The Absolute Final Full Length Trailer

The Absolute Final 30 Second Trailer

The Absolute Final 10 Second Trailer

Magazine Front Cover Final

This is the final version of my film magazine front cover. The only difference compared to the last edit is that the background has been blurred slightly in order to bring the main image forward. Overall it's a decent outcome.

Film Poster Final

This is the final outcome of my film poster. Everything has pretty much stayed the same compared to the last edit. The main differences are the change in layout, which spreads the quotes and awards out meaning it doesn't appear as cluttered towards the bottom. Then there is the text/subheading to the film poster "ONE SACRIFICE  UNLIMITED POSSIBILITIES" I wanted something short and snappy that was easily recognisable when heard and not giving the reader too much to read when they see the poster. Other minor tweaks include the date at the bottom matching that of the movie title, the reason behind changing the font is because the font used before was not a font I frequently used through my ancillary texts and main product therefore it stood out too much. Now the date feels apart of the final product. Altogether I am happy with where my poster has ended up compared to where I was when I began creating it.

Audience Feedback Questionnaire

In order to get some decent audience feedback I have compiled a questionnaire for several people to answer. This will help me with my evaluation and determine whether or not what I have created has had a positive outcome. 

Film Poster, almost finished.

I decided to change the main image for the film poster as I felt the emotion on the characters face did not portray the mood of the film and looked too negative for anyone to want to be interested in it. As for the background issue I have blurred it in order to make the front image stand out. As for the other pictures of the protagonist, changing the opacity has shown the different stages of the character in the movie. They are not the main images but still add to it dramatically, without them the poster would look empty and there would be no progression from one to the other thus leaving no sense of enigma for the audience to think "how did he go from that, to that?" 

It is definitely on its way however I may want to think about changing the layout and possibly some of the text on the poster, that way I can have a more filled out poster that looks more believable as an actual product. 

10 Second Trailer

The 10 second trailer surprisingly proved to be quite difficult because there is such a small time limit it left me using hardly any of the main narrative. However, I chose to use the drinking scene for my 10 seconds trailer because, as bad as it may sound, since my trailer is aimed at an audience aged between 15 - 18 I figured I would use the vibrant drinking montage to grab their attention and highlight something they may be interested in. The editing techniques used are same as that used in the main trailer, therefore there is reference to the full thing but this particular part of the narrative is a big moment that the fans will look forward to watching. 

Final tweaked version, complete trailer!

The trailer is finally complete! Compared to last time I have altered the sound slightly although I don't think there is much of a difference and the final scene has been updated a little more. I gained inspiration to use a black and white effect on some of the clips from when I edited my 30 seconds trailer. This shows how what he is seeing is a flashback. Other effects such as 'ghosting' has been added to the drinking scenes and the final scene. This is to imitate the idea that the protagonist is under the influence and is able to move straight let alone think straight. The trailer has taken some time to get to this point and I believe with extra footage and more time dedicated to it I would have been able to create something more impressive, however I am still pleased with what I have done. 

30 Second Film Trailer

Another part of our brief was to make not only a 1:30mins trailer but also a 30 seconds and a 10 seconds trailer. This is my 30 seconds and it uses a lot of the same features and sequence as the 1:30 mins trailer but it is a little more condensed. I am quite happy with how this has turned out because it quickly gets the main points of the film in, in the short space of time given.  

Film Poster Tweaked Version.

I decided to enlarge my images of my front cover and it seems to have made some improvement but not a lot. Yet again, a problem with the background, similar to that of the film magazine, is that it looks too sharp and it not making the main images stand out enough. Before I create a finished product this is an issue that needs addressing. 

Film Magazine More Developed Draft!

The magazine is beginning to look more like a finished product. When asking for feedback I was made aware that the background is too sharp for the magazine and it is making it seem like that is the main image, this maybe a reason as to why the actual main image is not looking quite as smooth as it could. 

The text and coverlines have improved, they are much easier to read now and are of a font that is not plain and boring and is one that can also be featured on my poster. The masthead has changed again however this time I am going to stick with it. The reason being is because although there is nothing much to it, it looks a lot more appealing than simple 'Arial' font in plain black. It also shows recognition from mastheads such as 'Empire' where there is nothing much to it but it's still effective.

Film Poster Second Draft

Compared to the last attempt at a film poster, this one has altered quite a fair bit. The images before did not work very well, so I have used the new set of images to allow me to make a more refined poster. The post still feels empty as though there isn't enough there. The actor in the poster needs to be enlarged as well as the text needs to be easier to read. A lot of work is still required.

Film Magazine Front Cover

Here we have a newer version of the film magazine. The basic layout, house style and general look of the magazine has stayed the same however, the font has changed in order for the coverlines to be more eligible as well as the masthead. However, the coverlines are still not looking perfect and will still need tweaking, and as for the masthead, even though it is no longer of an abstract nature, it is too plain and really brings the rest of the magazine down. This will be something I have to work on. The main image works with the magazine however due to the original image not being the best of qualities and the airbrushing I have done it has left it looking a bit blurry. 

Film Trailer 95% there.

After many edits my trailer is starting to look like a finished product! I am happy with how this is beginning to turn out. It is obvious there are still somethings that need tweaking in my trailer, the sound of the music is a little too loud for the dialogue and the ending when the protagonist is walking to the door needs to have something more to it to make it a little more appealing. Overall, it is on it's way and I am happy with it. 

More developed trailer.

The trailer has not altered that much from my previous edit, I have simply returned to the original trailer and then added in the changes. Altogether it is look fairly promising, when I fill in the blanks and get the rest of my footage and text I can see this will be a decent outcome. However, I think I will pursue to develop the original therefore I have 2 alternate trailers, one that follows the narrative a little more and one that is more of a montage. The reason for that being is because I am getting mixed reviews for them both and therefore I will develop the two so that when it is finally a finished product I will know which one works best. 

Alternate Introduction to Film Trailer

At the start of the trailer I have used the same narrative as the original however this time I have decided to add the lottery scene as well in order to create a more of a montage trailer rather than a 'short film-like' video. I believe it works in some ways however in my opinion I don't believe it fits together very well...

New Images

After getting feedback on my ancillary texts, it was made apparent to me that the images I have previously taken were not to a great standard due to them being fairly blurry. Therefore, I have taken a selection of new images that I hope will be more effective.
