines with a similar feature, and feeling it was appropriate and effective in selling the magazine. I also chose to do this, as I thought it effectively denoted that it is a film magazine, and this is because it seems like it's a film strip going across the front of the cover.

I did this by using Microsoft PowerPoint. I firstly used that box tool, to make it so the lines were perfectly parallel and then I used the line tool to separate different sections where films could be shown to be featured within the magazine. The reason I chose the colour blue to be the theme for the 'film strip' is because this is the colour scheme I used for the text on the cover.

In addition to this, the background to the box I used for the 'film strip' is slightly translucent, which means that the reader of the magazine can see the background to the magazine front cover, but makes it seem less like a block, which means that it will appear more consistent.

The reason I chose the film's I did, which were 'Clash of the Titans', 'Remember me' and 'Twilight Saga: Eclipse', is because they are films that are recently going to be out in the cinemas, around the date of this issue of the magazine. I chose the pictures I did because they were close up shots of the characters from the films, which means that readers can immediately relate to the film.
