New Filming Schedule

We did a new filming schedule when we realised we were going to change our idea for the trailer. This is a basic outline of when we are filming and what we are doing. We have organsied to do the filmign within 3 days to allow our selves time for editing or anymore filming that needs to be done, if any. Changing our idea has limited our time down, however if we do all of the filming in these 3 days we should be back on track.

Magazine cover layout

For one of our ancillary tasks we have to produce a magazine cover which features our film, this is a good advertising stratagy as it would reach different audiences from film trailers. We chose to name the magazine 'Crosscut' because not only is it a media jargon, it shows that the magazine cuts between different films, it features different genres which shows it has a wide audience. From our reaearch in magazine covers there are multiple puffs around the edges of the cover, which is why we have chosen to mimic this to show that we have used some of the typical conventions. The cover will have the poster cover in the background. Also things such as 'featuring an interview from the cast' are appealing as it gives readers an insight to the film and would entise them into watching the film.

Film poster layout idea #3

This is our third idea of the layout for the film poster. This will have the three girls made up to one face, however this could cause confusion to the audience but we will see what it looks like and if it doesnt look right, we will use three close up photos of their faces in the middle of the poster. If the 3 in 1 face works, inbetween each part of the face the tag line we have used in the other two poster ideas, would go through diagonally. The title appears in the middle of the poster, quite large to draw attention to the name so the audience remembers it. The rest of the poster has small photos of each girl from the film, or in their lives, this brings a photo journal theme to the poster, which isn't a typical poster convention, so we thought it would be quite good to experiment with being different. In three of the corners the three problems that the women have will be spelt our with hand letters of a black silouhettes to show this. The background of the poster will be an unfocused photo of a winter landscape - this is typical of a film poster to have a picturesque landscape to create the right atmosphere. 

Film poster layout idea #2

This is our second idea, which also focuses on the faces to show the emotions - a typical convention of this genre. We had the idea to split the poster with a jaggered line to show that the 3 girls worlds are falling apart. The jaggered line will have a gap in between with the tag line of '3 women, 3 lives, 3 problems' running diagonally through the middle. The graphology of the poster will be the upper section of the jaggered line in full colour, and the bottom half in black and white, apart from the title which would be in coloured writing. The title of the film will stretch across the bottom of the poster (instead of the tagline shown). The casting names will be on the bottom of each photo in bold, also having the names above the film title shows that the actresses could be A list stars.

Film poster layout idea #1

This is the first idea of the poster layout. This will have the three protagonist women's faces around the title of the film. The shots would be extreme close ups to show the emotions in their faces, which will portray that the film in the genre of social realism. There will be a plain white background to point all of the focus on the three women. The tag line of '3 women, 3 lives, 3 problems' would be positioned in the right hand corner as from research other film posters shows that this is a main convention. Another typical convention is to have the actor/actresses name above the film title - IF the stars are big enough and can demand this sort of treatment. Using well known actresses (which we have tried to convey that our actresses are) will bring a wider target audience to the film.
