Poster Ideas - Caroline Robertson

I have drawn up a poster idea on photoshop, but the actual idea should be a photograph as opposed to a drawing. We will shoot our main character in some poster idea poses once location shots have been taken.The colour has been desaturated and the background blurred to fit in with the stereotypical Social Realism iconography. Jack Storer had the idea of using a quote from the monologue as the tagline, and we have decided "It starts off as pointless little arguments" to sum up the film and give prospective audience members an idea of what it is about without giving away the storyline. I have included a Newspaper review, main actor and director names and film award logos to the bottom of the poster to try to make it look more official. We will go on to continue using our poster ideas to develop them into one main idea which will be photographed as soon as possible.

A quick edit - Jack Storer

this is a quick photoshopped image to show the atmosphere and the colouring we will create with our film.

after studying the other posters I came up with this little sketch.

Soundtrack Research - Caroline Robertson

I have booked out a high quality dictaphone after watching the clip from School for life ( Can be seen below in the blog) and have decided to compose some simple piano melodies which we could then go on to edit in garage band to fill out with further sounds and instruments ( mainly strings) which could be possible soundtrack ideas.

Even if they are not used in the final piece it should be effective planning and could inspire further music ideas.

Initial poster research - Jack Storer

I believe that Landscape posters are a lot more artistic and relate a lot more to low budget productions. I have personally noticed this on both low budget film posters and on Indie music advertisements. the above images back up my theory and I want our group to carry this idea accross as it will also relate to the wide screen format we are planning to use.

Film "School of Life",a sad melody with piano and strings begins to play 4 mins 12 seconds into the film, I think that it is the right type of sound, although perhaps at a slower pace so it has a sadder feel as opposed to the thriller type feel it gives in this particular film.
