Poster Progress



We showed this poster to a number of  poople and asked for feedback, below is the list of comment we revieved:


Positive:
  • Liked the bench feature as it is shows the 2 lives.
  • Reflects the plot of our film really well.
  • Like the suttle image of the train station in the background as it shows that it is an important scene in our film.
  • Like how the background isnt white of plain the train station makes it look much more interesting. 
  • Liked how the bench was at the foreground as it makes it stand out and it is the main focus of the poster.
  • Good font used for 'Intersection'
Negative:
  • The hairline of the image of the actor on the left needs to be edited more as it looks poor.
  • Maybe remove the black colouring behind title
  • Maybe devide the page down the middle to show the seperate lives.
Its good to see that most of the feedback from our poster is positive and that people think that it reflects the storyline really well and the the train in the background doesnt take the main focus away from the protagonist on the bench. We have taken the negative feedback into consideration. We agree that the image on the left does need to be edited more and therefore this will be our next step.

Working On Our Poster

Last Day Of Filming

We have decided to reshoot part of the train station scene on Sunday. After all of the problems we have faced with this section we have planned each of ourshots we need in great detail and therefore we hope that once we watchedour footage back we would have captured all the footage we need.

The only problem we may face with this scene is the dialogue because the last few times we filmed at the train station we found that the noise of the train was over powering and we were unable to hear our non-diegetic sound. As we have filmed extra scenes that will be arranged before the train station we have decided the train station scene doesnt have to be as long and we do not need as much dialogue as we had origionally planned.

Once this scene has been reshot all our filming wll be completed and we can concentrate on editing our short film, as a group we will also make diegetic music to play alongside our footage' as we dont have much dialogue in our film the music is a big part and will help to reflect the mood of our film.

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.
