Movie Posters

This is one of the three final pieces we have decided to use for our final movie posters. In this poster we have decided to incorporate the small print text beneath the movie title. This is a feature on most movie posters. This includes information on the producers, the directors and the film editors. In this poster we have decided to make the 'C' in the precognition in the title heading red. We felt that it would look affective on this poster. In this poster we have decided to make the actors name along the top fade from white to black. This is to make it look clear against the contrasting background. In this poster we have decided to edit the background photo to add to the effect of it. In parts it is darker than the original photo. we have also included a slogan above the title heading saying 'some people were born to be extraordinary'. This represents the main story basis for our movie trailer.

In this poster we have decided not to make the 'C' in the precognition in the title heading red. We felt that it would look out of place in this poster. In this poster we have decided to make the actors name along the top white and bold. this is because it looks clear against the black and red background. In this poster we have decided to edit the background photo to add to the effect of it. In parts it is darker. We have also made the image a red colour, this makes the photo look more appealing and gives it a look of blood. The gun can be an image of death which is associated with blood.

In this poster we have decided not to make the 'C' in the precognition in the title heading red. We felt that it would look out of place in this poster. In this poster we have decided to make the actors name along the top fade from a lighter shade of gray to a dark shade. this is to adapt to the lighting behind it. In this poster we have decided to edit the background photo to add to the effect of it. In parts it is darker. This is a powerful image because it shows the hero/ main character in a striking image with the gun showing.
This is the template that we created. This was the main basis for each of our posters. We started each poster with this templates then incorporated an image and worked it all around this template.
This was another version of one of the final pieces. This has only slight tweakes to the final piece. For example the movie catchphrase or slogan is not included above the title. The actors names at the top of the poster has been changed so that the text is easier to read against the background.

This is another poster that we tested. This has an image that we decided not to use in our final piece. it includes an over the shoulder look of the main character from our teaser trailer. The blakc and white effect of the poster gives it agood effect and makes the different features stand out. This poster also doesent include the traditional 'Precognition' title that we have incorporated into all of our final pieces. it also doesent include the movie text at the bottom of the page which includes information on the creators of the trailer.

This is another image we tested. This image was also used in one of our final posters. The main differences in the two images however are that: At the bottom of the poster there is not the small print movie text which is on most, if not all movie posters. In our final versions of the posters this movie text has been incorporated. The actors names at the top has also been changed in the final pieces. The text and the colouring has changed. The background colour for this image has also been changed for our final piece from the yellow colour similar to another of our posters to a more deep orange or red colour.

This poster is one of our practice posters. This poster uses the same image as our final piece poster. However there are a number of differences. At the bottom of the poster there is not the small print movie text which is a regular feature on most, if not all movie posters. In our later versions of the posters we have incorporated this text into them. The Actors names has been changed at the top of the image. The font and the colouring has been changed, the colouring has been changed because it was difficult to read against the background of the image.

Magazine Cover

This is our final draft for our Film magazine cover. we finally decided to use the red/orange coloured background contrast rather than the black and white image. We used this because it looks more attractive and appealing. We have also decided to use the white text on the black background text boxes. This is to make the text less difficult to read.

This image above is our 3rd draft. In the image we incorporated a black and white effect, we decided to use this as it is also a striking contrast which could entice a reader and attract people to the magazine. However in our final draft we decided against using this effect as we thought that the red colouring looked appealing and makes the image stand out more. We have rearanged the subheadings on the cover page. To deal with the issue of the white bold title headings being difficult to read we have put the text in black background boxes. This allows a strong contrast of white on black which makes the text easier to read.

This is our 2nd draft for our Film magazine cover. In this image we have incorporated one of our own images into the background. I feel that the red contrast lighting effect that we have used in this image has a good effect and makes the image stand out and look appealing. This image however has some negative points. For example the white writing along the left hand side is quite difficult to read. We looked to fix this fault in our final draft.
This was our first draft for a practice magazine cover. In this magazine cover issue we used the title of our teaser trailer as the title of the magazione cover. This was just a quick draft to practice what we were going to base our magazine cover around.

Filming

The filming was carried out in mid february. We decided to film the sequence near the centre of bristol. The area was close to temple meads in an area of modern buildings called temple quay.


During the filming we came accross 1 slight problem. We carried out the filming on a thursday between 00:00 am and 03:00 am. during this time we were travelling along the wells road and were stopped and pulled over by a police unit. They had told us that a group of men had just robbed a post office unit and had escaped in a white Vauxhall Corsa. This happend to be the same vehicle we were driving in that night. In the boot of the car we had 3 model plastic guns. fortunatly for us the policemen understood we were not the criminals and allowed us to leave without any search. Which if they had might have took a lot of explaining and convincing that the weapons were being used for media filming and not looting.

The 5 screen shots above are the alternative location that was our first idea for filiming our production. We decided not to use this area as the new area we found was more suited to our idea for our film.


This is the video camera we used. It is the Fujifilm finepix S2500.
