After looking through many magazines and articles, we had finally decided on a layout and style that we wanted in our magazine.
We also looked at our poster to see what elements we should include in that to tie in all the littel nuggets of information together.
Here is the final product:
The background ties nicely with the name of the film 'Erase' and Scott had madea good decission on the layout of the magazine making the centre a pocket full of photographs and little bits of detail about the short film and it's production.










Onto the Article it's self, Scott was given the task of this as well and did a brilliant job giving it the natural and realistic feel that we wanted for the article, in the interview he put in I think an unfair portayal of my character was a rather funny addition to the article on a more personal note.

Short Films, the new addiction? An audience with the Erase creators.
In the new technological age, people have come to expect things immediately; the world has become a place of speed and abruptness, where all news is old news, as soon as it hits. Therefore it seems fitting that every aspect of this new technological world, should work on the same basis: Short films, a story told in a matter of minutes, containing all the action, comedy, romance, suspense of any major blockbuster, all the while delivering their essential message; the reason for their creation.
In recent years short films have become exponentially more popular, used for a multitude of purposes; to entertain, to advertise, or simply as the opening to that new must-see movie. Awards are no longer given to just the feature-length films from this director or that producer, but to short films, made by ‘average Joes’; the short film industry is quickly becoming a more recognized media.
Short films are becoming so popular that Nick Parks, the famed director of ‘Wallace and Grommet’ has been nominated for an Oscar for best short animated film, an award which he has already won on 4 previous occasions. Such news has encouraged a new generation of short-film makers (otherwise known as ‘Shakers’) to step into the limelight and broadcast their creations worldwide.
One of these groups of ‘shakers’, who have decided to take the brave and, frankly, well-deserved step into the limelight, is a culmination of the brilliant director, producer and stars of the celebrated short film, ‘True Colours’, with the equally brilliant producer of, the short film, ‘Georgina’s Secret’. This genius group of young ‘shakers’ have formulated an idea for a amazing short film, which possesses all the necessary elements to take the short-film world by storm. And we, at ‘Now Film’ magazine, have been given the opportunity to interview, two of these brilliant minds; Co-producers/directors, Scott Pinder and Nick Williams.

NF: ‘So, welcome to Now Film magazine, we’re absolutely thrilled to have you and really looking forward, to hearing about your new project. Can you maybe, tell us a little bit about it, because up to now it’s all been kept quite quiet, and we’re dying to know about it. What made you decide to make this film, how did you come up with it, more importantly who came up with it.’
Scott: (Laughs) ‘Well, we don’t want to reveal too much, we want to leave some surprise for the audience, but I suppose we can tell you a little bit. The majority of us, as I’m sure you’ll know have worked together before, and we had a really good time making ‘True Colours’, so we decided to give it another try, and I’ve known Jamie Kirk for a good few years now and we bumped in to him at an awards night, and he really wanted to do another short-film and we-’
Nick: ‘Cut a long story short we decided to make a new film.’
Scott: ‘Yeh.’ (Laughs)
NF: ‘Ok, but who actually came up with the story?’
Nick: ‘Well, we all added bits and pieces to the story, we threw a few ideas about to start off with, but eventually we managed to settle on this one, I think it was me who came up with the actual idea of the author writing his story and I think it was Scott who came up with the two realities aspect, wasn’t it?’
Scott: ‘Ye I think I came up with the two realities coming together in the end, but in the end we all pretty much put the same amount in as each other really.’
NF: ‘Ok so there’s no one who can take all the glory, you all came up with it together, but for our readers who know nothing about it, can you explain exactly what ‘IT’ is?’
Nick: (Laughs) ‘Well like Scott said, we don’t want to give too much away, but, the gist of the story is, this authors writing a story and what he’s writing is coming true, and it’s all happening to this girl, anyway it’s all meant to be quite chilling and creepy, and I really think we’ve managed to achieve that, especially with the help of Saquib Majid
Scott: ‘Ye, it’s really come together and I reckon it really makes you think and like Nick said Saq has done some really good work, I mean we all had a go, but he’s done the majority of the filming and it’s looking really good, so we’re just hoping it’ll get a good reaction.’
NF: ‘Well I’m sure it will go down great with the public, but one last question before we call it a day, where exactly has your inspiration come from?’
Scott: ‘Hm. Well, there’s loads of things that inspired it to be honest, I mean we’ve taken inspiration from loads of like thriller films, to help with creating the suspense etc. But I reckon that, personally, I took inspiration from the film, ‘Sliding Doors’ and how it looks at two separate realities and I reckon that that’s how I came up with the duel realities aspect.’
NF: ‘Well I’m afraid that that’s all we have time for and we are really looking forward to the film coming out, it’s out May 4th is that right?’
Scott: ‘Ye, that’s right, we hope you like it.’
The new short-film, ‘Erase’, is to be released May 4th and, is more than likely going to be a major hit with short-film fans the world over.

The above is the final article he had come up with, after help from all of us edeting and correcting the odd mistake here and there. Over all a great sucess in the article.
