Inspired by the known film magazine 'EMPIRE' I have collated many common codes, conventions and features which all contribute to a successful reproduction of a magazine interview.
Certain features have been directly recreated in my own style such as the layout/title and image placement to an interview with Daniel Radcliffe seen earlier in an older post. These conventions appealed to me and were successful in attracting a reader's eye and attention but also for creating an exciting, artistic and creative tone and design to the article.
Below, is a draft sketch of the chosen layout decided for my Director interview, then followed by an A4 one page spread of my entire film teaser poster for 'TWISTED.'
I am very happy with this final layout choice as I believe it incorporates each common convention sophisticatedly without simply reproducing an 'Empire' article but purposefully taking inspiration and combining it with my own artistic intention to create the above.
I have carefully considered the following:
- size/font/facing/angles of text
- placement of text
- image placement
- layout of text (in vertical columns)
- colours (dark red/white/black)
- common codes i.e. photo captions/introductory information/photography references
in an attempt to draw similarities with the work of 'Empire' magazine but also to display my individual style and creativity.
