Final Review

This is the final version of my review:

 

 

What I've Changed:

• I have added the photo in place of the blank box. I like the image because it doesn't give too much away, though this doesn't really matter because the review does anywhere, but you can see that the film is clearly going to be about a couple.
• I have rearranged the synopsis at the bottom just to make it fit the shape of the box more than it previously did.
• As well as this I have also made some slight changes to my review after getting some feedback from my teacher. You can see this in a previous post.

Final Poster

This is the final version of my poster:

 

What I've Changed:

• I have changed the photo to a photo I took this weekend when shooting the short.
• I have moved the reviews down slightly more so they don't cover Joe too much.
• I have moved the title/strapline so they don't cover Joe's face.
• I have changed the colouring of the photo of me so the difference between the two images aren't as dramatic which they originally were due to the difference in lighting.

Filming Update

Photos

While filming this weekend, Jayme and I took some photos to use on our reviews and poster. Here are my photos:

I think these two photos are taken two far away, a medium-close up shot would probably be better than a long shot. You can't see Joe's face.

I like the shot type of this photo. The space on the left hand side leaves space for the photo of the woman. The fact he is looking to the left also adds to this because when the other photo is layered over top, it will look like he is looking at her.

I like this shot for the review. The couple holding hands shows the film is a romance; it's a typical shot for the romance genre. However, the first shot cuts of Joe's head and has people in the background but I like the second photo and think it will work well.

Film Poster Part 6

Apart from the background image, which I will most likely change to a lighter photo, but will be a similar photo of James in the background, this is my finished poster. I have included all the logos of the companies/film festivals involved as well as adding the catch line to the poster, under the title.

Film Poster Part 5

I have changed my poster a lot since yesterday as I was having trouble choosing a background to use.

 

• I have changed all of the details from the poster to opposite sides.
• I have added a blurred photo of James in the background. However, I haven't decided if this photo that is going to stay as I think it is too dark for the poster. I might take some still shots when shooting the final scenes to use as the background. I have just used this photo as an idea.
• I have changed all the font to white to make sure it can be seen on the poster.
• I have started to had some logos of brands that could have been associated with the short film, for example Film 4. Here I will also be including the film festival award/logo here.

Review Part 4

This is the final draft of my review, apart from the fact that it doesn't include an image. The image will be taken when filming the final scenes as I will take along a stills camera with us to take the photo.

I have expanded my review to make it fit the columns fully. As well as this, I have been able to get the text to wrap around the red circle by making the circle in Photoshop and saving it as a JPEG. This got around the problem I was having of the text in the circle wrapping instead of the large blocks of text wrapping.


I have added the names of the director and editor etc. to the credits at the bottom after discussing with Jayme the names we would use.
