Double Page Spread Plan

Double Page Spread

1st Double Page Spread
On page 102-103 of the empire magazine, May 2013. It has a double page spread of Robert Ocri and Alex Kurtzman who are writers and producers of popular films today. In the double page spread, they are the main image, one is on one side of the page and the other is on the other side of the page. Even though they take up a lot of room on the double page spread, there is still enough space either side of them for at least two columns of text depending on how much text there is or what font, font size it is. this is a good idea as well, because the image is takes up the whole double spread, but the rest of the image around the two people are blank and is appropriate for text to be there, its also very dark compered to other images and makes the spread dark as well (black and white), this could emphasise the power that these two have in making the movie. 

I would use more text, two or more columns, this will help me give the audience more information. I might also use a different colour scheme as well, but I will keep the same design with one person on each page very close to the centre, leaving room for text each side. I might change the layout of the text as well, depending on what I am going to do for my photography. E.g. if my image was of Doctor Who, I could have the text in the shape of a sonic screwdriver, or if i was using a superhero as my main image the text could be in the shape of the ionic shape of that hero(bat).

2nd Double Page Spread

This double page spread is of the recent film 'Fury', which is a WWII setting and the main characters are part of a tank squad join through Germany. The image shows all of the main characters sitting onto of the tank, looking relaxed. They are all muddy and dirty, which shows they went through something already, haven't just came from a clean house. It also has as the main headline 'MEN OF STEEL' which is very similar to man of steel, the super man film which was also very popular. this could attract a wider audience and also it is a pun, because the tanks will be made from steel or other parts of metals, and they are the men of that tank. the text on the side is also got an old feeling to it because if the font and the colour as well, like 1940-50, which is where the WWII was, and has enough information about it. The text gives a brief explanation on the film and then shows quotes, from the film or interviews with the actors and the directors. It also has another picture from the film, showing all the main characters in a way, and is mainly about Brad Pitt. hey will want Brad Pitt to be the main subject in the image because he is a big actor and has a lot of fans compared to the other fans.
