Poster and magazine colour scheme

I want to keep a similar colour scheme through out my magazine and poster, so my audience will know they are referring to the same film. I have chosen to use the colours green, blue, red, white and black as there are iconic sci fi colours. They remind people of space, galaxies, lasers and aliens. This will help my target audience understand the genre of the film my magazine and poster are advertising. Also these colours will make my magazine stand out from others as most magazines use very bright colours to try and grab attention and as my colours will not be as bright, my front cover will stick out more.

Props

Last year for my AS opening of a film I made an alien hand for my prop. This year as I am creating a trailer I didn't want to give it away too much that my film is about aliens so I will not be showing any alien footage. I only want to suggest aliens but leave it to interpretation as it taser my audience more and that is the idea be hide teaser trailers. But I will be using fake blood to suggest elements of horror in my film and also to grab my target audience's attention.

Film Poster Update

After getting feedback from my film poster, I wanted to start all over again, as the feedback from my target audience was it didn't look like a professional film poster and looked more like a horror/zombie film than a sci-fi film.

So I will re-design my poster and look up youtube videos to help me make a more realistic film poster.

Audience feedback from my film poster

Things I need to change:
I need to make the titles, tag line and date more readable by making the font bigger.
I will blend the girl in more with the wood.
I will change my spelling error.
I will make the man/alien in the background more visible as no one saw it.
I may add some starts in the sky to give it a sci-fi look to it.

I have decided to have my characters wear everyday clothes to make them look like everyday teens which will make it easier for my target audience to relate to them and therefore feel for them. 

Magazine and Poster language

After researching film magazines and posters I know what language I should use. As my target audience are teenagers I can used more modern words or phases as that will appeal to them. I will use standard english, so that everyone will be able to read and understand my text. I will not use slang or jargon as my target audience will not understand my text and therefore it will not appeal to them. I will used buzz words like exclusive to draw my audience in.
