Drafting and planning

From doing a second attempt and trying to find what layout
I want to do I have started to change my mind on certain things.
I am sure that I want to use Tormented where it is and in the font that it is in, also I am happy with the stars names to be in the font that it is in also as it makes them look professional.
I think that with 'The paranoia will destroy you' I would like to use a type of written writing such as the picture to the right where it says 'Trick 'r Treat'.
 Then I have an idea of what I would like to do with the 'From the Director of' and have it in the 'Trash Toys' font that is below. With this font I can use the 'From the director of' with the start of the font that says trash and with the film name I could use the font with the toys so it stands out and looks like the films bigger than it is. I need to try all this stuff out.

Target Audience

I posted a tweet on twitter to ask people what they think about the layout i created and if they thought i used the right fonts and headlines. With the response i got back I think that i am going to leave the fonts how they are however as i thought i am going to change the headlines around to see what works best and to also see what works best with the picture behind making sure that it is not covering anything important up. 

Drafting and planning

Based on what I said in recent blogs, I said that I would like to use this layout for my ancillary product which would be a poster. I have no got a picture yet so it isn't the full thing but just the layout. I am not sure if I like the layout and will try different ones in the future to see if the poster can look better by moving the lines around, adding more stuff or getting rid of other things. 

Drafting and planning

Me and Caitlin have decided that for our ancillary product we are going to use the quote 'The paranoia will kill you'. It relates to the film as the girl is paranoid making the audience have more knowledge. 

Organisation

I have decided that the fonts I am going to use are 28 days later, headline, trash toys and longtime. I will have to make sure that sir is able to download them to make them look more professional and not have a white background behind them. 

Organisation

Me and Caitlin have came to the decision that we are going to call it Tormented.
We have came to this decision because of the target audience response we got back and also it will fit the genre and story line of the movie as she thinks she is getting stalked/tormented by some man.

Target Audience

Me and Caitlin have both posted a tweet on twitter to make sure that we are sure what the audience think is best to call our film. From my target research it shown that the top film title that was chosen was Tormented and this is the same case with Caitlin. This makes us have more of an understanding as its not only one person that has said it, its two. 

Drafting and planning

This is just a layout draft of my magazine product. It just shows the basis of what my ideas are. The magazine mast head that I am going to be using is Little White Lies. The Little White Lies magazine has no titles so I thought from looking at their 'The Black Swan Issue' piece I took some ideas from it and thought I could put the film name over the picture. However with this font I would like to change it and make it thinner too. The image that I want in the background is the main character of the girl in a close up shot from her shoulders. I want the mans hand over her mouth but you not seeing the man. I was thinking of having her with contacts and him with dirty hands/fingernails. This suggests that she hasn't been taking her pills which is in the trailer and he seems dangerous.

Organisation

These are the two people that are going to be in my teaser trailer acting as the girl who is getting stalked and the stalker himself. We thought that we could use the boy Samuel Barnacle as he is very tall and has a certain look that would fit for the role. Also Beatrice Dix is being used because she also fits the girl role that can look innocent at the start however with contacts in could look a bit mysterious.  

  

Target audience

I have posted a tweet on twitter to ask what the audience will think is the best name to call my film. I asked for 3 in order so I know if I cannot have one then I can choose the next one that the audience think is best. The ones that were chosen was Tormented, Stalked and Crazed. These all are one word film titles which I was looking for and find more effective.

                      I have decided that the magazine cover is going to be for Little White lies.

I really like the way the title of the film is over the image and would really like to do something like this. I would like to include a close up image of the main girl character. I think to make it better and more mysterious I would like to do something creative with the man and not have his full image in the photo. Ideas are to maybe have his hands on her shoulder or around her mouth. I thought that with this I could make the finger nails dirty to show that he isn't a pleasant man.

I like the colour effect black and white however I feel with my image that I might need to add colour to the image as if i wanted to use different contact lenses this would show it then. 

Drafting and Planning

       

For my girl character I am going to make her have eye contacts in to show that there's something not right with her. This would be good for the ancillary product as it is going to be a close up shot so can focus on it. 

Me and Caitlin are going to be doing this ourselves so we have went on YouTube and searched a tutorial to help us. This tutorial also helps us with the colours that we want as it shows many of them. We have came up with wanting either a really light colour like the white or bright light blue or the dark colour like black. This will be effective for our product as the eyes will stand out the most. It shows that it's psychological genre rather than slasher as there would be more blood/cuts rather than just the effect of the eye. 

We are going to try this out before doing it for our final product.

Target Auidence

I have recently posted what fonts I would like to use in my ancillary product but couldn't choose from one so I posted a picture to twitter to get feedback from my target audience. 

The first picture shows what font I should choose for my main title of the film and they said the first or second. These fonts are quite similar so I may work with these and see with a draft cover if they work well. I agree with this person and think that the second font might be too similar to the headings on the poster and the last one might be difficult to understand and not bold enough with the photo behind. 

The second picture shows what font I should choose for my main title of the film and the response was the first one. The reason was because it looked professional and would be easy to understand. I definitely would like to use the first one for part of my poster where it shows the characters name however might use one of the others underneath for other lines as they seem bolder and

easy to read also. I would also make my final decision about this when doing a draft piece so I can see what looks better.

I find this poster really effective and the main reason is because of the photo. With my photo I have said that I would like to do the eyes different and have she work on there. This relates to that as you can see one eye is normal and one eye isn't. For me doing this it would relate to my character and probably relates to this one also.

I like the image length and would like to have the same sort of image length in my anciallry product as you can see from the shoulders upwards. This could make the character seem more vaunrable if the shoulders/neck area isn't covered. 

I like the lighting in the photo as it's dark however also has lightness to it. It seems like the background is black but where the photo is it's lighter making it stand out. I will have to really focus on the lighting for my product as I would have to get it right to make sure it looks like the right genre film . 

The title on the poster looks like the fonts I have researched which is '28 days later' and 'trash toys' on dafont.com the title goes with the image as it looks like half of her isn't there and getting blown away and the title doesn't look all there either - relating to what my character will be like which I said. As my target audience says in the blog above that I should use this font I am going to work with it.
