Image for my film magazine

I decided to use an image of a character for my film magazine because i believe that the readers would want to find out more about the movie than the actor

1st draft of my film poster

I decided to ask the class to look at my poster so i could improve on details that i needed to, to make it more appealing to the audience.

The image i chose for my film poster

I chose the last image because i found the ripples and the reflection in the water really effective  however i decided to edited it to make it more visible and clear by using 'paint shop pro'

Filming

Our group had a meeting for filming dates. There were a few problems as some of us didn't have the same frees so we had to look at our timetables and agree to certain dates and times, even if certain members of the group were absent we discussed what shots could be filmed with out needing as many people we did this because we needed to take advantage of the cameras use because there are only 2 cameras with 3 groups.

Times that we agreed on:

Wednesday 8th February - Filming in school

Thursday 9th February - Filming in school 

Tuesday 21st February - Filming in school/ filming at a house

Tuesday 28th February - Filming at location of lake

Wednesday 29th February - Filming at location of lake

Thursday  3rd March - Filming at location of lake

Sunday 11th March- Filming at location of a river

Wednesday 14th March- Filming at location of lake- Number of actors needed and props including tent, sign

Monday 19th March- Filming at location of lake

We followed these dates and where we were going to film well, however there were times when we had to cancel filming due to weather and because it was being to dark so we had to re-organsie dates.

5 Pictures of Effective Film Posters.

I find this poster effective because you can see the character is in a uncomfortable position where she looks like she has seen something that has frightened her, it only has one image which is more realistic. The poster consists of titles, names of actors and the date the film realised which is basic.

 I find this horror movie poster effective because the poster emphasises what happens in the film, the long shot of the girl sat on the chair with her hair over her face suggests that she is isolated. The dark shadow around the outside of the poster is very murky which could be a representation of the girl. 

                                                         I relate the film posters titles to our storyboard of our film, 'Eddie is returning' and i think the title 'the past never dies. It kills' also relates into our film because Eddie is coming back from the dead, his poster emphasises that someone is back from the dead.

This poster is an example of another idea of our film, instead of the villain being burnt alive, he was drowned. It only has one image but still looks effective because of the colours on the poster as well as the weapon.

This poster shows the venerability of the girl, her emotions show how nervous and scared she is. The lighting of the poster is dark to suggest the atmosphere but also shows shadowing of light, which could emphasise safety. The poster consists titles and the makers of the film and the films they have previously made in the past which the target audience may be interested in.
