today i have continued my research, however this time in Empire magazine covers. i have used secondry sources, from the internet, whilst researching this week. i used Empire magazine within my research as i plan on using it when making my own magazine cover. i have noticed that one of the unique selling points of their magazine covers, is how they change the title of Empire into a style sepcific of the film featuring on the front cover. this has helped with my planning as it allows me to brainstorm ideas about how i want the title of Empire to look in relation to the film trailor, eg, at the end of the film a piece of paper is screwed up, therefore an effect on the magazine cover Empire which would make the writing look crumpled up would be ideal. it has also allowed me to think about my magazine cover and begin to plan it. i have decided on how i would like the title of Empire to look, and changing it to a purple colour, so that it has some significance with Penelope's pen from the film, which is purple. i have also decided on the straplines i am going to use, now i need to decide on the position of Penelope on the cover, and go on to take the photograph.

this week i have researched film trailers and posters, which will enable me to complete the task of creating a teaser trailer, poster and magazine front cover, on the film i am creating in film studies.
