At this point Filming had been delayed due to problems of waiting for new cameras. What we wanted to learn how to use a the camera. However are exams are coming up in January and most of are focus and spare time will be spent on revision.So hopefully we start filming at the end of January.

Due to the constructive criticism from the feedback we received on our film poster, we decided to change the tag line font to the same font as the title of the film to keep with continuity. Here is the new film poster with tag line font change.

Ancillary task 2 Film poster part 6

Teaser Poster
This poster was created using photoshop. we created this by making the background complete black which can be done easyly by using the fill tool on photoshop. We used the snow to create footprints. The quality on photoshop was not the way we wanted, so we coloured the footsteps white . We then got the font from a website .

Film Poster
After taking all the photos we needed, we looked through them and deiced which photo we wanted for the film poster. We then put the chosen photo into photoshop. We edited the photo in different ways.We then tried two put another background to make it different. eventually we kept the original background and took the colour out. The teacher still thought that we could do more to improve the poster, so we had to find out how to airbrush a photo. After that we put the text on which was created in Illustrator and then the image of the eyes off in the Internet from a website recommended by the MRC staff . Also recommended the idea bu to take all the colour out of the poster and made them white.This will be more effective and more scary which links to are short film .

When creating are film poster we wanted to incorporate some of the film. By undertaking this we had an over the shoulder shot with the youth behind the main actor . The shots would give off a sense that the main actor is being watched and followed.We also had to look at what costume because it is one important way to show the audience what type Character is being displayed.In are shots we had are main actor dressed casual smart,By doing this the Character gives the sense of a less threatening look. On the other hand the youth is dressed in dark clothes with his hoodie up,By dressing the youth up like this he is giving off a threatening and street look. Already we are giving the audience an idea of what the Character are like.


We decided that we wanted to take the picture inside the school building and turned off all the lights. However the green background ,the T.V and the lights in the other corridor got in the way and we saw this becoming a challenge when comes to the editing of the photo. Also are film is based outside and we wanted to display that as well.So we decided that taken the photo would be better outside than inside. However we saw this a great starting point.




Here is the image in the daylight,however the image does not give off a daunting vision. So when it comes to editing we will have to play around with the photo.




We uploaded the photo on photoshop and experiment with contrast of the colours to make it bit more scary.

After deciding what type of posters we were going to undertake , we needed to do some more research on more film posters . By doing this it give us an idea on what we can create as are film poster. We decided to look at the film poster for the film "no country for old men".We got attrcated to this poster because it give off a sense of fear and darkness which is simliar to the other film poster i looked at "buried". Also the poster gives off that person is being watched by the eyes which will link to are short film of the person being followed .

As we decided that we were going to undertake a teaser poster and film poster, we researched a film that has done this campaign successfully.

Buried teaser poster


"Creative black space is the new creative white space" this teaser poster for the film Buried, gives the audience an immediate sense of claustrophobia just by looking at it. Also it gives Little information about the film but not to much,which will make the public want more and convince them to watch the film . The image is basic but gives off a dramatic view.It will the audience a sense of fear, coldness , spookiness,and anticipation .


Buried film poster :


In the film poster it still gives off the same sense as the teaser poster of having fear and coldness. However this film poster gives more information like the release date, the name of the main actors and the tag line.

The second task that we have decided to undertake is a film poster. In are research for the film poster we found out that there is different types of posters . Teaser posters,character posters, motion posters and remix posters are different ways of getting the film known to the public before the real poster comes out. We decided that we wanted to try and do a teaser poster as well as the film poster. A teaser poster or advance poster is early promotion of the film. A teaser poster is sometimes released way before production on the film has started ,although issues happen during the film development. usually a teaser poster contains a basic image or design without revealing too much information such as the plot, theme, and characters.A tag line may be included. The teaser poster is meant to create incite of awareness and generate hype for the film. Whereas the film poster has a different job. Posters are usually printed in different sizes and has different content for various domestic and international markets.The poster normally contains an image and text. The film title is normally in large lettering and often the names of the main actors. It may also include a tag line, the name of the director, names of characters, the release date.Also the image is usually big and eye catching so that it can stand out. Film posters purpose is to grab the attention of the public and convince them to watch the film and to delivery important information to the audience.

I wanted to show some of the research that we found because it interesting to see how technology has moved on so far that there are servile types of film posters. This can be demonstrated by the following examples.

character Posters:


A film with an ensemble cast there may be a set of character posters, each featuring an individual character from the film. Usually it contains the name of the actor/actress, with or without the name of the character played. It may also include a tagline that reflects the quality of the character.

Motion Poster



The most recent type of poster in which the poster is animated.

Remix Poster



A poster that has been altered or "remixed" to change the intent of the original film poster. A remixed poster often contains a political or comedic message, using the credibility of the film poster format to deliver the message of whoever is creating the remixed poster.

Ancillary task 1 radio ad part 4

This is are final version of are radio trailer.We created this on a program called Final cut, an editing program that we also going to use to create are short film. How we created this is by using a flip cam to record the voice over. One of are teachers lent his significant voice to be recorded will reading the script.After the recording was done we uploaded it to the mac and started to use the program final cut. We decided that we wanted some sound effects just like the example of the coco cola ad,so that our ad is grabs the audiences attention. We got the sound effects from a massive media file from the MRC( MEDIA RESOURCES CENTER). It took us ages to look through all the files, we played around we different sound clips like hearing cars and night noises. However none of these sound clips went with the voice over audio, Luckily we came across a file that contained different types of footsteps.By using this type of sound clip it relates to are short film.Once again we looked through the different footsteps that went with the voice over. We used more than one type of footsteps.first the footsteps are slow then the speed builds up this embodies what is actual happening in the film and already gives the listeners an idea that a person is being chased.We used this technique to build up the intensity.
Below is the radio ad :
