Film Magazine: Editing Process

Film Magazine Construction (Photoshop)

Stage 1

Similar to my film poster, I had to create a canvas for my film magazine in the same format. The structure was the international size Photoshop allows you to use so that there is a sense of continuity in my products.

Stage 2

Soon after that, I created the title and tagline of the magazine with the same fonts as my film poster. Again, this created a sense of continuity.

Stage 3

Whilst creating shapes for my poster, I clicked on the 'Ellipse' tool and changed the colour to yellow. This then allowed me to drag the tool outwards in order to create a yellow circle.  

After that, I clicked on the 'Fx' tool in the bottom right and pressed 'Stroke'. By doing this I was able to enable a black outline around my circle for emphasise.

Stage 4

When intergrating the film's title into my magazine cover, I used the similar colour schemes and font my film poster and magazine title still used in oreder to represent my use of continuity. The film titles tagline was the same as the main titles tagline too.

Stage 5

During mid constuction, similarly to my film poster, I realised the fonts I used for my titles where not the one I selected in my font research. Therefore, I changed my film title and magazine title so that it looked more realistic and effective. To do this I highlighted my film magazine title and pressed on the font "Arial Black".

After I pressed "Arial Black", my title appeared a lot more effective. Likewise for my film title too, it's evident they both look more mature.

Stage 6

To merge layers together, I highlighted the two layers I wanted to merge together but pressing the apple sign on the MAC PC and pressing the mouse. After that I went to the "Layer" option at the top and clicked on "Merge Layers".

Stage 7

Whilst inserting sellines, I had to make sure there alinement was accurate and had font that looked effective. Similar to my film magazine and poster, I used the same colour schemes and range font so that the style of my film magaizne appeared appealing and narrow structured.

Stage 8

To crop my image, I pressed on the 'Crop' icon positioned on the left and selected the area of the image I wished to keep.

Finally, to use the crop tool I then pressed on the 'Black Arrow' and pressed 'Crop', which left me with the cropped image.

Stage 9

This is a quick video showing you how I used the 'Magic Tool' and 'Quick Select' effectively to take the characters from the background of the image.

Stage 10

Finally, to add the image to my film magazine, I selected the layer in the image on the right and dragged it across too the film magazine on the left. I then had a 'Layer' with the image inside at my disposal now. Therefore, this led to the completion of my Film Magazine's first draft.
