PLANNING: CREATING OUR FILM POSTER

This is a collection of different movie posters where I can use some ideas from them and incorporate them into my final movie poster. These are other ideas of ways that I can compose my movie poster and also different techniques and tools I can use when creating my final movie poster.

In the Moonlight poster (top left) I plan to experiment with using different colours on the final edit of my movie poster. In the 71 posters I am going to use the technique of putting an image within another image, or inside the title of the movie. In the Total Recall Poster I might expoeriment with different editing styles on the main image of the poster. In this poster you can see an effect going out of the back of the main character as if he is breaking apart. Finally, the last convention I might use within my movie poster is editing images of the characters in different sizes just like they have done with the Getaway poster but with a car as the main images as well.

RESEARCH: FILM ESCAPE - CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT

We decided to interview our characters, to get to know them. We got our inspiration from what we learnt from a blog called Film Escape. This screenshot is from the website called Film Escape, and is on this post Charlie Sierra writes about a man called Pen Densham who is an Oscar nominated film maker who has made 16 Feature Films. Pen Densham uses the technique of questioning his characters in order to get to know them better. This way he can learn how the characters work which allows Pen Densham to understand each character when filming a feature film. Questioning the characters means that Pen Densham can understand their personalities as well as the way they work. 

Our interview included the main characters being questioned about how they feel about the situation they have been put into and what happened along the way. This questionnaire and interview was to find out and further develop our character's personalities so that they are easy to understand when we release our film trailer.

Here you can see the interview where military personnel interviews two of the boys after the attack has occurred...
