The Third Film Poster Draft

This is another draft for my poster. My previous draft can be seen here, I have changed the top band for it to just be a dark grey strip. It would be a good idea to receive some feedback for what a group prefers; this can be done at a later time.

Editing

There is a small fight scene where I need extra music to add tension to the scene. At the minute it does not flow as it suddenly just comes in, even if it fades in it does not fit; I need to find a way to either make this fit or add a different sound which also adds suspense like this audio clip.

Film Poster Draft 2

Here is my second draft of the film poster. After receiving feedback that the characters look unnatural without a natural background, I have left the original picture without removing the background.

The top band of the poster contains a photo of the sky with a small amount of of housing areas.

At the bottom I have included the main actors within my film.

I have not yet decided on the title of my film, but the font is deteriorating representing the characters.

Adding Further Sounds

I have added additional sounds from a Royalty Free Music site Free Music Archive. The song is known as 'the Machine Stops'

The music clip has been split and duplicated at the start to prolong it. I will add this clip to SoundCloud to put it on my blog.

Sky Poster

As an update from yesterday, I have just taken a photo for the top band of my poster using this photo:

I have cropped this image and added it to the poster. Alongside this, I have added a line where I want the brick wall to go and the title font and design:

Now I just need to add the brick wall and possibly edit filters if I need to.

Starting the Film Poster

I have got a photo of the characters and started editing the poster. I am still using the previous draft as seen here. Below is the characters; I have removed the background and need to add a brick wall and a residential area above. If the residential area above the characters does not look appealing then I will change it to the sky on a fairly cloudy day (if possible) or photoshop the sky to make it dull and grey.

The characters with the background removed on Photoshop.

This has been saved on the Mac and on my Drive, allowing me to edit at a later stage on any computer in the school or even at home if I download PhotoShop.

Diegetic and Non-Diegetic Sounds

Diegetic and non diegetic sounds from mlevesley

Royalty Free Music

 The introduction sound is called 'The Machine Stops'.



Another song which I will include in my media is from Bensound. It is called 'Rumble', the sound represents a sense of anarchy and builds the mood with a powerful drum introduction.



Under the Creative Commons License, I am allowed to use the music in a multimedia project as long as I credit Bensound, for example stating 'Royalty Free Music by Bensound'.

Reflective Comment

The layout of this post is interactive with the help of Soundcloud. The viewer can easily listen to the songs on the blog page.

Release of the film

The purpose of my teaser trailer is to raise awareness for the film. The teaser trailer should make the audience want to know more, because the narrative is only teased; my idea before the film release is to release a number of teaser trailers revealing more of an insight into the characters' lives. Before the release of the full feature film, there should also be an official trailer released and published.

I could include this on my website for the film to keep interest raised before the release of the film.

Camera Shots and Types

Editing

I have put my filming from Thursday onto Final Cut Pro and began editing. I have not used Final Cut Pro properly before, so I will need to look at tutorials online for some help.

The Apple Support Website provides forums and tutorials on how to complete tasks, this will be very beneficial to me.
