FINDERS KEEPERS FINAL POSTER

FINDERS KEEPERS FILM MAGAZINE REVIEW

 The film magazine review layout  has been completed by sammah and the journalism is being done by both of us

Poster work final day

My mentor didn't like my other idea because it destroyed the beauty of the image. Therefore she told us to try with different background colour. In this image I have tried to add the effect of shadow in my poster in order to remove the blurriness of the white background 

However none of the colours worked so I ended up using the same background of the image.

After removing the small texts, I thought writing reviews could help cover the empty at the background.

 After adding the reviews I played around with all the texts size, font type and how much brightness there should be etc.

This is how my final poster will look. 

Reply for copy right music

One of the music producer has replied me and is happy with us for using his music.

Requesting permission for music to avoid copyright claims

I have contracted the owner of this music soundtrack. But however as there's is no email address I coudn't email them so I wrote on their youtube channel. I'm shortly waiting for their reply. 

Requesting permission for music to avoid copyright claims

For our short film we have used 2 different music soundtrack. The owner for the first music soundtrack we used is called comedy music for film:this music was composed by Adrian Ellis. I have contracted him in his website but if I don't get a response by next month then I will email him. I'm will be waiting for the response shortly.

second day poster work

After removing the designs from the tee-shirt. I have tried to use white colour for all the texts but unfortunately white doesn't suit with all the texts. It could fit into for the main font (title) and for the tagline.

For the tagline I have dried sky blue in order to give more different look and make it stand out because as she's not a famous person , audience will mainly look at the font and the tagline. 

I tried to use light dark pink to see how it looks. With using this colour is that it makes it easy for me to read separately than font and the font is more visible. But this colour doesn't really match with the genre of the film since the film is combination of drama and comedy genre.

 At the end after trying out all the bright colours. The only colour that made it look more attractive and creative is yellow colour. The reason I have used yellow is because it's often considered the brightest and most energizing of the warm colour. It's associated with happiness and sunshine. Plus Yellow highlights danger in q quite unique way rather than black and red.

Yellow in my film poster I believe has given a new different fresh look. This is because yellow connotes danger but happiness at the same time. Thus it suits well to the genre of our film with comedy and drama. Comedy: its a bright sensation uplifting colour. Drama- its a colour which makes you think why is this girl upset /why she's not smiling since yellow brings shines into someone face. It therefore attracks the audience because firstly it indicates danger in happy and sarcastic way . As well as it this bright yellow colour welcomes the audience into the character of precious. As f the yellow could suggests that precious life isn't balanced out ; the font directly links to her facial expression.

 When I first asked my peers how is my poster looking. They mainly said "it looks fine' but they mainly  stated that the background is really empty and there should be something in the background. It will make the poster look less empty.  So in order to see how can I improve it, I tried to use the image of the envelope which didn't work. Then I tried writing small texts "finders keepers" in the background to see how it looks. After writing out all the texts , I joined up all the texts together.  When I finished it my peers really liked my poster and most argued that it's a really unique and distinctive poster.

film poster work =changes to the designs

 For my film poster my mentor stated that to make the background more plane so that the title would be more visible and it will have better chance to stand out

Therefore I have decided to remove the carton shape of heart and the baby boy picture in order to make my film poster more effective and eye -catching. 

To do this I have used clone stamp tool: clone stamp tool  has helped to colour over the the shapes in the jumper. I have decided to use this tool because it  removes the unnecessary part that you don't need. 

I have used clone stamp as  I tried to change the contrast of the image to see how much brightness there should be in order to brighten up the font more. But it turned to be too white so then the brightness and the contrast stayed the same.

 For the type of colour to use I have preferred the  white colour because it stands out throughout the background. And white is quite effective colour  and therefore I believe by using white it will easy in terms of appealing to audience attention. 

Film poster final pictures

As we shooted 50 pictures it was difficult for me to choose which image to use for our final film poster. These are 3 pictures which I have decided to use

Film poster font design

This is how I want the main title of our film poster to look like. I couldn't do it in photoshop but I chose  in paint software to design the font as it made it easier for me to draw the circles the way I wanted.

Film poster : photoshop continuity

For the film poster main title , I wanted the title to be surrounded by circle . The title is highlighted by the circle to show its importance. Its by circle because I want to portray the feeling that there's no way out from this issue: finders keepers.When you take/find something of someone you are now responsible for to keep it safe but for precious it was the opposite.And in our film for precious there's no way out to come out from the danger at the end. 

Update of our print product work

For today's lesson I have helped sammah on deciding the the layout of the film magazine review as both of us were confused with our different ideas for the layout so we decided to stick to our initial ideas: we took few codes and conventions from each of our ideas.
I have started working on photoshop for film poster. But however I'm struggling to choose which image to use as we took for e.g one shot more than once in order to create the perfect picture.
But both of us have made a start on our work and we will finish our work by tuesday.

As you can see sammah has already started working on where should be the pull quotes, main title, headline,images.

 This is the overall layout of our film magazin review
