Unappropriate Image

After having a conversation with my teacher, Sophie and myself found out that the original image we wanted to use of Sophie looking directly at the camera with her mouth covered in duck tape would be too distressing for the audience and would most likely not get through the sensors.

As we originally based our layout on the Antoment and Avatar posters (seen below) we didn't make our poser conventional to our genre. In order to overcome this we have searched for posters from our genre to get ideas of conventional features.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Practise poster for the film

This is the first draft of the poster advertising our film. As we are undecided on the name of the film yet we have just placed in the ones we like best, however the layout just varies. When we are definite about the name of the film, we will put in place as to where the one is now.

This is the first draft. We have chosen to add two images of the pedophile and the innocent girl who gets 'snatched' by the man. For this reason, we think 'SNATCHED' would make an appropriate title. The use of capitals portrays ideas that the title is being shouted out and helps to reinforce the tension and distress the film conveys. It is unfinished as the font for 'Never Look Back' needs to be changed and the shade of colour may be too dark. 

This is the second draft we created for the poster of our film. This one is just called 'SNATCH' because we feel that it gets straight to the point. We have only just one image in this poster as we think it looks effective by giving the reader direct eye contact making the audience feel the distress and pain that the girl is feeling too.

This is the same as above however we have just 'darkened' the whole poster to make it look more dull in order to fit the mood of the short film.

This edit is very similar to the one above however we have made the picture a little bit dark by editing it in IPhoto and the colour of the font has changed.

Possible names

Below is the brainstorm of film names we came up with for our short film.In the bottom left hand corner are also some tag lines that we came up with.
We felt that doing this was a good idea as it enabled us to see a selection of names and selectively chose which one was best for our film.
As we like the name 'Taken' we searched it in a thesaurus and ideas stemmed from there. Unfortunately we cannot use 'Taken' as that is used for a film.

Briefs

"A short film in its entirety, lasting approximately five minutes, which may be live action or animated or a combination of both, together with both, together with two of the following three options:

1. a poster for the film
2. a radio trailer for the film
3. a film magazine review page featuring the film"

                                                               

Sophie and myself have chosen to do this brief with the subsidiary tasks of a poster for the film and a radio trailer.
