Choice Of Backgrounds For My Magazine

Thomas Allison 0051

My first background was taken outside the main entrance of the college, the combination of the dark clouds in the sky with the trees and building help to would help to give me a good suitable diegesis for my theme on the magazine cover. It would fit well with the codes and conventions for my thriller genre.


This is my second option for a background. On the filming day it was dull and cloudy and looked like it was about to rain which really suited our genre. From research into Empire magazines and Sight and Sound I noticed on the majority of magazines the backgrounds consisted of gloomy smoky backgrounds with dull colours. So this photo really would suit my background for my Empire Magazine. This was taken outside the main building looking directly up at the sky.


This shot was taken in the courtyard after shooting the courtyard scene. This is a good option for me as it reveals a film location which we have used. Looking up at the building is a good option however it does not reveal any codes and conventions of the thriller genre so it may not be applicable to my choice/magazine.

My next choice which I have thought about is of the library where a couple of our shots took place. This photo may work with the codes and conventions making it darker.
