Evaluation on the filming of the trailer and the trailer itself

When it came to filming i new what i wanted, i believe i was a good director by getting the actors to do the things i wanted and achieve the shots that i wanted to include in my film. I created some good shots in a set that was not ideal for the film that i was trying to achieve but due to the weather was the most conveniant place to meet and film. i managed to film lots of material so that i did not need to come back and film again. the tag lines i included were changed slightly when i edited the film and sore the images that came before the tag lines.

the editing of the film was hard as we used a different editing software, this meant i had to learn how to use it whilst going along. I had alot of material filmed and when it came to editing i new alot had to go due to the fact it was a teaser trailer and only supposed to last between 1 minute and 1 minute 30. I think that the film that is left after all the editing is good and i have managed to put in alot of diffenrt shots and ways of using the tag lines.

the mise-en-scene in my film is somthing i though about and decided should be as natural as possible. The clouths that they wear are what they would every day and the set is somwhere not considered different. i wanted it to be like this because when u see the fight scene and at the end with the man tied to the radiator it shocks because the audience does not expect it.

Evaluation of planning of project

The planning of my trailer was a long process and i believe it was effective as i found it easy to come up with ideas and bring them together to create what i believe is a trailer that uses ideas i have not used before like the tag lines. I think in my planning i have considered alot more compared to previous projects that i have created and so my film being better.

I have had difficulties in creating what i planned to create due to the heavy snow the country experianced in january. this has led to decisions being made on the spot like where i was going to film. i believe that i have dealt with these issues well and still managed to produce a good project.

I can see improvement to the planning stage of my project after out side viewing like how i could have added story boards and planned for the bad wether. But with the limited time i had because of the snow and producing it by myself i believe i have done a good job.

As a class we viewed each others work and gave our opinions on how the trailers we produced were effective and how they were not effective. Advise was given on the things we had improved on and things that could be improved on in the trailer. I am giving my view on how i think the hole project went at 4.10 in video 2 also the class gives its feedback on my trailer and how well the production was.

My Magazine

I have created my magazine front cover after many attempts, this is because i wanted the writing to be in the most effective place on the magazine so to attract a wide ranging audience. I have used the same picture that i used in my poster to get the picture in peoples minds. The font size i have changed for different advertisments this is to achieve a break up of all the different aspects of the magazine. The colour of the font i have mixed up to as well so to be stiking and for the viewer to realise it is something different.

I have added the Empire logo as all the magazines advertise this well and it is an established well known film magazine which is where i want my film to be. The barcode at the bottom is usually on the magazine so i have added it to show that it is not a poster. My film title is the biggest and at the top in its own colour to stand out from the rest of the pieces on the magazine, this shows that the main part of the magazine is my film and that i think is shown well.

Creating my magazine front cover

I have viewed many magazines and they are all busy with infomation to attract the audience in many different ways. i have also analised some magazines which which hopfully will help with my magazine. They often use the same picture in the poster as they do in the magazine, this means the public is exposed to the same image which is more likely to stick in the head and be remembered. my magazine is going to follow the same principles that all other do and give more infomation than just mine to the public. It will not be as stiking with its picture and will be more crampted than the poster.

This is my poster i have created. i believe that the picture is great as it is shocking due to the fact someone is pictured tied up on a radiator. The picture grabs peoples attention and the close up allows you to see into the eyes of the character which are looking right at the audience. The writing i have placed on the poster is red as yet again i want it to grab the audience and this is a perfect colour because it clashes with the poster making it stand out and allows the reader to view it clearly and remember it better.
I have only placed Three lines of writing this is because i don't want the poster to be crowded and have the reader confused or not pick up the vital points that i want to convey in this poster. The reason i have chosen to put the title at the bottom of my poster is because i believe more people will view it there. I have placed the date on the right of the poster as it allows the picture to be viewed much clearer and the it is written down to get the reader to view the title of the film as well.

Creating my poster

Having viewed many posters produced from big film releases and others that i have seen my class mates producing i have a good idea of what i want mine to look like. My idea is for the poster not to look to busy but for the image to be striking and get people to look at it and the release date of the film. This i believe is key for a small silm maker as reseach shows that people only look at poster for a few second and they only take in a little bit ofr the info that is on the poster. The image that i am going to put in my poster is going to be from the film and one of the main characters.
