Changing my font style for the title
After a review of my trailer, i decided that i must replace my old font for the movie's title with a new one, something that was not only more stylised, but has a border to stand out on my movie magazine and poster. I decided to use a font generating website rather than the default fonts, as this creates a more stylised and recognisable look. The new font retains the same colour as the previous font, as the red font is a symbolic image of blood, danger and violence, and that is appropriate in a slasher film were it is expected to have all of those symbolic meanings.
Changing my production company logo
When reviewing my trailer, i noticed how the logo i was using was unsuitable for the horror trailer i was looking to create. Firstly, it was too light hearted a name in "turtle shell" and i think that a more serious name was appropriate, therefore i changed the production company to "Olympian Productions", which is a name that i believe sounds more like a real life production company. I also used Keynote in order to create a intro for my production company in my trailer. This is a improvement over the last one as all i used was a simple still image of the company, whereas this time i added effects to both the logo and accompanying text.

Movie Magazine Ideas:
For my magazine i was deciding between two different magazines for a primary style model, being Empire and Total Film respectively. I ended up eventually choosing Empire, due to my familiarity with that magazine brand and the overall layout of the conventions on the front cover. The magazine will have a house style of red and black, as these colours are symbolic codes for danger, darkness and blood. The main image will be of the villain of my film, as it is the most marketable and recognisable part of the movie, and like horror icons like Jason Vorhees and Freddy Kreuger, will come to be symbolic of the film.
