Extra Scenes

We have decided as a group to capture more scenes of Lucas before he gets to the train station we feel this will set the scene more for our audience. We have decided to capture footage of Lucas in his morning routine before he leaves for the train station, this helps to create a sense of reality because most of our film has a fantasy element to it; flashing forward. We intend to capture the following shots; Lucas getting up, brushing his teeth, washing his face, choosing his outfit, having a cup of tea and then lastly leaving the house. When we edit this scene together we will put together small clips and place it in between parts of the time lapse this will bring together the train station and Lucas's life.

Pictures Edited Together

Here is our two images edited together i think the outcome is really good; i think this image is very affective however as a group we have decided we do not want the back ground images so the next step is to edit the image again in photoshop to get rid of the background..

Poster Pictures




These are the two images we are using for our new poster idea; these images have come out really well luckily it was sunny on the day we decided to take these pictures. We took a number of images of Lucas in both these outfits so we had a lot to choose from. As a group we have decided these two are the ones and therefore these will be the ones we edit together for our poster. In the successful life we have decided to have Lucas looking away and sat tall with good posture convey serious, business man actions and then in the family orientated life he is completely the opposite he is slouched in casual clothes with a smile showing him looking happier and more relaxed. We are using Photoshop series 8 to edit the images.

Changes To Our Poster

After looking at this poster we have decided to change our idea again as it doesn’t look as affected as we had hoped. We recently took more photographs of our protagonist wearing casual and smart clothes sat on a bench; this is because our new poster will feature Lucas sitting on the left side of the bench in his suit and on the right side of the bench in casual clothes. We feel this will have the same affect as our second idea but hopefully will look less amateur.

Costume


These are the two seperate images we are going to use for our poster. However we were unable to get access to a tripod when we were taking these images so we tried our best to keep the camera in the same place however looking at the two images you can see the camera has been moved slightly. We will do our best to line the images up when editing them together in Adobe Photoshop.

Idea Changes To Our Film Poster

We had originally decided for our film poster that we were going to have our main protagonist standing on crossroads of a train this was to convey the story of our film and to show that is about making decisions. The reason we have decided to change this idea is because we are unable to find a suitable location to capture the photo. Our new poster idea still features our main protagonist but this time we have one half of him wearing a suit reflecting his business life and the other side of him he will be dressed in casual clothing reflecting the family orientated life.  This poster will still reflect the two different lives and the two decisions. We understand that this poster may be difficult to produce as we will be using 2 separate images; this means that when we take the photo we need to make sure we keep the camera and the actor in exactly the same place. We will edit the image in Adobe Photoshop.

Reseach Into Posters

The poster is plays a very important part when it comes to marketing and distributing a film as it will attract an audience. Therefore it is important that our poster is appealing and interesting but also reflect the storyline of our film. Our initial idea for our poster is to include our main protagonist and have him reflecting the two lives in our film. Our poster will also in the title, tagline, our production name and our actor’s name. We have looked at posters that directly relate to our film such as 'Sliding Doors' and 'Memento' but I'm going to look at a wider range of posters to get more inspiration for our film.
Whatever Works Poster
Eventhough our film is not of the genre we have decided we would like our main protagonist as the main feature on the poster. I like this poster as it is simple and straight to the point; his body language reflects the name of the film. When we look at him we can see him strugging his shoulders showing he does really care what happens hense the film being call 'Whatever Works'. The white background really makes the images stand out.

Definitely Maybe - Poster
This poster relates to our films because it also feature chioces and decission making. Also the main protagonist is the focus point of this poster; we are hopeing to use our main protagonist as the main image on our poster. From this poster we can tell there is romance feature in this film. Our film intersection also involves romance and decissions therefore when it comes to producing our poster we can use this poster as insperation to help convey the same messages.

Atonement - Poster
I like this poster, the layout is similar to sliding doors however instead of using the same protagonists to convey the two storylines 'Atonement' using two protagonists to show the two stories. I also like how the two people in the poster are looking in different dirrections. The tagline on this poster really bring the image together as an audience we understand more about the film then we do from first glance. We could incorperate this by using 2 images og Lucas one of him in his successful life and one of him in his family orientaed life and position them in a similar way one on top of the other.
