| Film's Poster |
Shown is our completed poster for our film 'Marilyn'. One slight change has been made since the taking of this photograph and that is the age certificate in the bottom right hand corner. Instead of it being classified for 18 and above it has now been certified for 15 and above after numerous participants in our feedback groups felt that this age would also be suited to the film's violence and that it would also broaden our audiences in cinema, boosting sales. We decided to use a variety of different fonts that matched our chosen genre such as calligraphy writing in the films title; 'Marilyn' and a typewriter style font for our production companys name and web address, to link with the detective theme.
In order to become eye catching to our audience, we chose a strong white backdrop so not to loose attention of Marilyn being the main focal point in the poster. We also used strong, harsh colours such as reds and blacks to indicate negativity and to simplistically connote blood and death.
Adding the two ratings either side of the photo gives other people's trusting views and opinions on the film, as we realised most people today rely on other forms of media to tell them whats good and whats not. This is because people today are sucked into this whole idea that the media are right when it comes to opinions on other forms of media and so this where the hypodermic needle theory steps in.

| Review of Film |
Here is our finished review that we wish to publish in the more indie film magazines such as 'Little White Lies', 'Vertigo Films' and 'Indie Wire' whose target audiences are niche audiences who prefer independant films to the more popular, mainstream blockbusters. We created this review for our own film magazine 'Slice of Cinema' using what ideas we had discovered in other film reveiws of this kind. We found that they were more simplistic in there layout and tried to keep images to a minimum, often only using a key still in a film or the films poster image. As you can see we have kept with the colour theme of reds and blacks still to match to our poster making it look more professional and more like a combined product. We kept with adding an overall rating to our film as people can see just from the 5 star rating just how good a film is or not without having to go into depth and read the whole review. We also included the films weblink at the bottom of the page for people who become interested to find out more from, this is typical feature often used to give people the option for more facts.
