Pictures continued.











Poster:
These are a selection of photos in which 4 will be entered into my poster, obviously before they are entered they will be rotated and changed into black and white. They are all of children as I feel and is proven from my research are more innocent and pure, like they would harm no one, which defeats the object of my film.


This is what the image has looked like slipped, it has been moved lower down and rotated. All that I have to do is reflect and shade it to make things appear more soft and suttle yet sharp, eye catching and questionable.


This is a almost completed version of my poster, all that I have to do is add the remaining photos in which again will be turned into black and white, via the effects on photoshop, I then shape them into the squares to make it look genuine.
In regards to audience feed back thought the production of the poster, I constantly asked for a range of people opinions peers, friends, other students, fellow teachers and family. This helped me alot as i was given feedback as to what photos to use, the extent of shading and reflections and many more aspects.
Overall I am please with the progress so far, and it will only take me an hour or so to complete. I think that it creates a really disturbing atmosphere which is what I was initially going for and the way it makes things appear ok on the outside but quite troubling on the inside. Plus the style adds to the ornate, overall effect and convention.




These are the first lot of original images I took. They were taken from a photo album were mu family went to Disney land Paris. I thought that these would be excellent photo's to use as they really convey the meaning of family and family bonding etc. In which my film the bondage has been broken, that was once existing. One photo on my poster will have slipped from the album meaning that something is not quite right, one family member is isolated and something rather strange this will be reflected and shaded so it will create a more sleek affect.
The aspect that I am trying to represent, is that everything was 'ok ' at one point, all the family got along, happy days! every thing is relaxed and free etc. And now they one photo (the photo that will be slipped out is pic 2, as you cannot clearly see his face and he looks rather angry etc) meaning that something weird and unusual has occurred.

Here is an example of what i did.
I decided to have it in black and white as i felt things where more dramatic and scenes from when the protagonist is little have appeared in black and white flashbacks as well, also because the only coloured things in my poster is 'Victim', the slogans and the heartbeat and i really want these to be prominent.

Proof of footage & Final Stages.


These are the clips that I imported from the video camera I hired, when a clip wasn't used instead of deleting it, i would place it back on here. On Monday if possible I will try to upload the raw footage as I have learnt to transfer I movie into Quicktime, however this maybe lengthy.



All in all my trailer was finished on Thursday, however I went over everything on Friday ensuring that everything is up to scratch. I checked stuff like:
Voice overs were clear.
Sound levels.
Transitions.
Quality of clips.
Fluency.
Codes and Conventions used.
And if it looked professional or not.
Here is some proof/ evidence that I can say what I did.

Origional Images (Poster)





These are the photos of the family album I obtained. I liked the archaic and traditional aspect of this, the script also creates a very elegant and sophiscated effect. I noticed that I took pictures I could mould them into he 4 slots, although 4 isn't enough so i thought its better to use the double page family album in order to have 8 pictures, so more pictures can be placed, adding more impact.

Progress so far:

As most of my work has not been posted on thee blog yet I will update you in regards to what I have done:

* Started my magazine, due to all progress and stages being saved on my school computer they shall be uploaded tommorow.
* Taken 1 extra scene for my film that will also be inserted tommorow.
*Taken my magazine pictures, which take place in a forest, as this is the main mis en scene of my film.
* Evaluation I have started typing out what I shall say and present.
*Progress of poster.

New poster ideas

After going with my original idea, i realised that as the two half's are completely different i.e features and the structure and size and the head it would not be possible to merge them together, because one would be bigger than the other. Proof of this will be posted at a later day. Hence i have come up with a new idea, a family photo album will be displayed on the poster, with the antagonists family members (also his main targets) except his picture will be teared in half, indicating his separateness from the family. Luckily i have found an old album like this one at home!
