Research and Planning: Film Poster Draft 2

This is my second idea that I have for my poster for the film Traffic. This is a simple design again but is much more shoot able because it is flat ground and I will be able to find a location where it is empty and will look like somewhere that the Mise En Scene is based.  

Research and Planning: Film Poster Draft 1

This is one of the ideas that I have for my poster.  It is a quite simple design with not a lot going on in the actual page.  This one will be quite hard to shoot because of the angle of the road and to find a place like this.

Research and Planning: Magazine Masthead Font Test

These are a few ideas of what the fonts will look like for my magazine.  I wanted a very simple design that also had a sharp edge like most film magazines do.

Research and Planning: SLR/Cinematography Test Shots

These are some of the test shots that we took for some ideas of where we could and couldn't take the shots at.  The last picture was shot in a medium dark area with no flash and that was the out come. The camera completly messed and up you can see what is going on.  We will always have to have the flash on when shooting in a dark area. 

Reseach and Planning: Poster Ideas

This is a collage that I have found that I am using to try and help me get some ideas and spot some of the trends among the social realist genre. 

Research and Planning: Audition Poster Evidence.

These are the pictures of the poster being up around college.  We put this up to get some interest for the film. 

Research and Planning: Film Trailer Audition Poster

This is the audition poster we will be putting up to try and get people interested in auditioning in our film.

Research and Planning: Editing Log

This is the editing log so far, we will be adding more to it once we have more footage that we will be able to edit. At the moment we are unable to film but we will be getting some more footage in the near future. 

Research and Planning: Shooting Schedule

These are some of the times that we will be attempting to film some of our footage, this is going to be the only time that we will have to film most of it so we need to make sure everyone on is in and ready to film. 

Research and Planning: Poster Analysis 2

The idea of this poster is something that I think would be good for me to do for my film if I had a few more main characters.  A simple line up of all the main characters in a simple background.  The idea of having all the awards that it was nominated for and all of the accolades that it has got, this is something that I want to include in my poster.  This is something that is quite common for social realist films because they are not big Conglomerate films they need to show off all the praise that is available to them. 
The colour scheme that is used is a 3 colour way of Red white and blue, these are the colours of the Union Jack so this represents how proud they are of the country that they live in. 
The Mise en Scene is important in the way that they have done the costumes, they all follow the same style of having Doc Martins on and stone washed jeans turned up, they all of very short hair as well.  This gives them an identity and a way of recognizing the group.    

Research and Planning: Poster Analysis 1

This poster of Shifty is from the same genre as what I am doing my film on.  This is a very simple design poster that they have made and it is something simple that I want to implement into my design but not this simple.
The Text that is used on this poster is very simple and it is like what I have found the samples on Photoshop. Very simple style but with a good style to it that means it doesn't look that basic, but at the same time doesn't look overly complicated.
Colours that are used basic colours: black and yellow.  The image that is used includes the only bit of Mise En Scene is the clothing and the costumes.  The clothing in this poster is simple everyday clothing, to create a realistic feel to the film.   

Research and Planning: Magazine Analysis

Due to the Genre that I am doing for my film trailer, there isn't many UK Crime film magazine covers out there, so I am doing crime films in general and will talk about how my genre will be different.
Banner- The banner is just highlight a story that I will be featured in the magazine and that they want you to see so that you will be interested in buying the magazine.
Masthead- The masthead is to grab your attention so you are drawn into looking at the magazine closer.  The reason for making it so big on most magazines is to grab your attention an making you want to pick it up.
Cover Lines- Cover lines are placed on the right hand side so you can see in this case who the hero's will be of 2010.
The main image is a medium close up of the main articular of the magazine.
This is a magazine follows the 3 colour rule again because it works in all areas of different magazines including film magazines   
The bar code is something that is standard on all magazines.

Research and Planning: Magazine Analysis

 Due to the Genre that I am doing for my film trailer, there isn't many UK Crime film magazine covers out there, so I am doing crime films in general and will talk about how my genre will be different.

Banner- The banner is used to promote something on the magazine, it is used to try and catch the eye of the reader or a person just looking at the magazine.  The banner is something quite mainstream and it will be different in my case because I am doing almost a social realist and crime film.
Masthead- The masthead is the name of the magazine that will be able to be identified by most people when they look at it.  In this case Total Film is a magazine that is recognized all over the country so they are able to place things sightly over it and people will still what it is.
Positioning statement- This is something that normally features on a magazine and it is something I want on my magazine.
Cover lines- The cover lines are the little stories that you see on the side of the pages that highlight some of the key features that are included on the magazine.
3 Colour Rule- In most cases, magazines go by a 3 colour rule. This keeps a professional look to the magazine.  By using 3 colours you do not get overwhelmed by to many colours.
Bar-code- This is standard on a magazine on the front.
The main image is a medium close up of the main person who will be a main articular in the magazine.
