PRODUCTION OF AUXILIARY TEXT

FILM POSTER

In order to create my film poster I first had to create a new document on Photoshop C3, the measurements of the document I made was 35cm by 50cm, these measurements enabled me to replica the shape and size of a real film poster.

After creating the document I then made the logo for my film, and decided to use it as the film poster, the simplicity of the image suited my style of film as well as this the black and white image of polaroids, which makes up the text stands out boldly against the white background. 

After making and scaling my logo to a size which best suited the size of the poster, I then positioned it in the middle of the page.As the only image it was important for it to be central, therefore attracting the audiences attention.  Once happy with the placing, I used the Text Tool to write the names of those that had  featured within the film, this concept of putting important peoples name along the top of the poster is a convention that it seen on nearly all film posters, regardless of genre. The font which I used was Helvetica Light, as it looked professional and clear, as well as this from previous research it was evident that many already establishing brands used this typography.

Also through the research process, I noticed that most posters included the stars they were rewarded, this is a way of  appealing to an audience, as it highlights the quality of the film. As well as this I added a slogan/tag line underneath the focal image, this would assist in attracting my audience.

In order to complete my poster I put the season in which the film will be out as well as a website, hopefully people would go on the website after seeing the trailer if this genre and topic of film appeals to them. Overall I kept my poster simple, keeping to the colour scheme of black and white the poster would stand out as well as conform to conventions of this genre of film poster. 

FILM MAGAZINE FRONT COVER 

In order to create the front cover of my Film Magazine I first decided what would be my focal images,  I chose make up as it had connotations to the idea of beauty which is heavily associated with the modeling industry. Furthermore my documentary aims to show the girls behind the make up, unwrapped, therefore the chosen image has associations with this concept. I did not just want an image of ordinary make up, so instead I drew make up products, once finished I took a photo and uploaded it to Photoshop.

Once uploaded I cropped the images and placed them side by side so there appeared to be a row of make up. Once satisfied with where they were positioning, I adjusted the colour of the image with the'Fill Tool' as well as this I changed the brightness and contrast as this enabled my image to appear more defined and of a better quality. 

During the stages of producing my Magazine cover, It was essential for me to find an image of the lettering of total film, once found I copied the font style and placed it at the top of my magazine, so the brand name was obvious to any audience member.

CHOSEN ANCILLARY PRODUCTS

As well as my Trailer, I will also produce a FILM POSTER and a FILM MAGAZINE FRONT COVER, as my chosen ancillary products.

LOCATIONS

During Filming in order to gain the footage I needed I filmed in various places.

SELFRIDGES LONDON

LEIGH ON SEA

CUT FOOTAGE/IMAGES

During the stages of filming and editing my footage, there was some images and clips that I later decided to not put into my final trailer, the reasoning for this, was due to the quality of the visuals. Throughout the duration of the filming stage I had to use various cameras, the video camera which I did my interview on was of a much better quality than the video cameras I have previously used. Therefore when I put all the footage together there was a noticeable difference in the quality of the footage, in an attempt to make my piece look professional I therefore cut the weaker quality footage, in order for my piece to look skillful and coherent. 

BLACK AND WHITE

In order to change my clips from colour to Black and White, I had to use the colour correction tools on  iMovie'08.

• If you select a clip in your project, you can make colour changes by hitting the letter "V" on your keyboard or by clicking the "Adjust Video" button.
• This will bring up the "Video Adjustments" window, which really is just about correcting the colour in your video clips.
• To make a clip look Black & White, we need to first make changes to the Saturation settings for the clip. Saturation is just a measure of how vibrant the colors are. 
• Drag the saturation slider all the way to the left and watch all the color wash out.
• Then you adjust the Contrast in order to change the brightness of the black and white, this enables the overall image/clip to appear more defined

MY SELECTED SONG

The XX - Heart skipped a beat - to play in background of my documentary film, the reasoning as to why I choose this specific song is that I believe its pace and style will compliment my genre and topic of film.

MUSIC

Music is a very commonly used technique in documentaries. the music nearly always relates in some way to the imagery on the screen at the time, and sets the mood for the visuals. Overall the music in the Documentary is a representation of the mood of the trailer or subject of the film. 


Music which is used in existing Documentary films.

The September Issue



Bill Cunningham - New York
Paul Reeves' 'Swingin' Out'

Page One - Inside the New York Times
The music featured in the trailer for this specific film is instrumental, by having this style of music, it acts as a background sound to the dialogue in the trailer.

LOGO FOR MY PRODUCT

The images below are the logos I have chosen to represent my brand, in order to ensure that my final piece will appeal to my target demographic, I will ask my focus group for feedback on each image, form this feedback I will be able to note which image they believed best suited. 

PLANNING 25 WORD PITCH

MOOD BOARD

IMAGES

In order to gain further insight into the FASHION INDUSTRY, but most predominantly the MODEL INDUSTRY, I used online social networking sites such as TUMBLR, to research images relating to my chosen topic. Through viewing and analyzing these specific images I was able to understand the conventional ways in which the fashion world was documented.
