Magazine ideas

Even though, today is the deadline for our poster, we know that we are going to start designing our magazine cover straight away  So far, I have been researching examples of magazine covers for romance films. I realised that for the magazine cover there are two approaches that we could take: we cud either have all three of the main characters maybe posing together for a picture on the front or we could have a picture with two or so of the characters posing closely together on the front portraying romance.
Not really keeping in line with these two ideas, I thought about maybe doing a triple slip screen with all three characters with a broken line in between possibly. I spoke to Mimoza about this idea and she also thought it was good. We are still currently thinking of this. Here are some of the magazine covers that I looked at and discussed with Mimoza:


 
                      
After talking to Mimoza she found a good website where there are magazine covers for loads of different movies with a variety of genres. We came across one particular film poster from the movie twilight that we thought was quite interesting for our film. Here is the magazine cover:

       

When looking at this magazine cover on the left, also trying to keep in mind the fact that we have two female characters as opposed to two male characters, so this could either be an advantage or disadvantage for us. We thought that maybe using this idea in the sense that Alex would be standing in the middle with Stella holding on to him as she is clingy and over protective as she doesn't want Alex to go back with Claire. On the other side we would just have Claire maybe gazing at Alex.
With the image on the right, this is actually a poster but we thought that we could possibly get some ideas from this poster for our magazine cover. We thought of the idea of maybe having Fiona watching / looking at Claire and Alex.With the main focus of our magazine cover being Alex and Claire. We are not sure about this idea as we thought it would suit more of a male character to be watching/ looking at the back rather than a female one as well as the fact that it wouldn't really go with our storyline.
