stage 2, film poster.

This is the next stage in making the film poster better. I have not yet added any text at the bottom but that will go on in the next stage!

Film Poster- Improving

So after yesterday improvements all i need to do now is perfect my text, and the film details. So i had a look around at other film posters, and i like the way the trainspotting film poster separates the film details from the poster with the dark box. I do not think i would add a dark box, but i do want the information to be separate from the poster.

Improvements on Coursework- film poster

After reading through the feedback i decided to add a more detailed man to my film poster,

This is the beginnings of the new poster...

Comments would be appricated.

More eye catching, change image?
Magazine still needs a background

The actresses are far to cheesy and “crap” actors.

That “what” shot (34:16) why?!

Repetitive and boring.

Teacher Feedback

Film trailer Low Level 2. This needs work to reach your desired standard. There are some good shots and the music works in parts. Consider changing the track when you reveal the problem (no man). The titles could be more prominent. Ultimately this needs more shots and indication of the storyline. Your editing needs to be a lot tighter to create a quicker pace. More shots on the prospective men is vital - who will she end up with?! The classified ads are very seedy - you should refilm these and use a more upmarket newspaper!


Film poster = High Level 1 - decent tag line and image, but not enough film information e.g. director, institution, certificate. You need to look back at your research of film posters. Outline of man could be improved.
Magazine cover = Level 2 applies conventions reasonably well, but you shouldn't use the same image for both your poster and magazine. You should actually mention the name of your film!


Anything in bold has been added to my to do list :) X

Draft Magazine and Poster

FiIming

I finished my filming today, i did the final shots in Amy's house, because i needed quiet a "homely" atmosphere. I filmed all the conversational shots at Amy's house, which was quiet difficult because of the background noise and because we are all close friends the actresses found the whole filming quiet amusing. But i think that i got all the shots that i need. I will get some screen shots later on just to show you the mise-en-scene.

FiIming AGAIN

Today I'm, going to do some more filming at Amy's house, Hopefully i will be able to get all the shots that i want, i have quiet a few i need to get.
After thinking about different theorists in the lesson today i want to take into account what Marjorie Ferguson talked about with facial expressions. I want to portray Amy as a romantic/sexual character because she that is the way most brides are portrayed in this genre of film so i will talk to my actress about this and make sure that i dress/ position and shoot her appropriately.
