Double page spread photos

Afternoon, as with every other group our group has split it self into a certain number of sections and given ourselves a chosen section, my group was split into music, film, fashion and culture and i chose film as i feel it can go nicely with my film studies course.

Any how as a first off the cuff idea i had chosen to do a article on my version of the top 10 action films, this was mainly because i had an great idea for the front cover. So i went with that idea for a bit until realised that our magazine is more about alternative entities so with that i swiftly changed my idea as action films are more 'mainstream' and common. So i decided to do an article on alternative films, this posed a problem... what is an alternative film? Sir had suggested short films but i have minimal experience with them so i feel it would not of gone too well, so i thought an alternative film would be one that deviates from the norm, thus resulting in me deciding on 'cult films' as they are quirky and off the wall and also a rarity. So i made a list of some of my favorite cult films and scanned the internet for others and made a list of 10. How ever i may not do the whole top 10 thing any more more, i might just write about them and how they gained their cult status etc... suggestions?

For photos i decided to recreate some scenes from cult films, this turned out to be really fun as i rallied round some friends, props and costumes and took some photos.

Reservoir Dogs



Tada.

Thats like one photo out of about 8.
