Film Poster Developing 1

This is my film poster idea developed into something more professional looking. Both silhouetted characters are found images because at this time i was only developing on my plan so i was experimenting with poses and images before actually taking pictures of my actors.

The colour is what has changed most from my panning. By making it dark gives of that feeling of tension which is what i would like for my audience to be feeling. It resembles a room filled with secrecy the red resembles a door and the intent to kill which is why my character is holding a gun.

Having the characters coloured this way is to make my audience question who the bag guy is. So there could be questions raised like is killing him because he is a bad guy or is the main character with the gun a bad guy.

I have finally come up with a tag line which best suits my genre and tells the audience the situation that is happening in the poster.  I tried to add a shadow in this picture for the aesthetic appeal and continuity due to the light behind the main character, but couldn't due to not knowing how to.

Film Magazine Planning




This is how i plan my final idea to look genially, i plan to follow most of the conventions for my magazine because it would make the magazine look more official. Putting the main image in front of the masthead kind of goes against conventions. I did this because i wanted my audience to see the face of my actor and it tells the audience that this person is important i feel. adding the main cover lines also informs my audience of what would be included in the magazine whilst also catching their attention a little bit.

Including a Puff makes my magazine look more professional to my target audience, this would make the magazine more trustworthy due to its professional appeal.

Film Magazine Development 1

As you can see it follows my planning with everything being positioned where i wanted it to be. Most of the images implemented on the magazine are original with the exception of the main cover line which is full images from other movies. i did this to make my magazine look more professional but i will add my own images in the future.

The colour scheme for this magazine suits the atmosphere of my film. The best part of this magazine would be my main image which really blends in with the theme of of the film and magazine itself.

Trailer Planning, Storyboard ideas

 I am planning out my trailer with my partner and this is what we have so far. We have mapped out the camera angles, roughly how long each scene will take, we have some locations down and already thought about casting characters. This complies of the first 5 shots where the main character will be introduced along with his wife, we get to see the life of the gangster and how it affects his wife. The firs shot will be a long shot of our actor charlie and then a close up of our main character with his wife with the both of them lying i bed this will be a close up

The next shot is my favourite, it will be another long shot but this time we zoom into our character.  
 We thought of including a chase scene but we feel that we may not be able to execute that so it may get scraped in future along with the bar fight scene due to it beeing to hard try something like that and get a bar that would allow us to do this.

Trailer Analysis

I really like the trailer there are some elements that work well and others that don't but lets focus on the details of this trailer. This trailer includes many conventions you would see in a real one and some that have been developed on. It includes a disclaimer title to tell people who the film is catered towards to, camera angles to complement the mood of the movie and the film title. The soundtrack goes really well with the trailer it is what gives it more emotion especially the second half. I feel that it could of been improved in terms of making things more clearer  because it is fairly difficult to tell who the protagonist or antagonist is if you watch without knowing about the story.
