Pictures for products

Now I have created my draft layout for my film magazine. I will now start uploading images that I have took for my products. I will start off by editing my images so that they look conventional and professional.

Poster Layout Drafts

Inspired Poster

I am very inspired by the camera shot in used within this poster. The image really represents how the girls feel towards eachother and there facial expressions really show this. I like how the poster it quite simple but still looks eye-catching and effective. I also like the way the actresses names have been presented with two different fonts. On the other hand, I do not like the font and colour used on the title, 'WARS'. I think this is to bold and doesnt really compliment the posters colour scheme. Overall, I think the poster works well as it is very conventional and has everything needed for a successful poster.

Poster

This lesson I have been working on fireworks, experimenting with my poster layout and drafting out where I want to place various images and the writing. I want the main feature on the poster to be the image of the three main characters. My initial idea is to use this image as the background so it really stands out what the film is about. I also want to film title, 'Three's A Crowd' to really stand out. Next lesson I will upload my draft copies of the poster layout.  

Analysing Film Posters

I have researched different advertising film posters that are a similar genre to my own. I will now go on to analysing the three posters taking inspiration from the posters and talking about what I think works and what I think doesn't. I can then take ideas from these posters and experiment on my own film poster.

1. This is the first poster I was inspired by which is advertising the new release of. 'Bridesmaids'. I decided to research this poster myself as I knew it was a similar genre to my own. My favourite feature of this poster is the layout as I think it is very different to other film posters and this makes it really stand out and look quite unconventional. I also like the colour scheme used and how they have used the colour of the dresses to match the writing. On the other hand, I don't think the brick background really goes well with the film genre. Although, it is conventional I don't think it is a very eye-catching background.

2. The second poster I have decided to analyse is advertising, 'Bride Wars'. Yet again the colour schemes within these film genres are mostly pink and white which is very conventional and predictable. I do like the layout of this poster and the fact it is very simple but will still catch its target audiences eye. Although, I think this poster works quite plain I think there should maybe be a slogan on the poster or a little more information to advertise the film.

 

3. I have been inspired by this, 'Valentines Day' advertising poster in the way it has been layed out. I like the idea of the love heart used as this keeps all the images in proportion so the page doesn't look to busy. I also think the love heart is different and quite unconventional. I like how because the page has been layed out in a simple and neat way that there can be quite a lot of writing on the page. Also, I like how the colour scheme is blue and pink to show the charaters are unisex and is aimed at a wider audience. Lastly, I do think that the black background is a little to much of a block colour and there should of maybe been something used to split this up.

Products

These last few lessons I have been thinking about my film magazine cover and film poster. After discovering my colour scheme and font theme I have a clearer idea of what I want my products to look like. When creating my film magazine front cover I also have to come up with a title for the make of the magazine. I have already researched magazines for films so I already have an idea of what I want mine to be, I do want to keep it simple. I think this will make the magazine easier to remember. I am now going to start drafting my two products, experimenting with the layouts and seeing what works and what doesn't.   

Selected Images

1.

These are the two images I have chosen to use on my products. The image I have used above are the raw images and will be edited. I have decided on these two images due to the facial expressions that are used. Image number one shows a really mad expression. whereas, image number two shows a more sadder expression I have chosen to use these expressions as this is how the actresses come across through the film script. I also chose to position the girls in a certain way so when I uploaded them onto my products they would be placed to face one another.

I will also upload my other images onto my blogger on a slideshow.

Images

This lesson I have been taking images of my casts to use on my products. I already know what I want my images to look like and the camera shots I want to use. The shots I will be using for my products will be very conventional and hopefully represent how the actresses are feeling through there facial expressions. I also want to bring comedy through my images.

Next lesson I will start drafting my first copy of my film. My first draft will not be in the set location but will consist of the chosen clothing and the correct script. Also, I will be experimenting with different camera angles.
