My Film Poster Mock.

I have decided to draw a mock drawing for a film poster for our film, Exodus. 

Film Poster

For this task, i was told to reasearch a current poster for a film that has been made and annotate the important aspects and areas that relate to your genre.

The general codes and conventions of film posters are

To have a focal picture that will entice given demographic of target audience.

To display a large title that is easily read.

Coming soon or release date displayed.

May use famous actors to promote the film.

Suggestion of the film genre.

A website is increasingly displayed on film posters

A tagline is usually evident on the poster.

Directors and Production Company displayed.

Age certification usually displayed.

 



Animatic.

On final completion of the Storyboard, shot list and script, we made an 'Animatic.'

An animatic, is a video, which shows all your shots put together, like a mini film, with a voice over placed upon it.

This means we can view what our film will be like.

I photographed all the photos, and edited them in Final Cut Express, a program used on a Mac.

Adeel & I recorded the voice overs.

Animatic

Once Ryan & Adeel had completed the storyboarding, i took the photos of all the pictures, and put them into an Animatic.

Adeel & I recorded the voice over, and i was responsible for editing, and synchronising the whole Animatic. 

The image shows a screen shot using Final Cut Express, during the process of editing. 

Locations

In our film, there is a scene that shows Eddy, Parham and Alex walking down the road. On the other side of the road they meet Tyreece. This image below shows the type of location where we would be inclined to film. A quite residential road, with not too much traffic, so it would't interfere with our filming. 

We also need to film in a cafe. This is a picture of a Costa Coffee. Although we doubt we will be able to film in this exact location. This is the type of location of where we would like to film.

This video shows an idea that i had to portray isolation.

I saw a video in which a boy had straped a tripod with a camera placed upon it  to his chest. it gives the effect shown in the video above.

I thought this would be a very effective way of showing the audience how nervous and isolated the actor could be. 

In order to see if this works we needed to take a practice shot, this shows he results.
