The title of my magazine is called 'BOOM' because of a piece of film equipment called a boom mic, it is also an onomatopoeia of the sound boom, to scare you and make you jump. My colour scheme is blue grey and white, i choose this scheme because of its cold nature, the colour blue itself is associated with the cold, winter, water, ice which gives the impression of the two characters being in a cold, damp scary place environment like a cellar or attic. Even though red is the usual colour for horror because it connotes blood and danger, my trailer is a psychological horror which does not involve a lot of blood and is mainly focused on scaring someone by using peoples fears and beliefs which build tension and send chills up your spine, so i thought blue would be best to use for my cover.
I have used a candle to illuminate the actors because of two reasons, one because a candle plays a significant part in my trailer at the end and so their is a visible link between my cover and my trailer. The second reason i used a candle was because i wanted a shadow effect, where half the faces are less visible and descending in to the darkness behind them. My actors are looking in different directions because i wanted to give the impression that their is an eerie atmosphere all around them, so i looks as though they are looking around, scared and wary of what might be lurking in the darkness.
Even though this links to the trailer, i had to link this to my poster as well, to do this i used the flame from the poster that i put on the certificate and put it on my magazine bar code, i then took the poster and cut out just her head so it was able to fit in the circle in the background.
