Font text

I am considering changing my title font for my movie poster to see which one suits it best; I have gathered the ones I think look appropriate for my movie and I will see what my target audience thinks of it. I will get their feedback to see if I should change it or if I should stick to the current font.

Film Poster - Draft 1

Here is the first draft for my movie poster; I need to get audience feedback and make further improvements if necessary. I will ask a range of people within my target audience to see what they think I can improve to it, or what I can change so that it will persuade them to watch the film.

Plan for my movie poster

I have created a rough plan for what my movie poster will look like, I will include various conventions including the title, ratings and cover models. This plan will help me create my movie poster and will give me an idea of where to place the images.

Movie Magazine - Semiotic Analysis

I have analysed a movie magazine so that I can identify the key conventions of it. I will use these to influence the movie magazine that I will be making for my film.

Trailer Darft 1 - Audience Feedback

Here is the audience feedback for the first draft of my film trailer. I asked my respondents what they liked and what I need to improve which I will then use to make improvements for my final trailer.

How do people find out about films?

I have done some research as to how people find out about films and the reason why they go and watch the film. I used the film 'Submarine' as an example to find out these reasons because the film is similar to mine.

Editing my trailer - Colour Grading

Colour grading is known as the process of altering and enhancing the colour of a motion picture, video image, or still image either electronically or digitally.


One of the many useful features of the editing software that I am using, Final Cut Pro, is that I have the ability to colour grade my trailer in order to suit the mood of the scene. For more emotional and sad scenes, such as the one where the character is crying about her dead brother, I have decided to alter the colours to a more darker shade. I chose to layer a shade of dark blue on top of the video to create a 'darker' and 'deathly' atmosphere which is appropriate for the scene.

 

As you can see from the before and after image, I have successfully colour graded the scene to create a darker feel which is what I was aiming for. I personally think that it looks much better because it is more emotional. I have also decided to do the same thing for the scene in which the mother is crying, also because of her dead son. Here is the before and after process of colour grading.

 

I think that this creative process is very helpful especially with the use of digital technology (Final Cut Pro) in order to create a more realistic and authentic film trailer. Real media products such as big budget motion pictures also colour grade their films in order for emotive effect which is what I have done so I think that this adds a professional touch to my trailer.
