PLANNING: REVIEW FLATPLAN


PLANNING: MAGAZINE REVIEW

Sight and sound is the magazine that I am going to create a review for.

Research into sight & sound magazine:
  • Sight & Sound is the international film magazine that offers a unique insight into the very best of film culture.
  • Sight & Sound was first published in 1932 and in 1934 management of the magazine was handed to the nascent BFI, which still publishes the magazine today.
  • It publishes its magazines monthly.
  • website- www.bfi.org.uk/sightandsound/



I read some of the reviews to understand the register they have adopted, so I could apply this register to my review.


One review I looked at contained a large photo and 3 coloumns of text.

Their layout was very structured. This review contained little images and again 3 coloumns of text.
I have created a flat plan of my review.

PRODUCTION: FINALISED POSTER & FEEDBACK

So far this is my finished poster, there may be a few last minute slight changes.

PRODUCTION: CREATING A NEW TITLE

 



This is the text I have also created on photoshop, to try the other poster style.


The ideology behind the whole poster is that "less is more". By not giving away the plot it leaves more to the imagination.

PRODUCTION:POSTER FOCUS GROUP FEEDBACK

 
 
I then came across this poster, which I think is more interesting and meets the posters in the middle. The complete title is out of images.


So I created my title in all of the images.

PRODUCTION: THE POSTER

I aim to keep a theme throughout my pieces, so I decided to create a title on Photoshop that I would use in all 3 of my products. 
 I also decided that I would create a few posters and let my focus group decide. I created a Black and White collage out of my photos. I am purposely trying to keep to a theme by using the same colour scheme.
Creating the poster process:

I will ask my focus group which one they prefer. I still am going to edit the text a little bit however the layout is the decision needed to be made.
These are the two posters I have come up with:

I need to create the text at the bottom (containing the production company etc) of the posters to make them more conventional/ professional.

PRODUCTION: CREATING THE TITLE

I need to create a title to establish a theme and use in my other products aswell.
These are the photos I took when filming, I began by turning all of my photos into black and white on iphoto ( as this theme is running throughout) to make it look professional.

On photoshop, I chose a thick bold title which I am happy to use throughout all of my products. As I want to keep a theme/look throughout them.

On a new page, I created a collage of the photos I wanted to use.

This is the collage created out of some of the photos I took.


I then created my title ON PHOTOSHOP.

PLANNING: FILM POSTER FLATPLAN


PLANNING/RESEARCH: FILM POSTER

AIM:
I will show awareness of variety of fonts and size, the choice of title/masthead font could have some sort of impact,  accurate language and register; image and text is integrated, photos manipulated appropriately; material is appropriate to the task set. I will create both products on Photoshop.

1. PLANNING The Poster
Conventions of a Poster:
1. To be eye-catching/captivating
2. To have a focal picture that will be intriguing.
3. To display a large title that is easily read "TWINS"
4.  Suggestion of the film genre.
5.  May use famous actors to promote the film ( mine will have the twins as the actors )
6.  Will attract a target audience.
7.  A tagline is usually evident on the poster.
8.  Age certification usually displayed.
9.  Coming soon or release date displayed.
10.  Directors and Production Company displayed.
I plan to keep the poster within the same theme as the short film and the magazine front cover. I want it to promote the short film and give them an urge to watch it. Something that is ascetically pleasing.

This Poster isn't of a film, however the use of the black and white images really appeals to me. I am using various sets of twins so I could create a poster similar to this.





I have found these posters/images on google. I like the idea of having portraits on the poster (seeing as the film is about people, I need to to encorporate them into the poster). I have taken some good portrait photos I could use that I took when filming.





I saw this effect with photoshop on youtube. I really like it and might try it for my poster. Once I have created the title I will again ask my focus group what they think.
