Final film poster

Magazine Research

in our group we had to come up with a magazine name. we had thought long for a suitable title which would grab peoples attention and in the end we came up with three diffrent possibilities which where 'your films', 'lights, camera, action' and 'showtime' after talking and getting audience feedback we felt that 'showtime' would be best.

Editing Process

this here is the screen of Adobe Premier Pro. down the left column is a list of all different scenes that we have filmed. the screen on the top right shows us each individual section of footage and on the screen on the right is the edited footage we can take. below both the screens is the timeline and we can order in what each piece of footage is played and at what time.

we started by uploading all of our footage that we had filmed from the recorder to the Apple Mac and then we put it into Adobe Premier Pro. once we had done this we would be able to watch each scene and decided what was good and what was bad. we was then able to delete all of the bad bits of footage that we would not use.

we would have one piece of footage at a time and we would use the cutting tool to cut the footage to the right size and how we liked and we then linked it to other scenes. we edited the scenes to go together well so that the trailer would have a professional look to it. we would then have to put it all in the right order so that the trailer can be made.

once all the footage was in place it was time to bring in the music. to do that we had to use a website to change the songs to the right format to use with Adobe Premier Pro, and once this was done we had to put the tense music with the tense scenes and the fast paced music with the fast paced editing. once this was done we had our film trailer complete.

Initial designs

Analysis of magazine covers

the magazine here is 'Total Film'. as you can see the main movie which is being reviewed is 'Shutter Island' and its picture is taking up the whole of the magazine cover. the main colour scheme being used in the image is blue, therefore everything else is in a big red font or red boxes. still though the main USP is the image stating that this is a special image on 'Shutter Island'.

the image continues to go over the masterhead of the magazine but not over the other contents which are in the magazine. this shows us that the magazine still wants to show off what else it has inside of the magazine.

Analysis of film posters

this here is a very simple yet very effective film poster. we can very clearly see the film title and the main character of the film in this poster. this is something that we would like to do also on ours because we want it very effective and eye catching. we can see the character is wearing a suit and this shows that he has power and also he is holding a gun which shows danger and from this we can distinguish that this is a action genre film. the colour scheme is very basic and even dull, but i think this is used so you will concentrate more on the character and his gun. it also has a date when the film will be released and a website, we will need to include these in our poster. it also has the names of the companies which were used to make and produce this film, this is another factor we must include when it comes to making our poster.

Re-shooting

we had to re-shoot a part of the film that we did not like. the first part we shot was when the boss gives the villain orders, the first time was not good enough because we did not symbolise that the boss had the power very well, so therefore we re-shot. the second scene we re-did was when two characters were talking in front of a big green wall, this was just by coincidence and we did not want to send of wrong signals so we re-shot this scene to wearing the same clothes and using the same speech.
