Pitch: How Can I Ensure That All 3 Arteacts Link Cohesively

As part of the brief of the production I have to produce my short film, a poster advertising the film and a magazine review for the film.


Continuity- 

Style- With the style I will have to consider the fonts I use for my magazine review link with the style I have chosen for my poster which can link back with the credits I include within my short film. They have to reflect the fonts used usually within my chosen magazine too as it mustn't exclude it's target audience.

The style I am going to use for my film is a homage to the 1995 film Pulp Fiction as it reflects my overall theme within my film as being a pastiche and it is a bold look within the credits which will grab the audience's attention. It would also be a suitable font to use within my magazine review as it will look like an appealing page so the reader will want to read the article in front of them but at the same time link back to my production.

                                                       

















The magazine I have chosen to print my film review in is Empire magazine. Empire is a British film magazine published monthly by Bauer Consumer Media.From the first issue in July 1989, the magazine was edited by Barry McIlheney and published by Emap.Bauer purchased Emap Consumer Media in early 2008. It is the biggest selling film magazine in the United Kingdom and is also published in the United States, Australia, Turkey, Russia and Portugal. Empire organises the annual Empire Awards which were sponsored by Sony Ericsson , and from 2009 sponsored by Jameson. The awards are voted for by readers of the magazine.

The target audience for Empire is both male and female aged 16-30 but predominantly middle aged males. I have chosen this magazine as it has the same target audience as my production as film fanatics will buy the magazine and research for further watching. Another reason I have chosen this magazine is that hey run features and competitions of short films and review them inside articles. I will include my film in an article featuring other films in a list format.


For my poster I am going to make it a teaser poster as this doesn't give a lot of information on the plot and won't spoil the production and it will also tease my audience. The reason I haven't chose to present a character poster is because my film will only have two characters and I feel if I show them together they can guess what they will be like and work out the whole film. I also didn't choose to use a theatrical poster as I am only making a short film and I won' be releasing it theatrically. The size of my poster will be the size of a page within the magazine which measures at: Standard Size: 8 38'' x  10 7/8 which is an economical and common magazine page size.
