Third Draft of My Film Poster...

This is my third draft of my film poster. I have decided that this is what I will develop to obtain my final film poster. What I like about this poster is that the black and white makes it sophisticated and profesional whilst the font I have used make it seem related to young people and schools. I believe that this poster would appeal to my target audience.

In my next draft I plan to include a webpage and basic film information typically found on a film poster advertising the release of a film.

Second Draft of my Film Poster...

This is my second attempt at a film poster for my short film, I am much more pleased with the result. Especially with my image of the victim.

I need to add more typical film poster conventions to my film poster and I also feel it need to stand out more which is another improvement I hope to make in my next draft.

I will try by changing my background colour from white to black.

First Draft of Film Poster...

In this film poster I emulate a lot of different features that I had seen on my film poster research. However, it has not turned out as I would have hoped due to the split screen of black and white which makes it look like a circus.

I have decided to change my idea so that the whole human subject is the same colour and not split. However, I have decided to continue to use black and white as it conveys the meaning and agendas that are seen in the film.

In addition in the film I plan to convert parts into black and white as it makes it seem important and I believe this would be professional to continue through out my ancillary tasks especially my film poster as it gives a sense of house style that I have seen in most successful media products.

Even though I plan not to use this as a film poster I really like the face that the main image only has the basic outline of a boy meaning that this film or person is generic and could apply to anyone.

All Filming Is Done...

We have finished all our filming and have recently started editing. The first draft should be ready soon!

Final Storyboard

Here is the PDF of the final storyboard.

Film Poster Ideas...

I have had a few ideas for creating my film poster. I am planning for it to be simple and attention grabbing. These are some of the ideas I am hoping to emulate:

I have decided that I would like to make a film poster in a silhouette format as this conveys a lot of ideologies about the short film and an audience can denote the images and text to realise the dominant/preferred meaning of my text.

Rough Storyboard...

This is the back bones of the storyboard that we created before half term to line the story. I then write it up adding some flesh to the writing. We are now doing the more professional and detailed scripts for our film.

Pinny Grylls

After looking at many short films I have found this one most inspiring, I especially admire Pinny Grylls work because it is not a typical short film. The ideas are very unique and induvidual, they also communicate meaning.

Pinny Grylls is a award-winning british film maker, she co-founded Invisible Films and the following year founded the Bird Eye View Film Festival which has shown films of emerging female filmmakers throughout the country. Peter and Ben was her second short film documentry.

Shooting Film..

Over the past term we have been filming the school scenes in lunch times as this was they only time our actors could do. Our last set shoot day is tomorrow lunch time where we plan to shoot the transformation scene. Then it is on to the editing. Exciting!!
