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

 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'.

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.

Film Poster Draft

 I have loosely based it on the poster for This is England as seen below:

My poster will be portrait rather than landscape and will feature at bus stops and in the cinema light boxes like so:

Here is my draft of the poster:

The bottom half is the characters in front of a brick wall, above this, I am going to have a residential area similar to the one below:

I will attempt to replicate this sort of photo, possibly by taking a photo from the school.

The idea is that the characters are 'below working class' and the wall symbolises the idea that they are obstructions in society.

Reflective Comment:

This post could be made to be more interactive by turning it into a presentation. This could be completed at a later stage, but the post contains information and a plan for the ancillary task of the poster.
