WELCOME, MODERATOR

Welcome moderator! I am Bryn Williams 9156 and I worked entirely on my own.

I hope you enjoy my blog, which contains my work on my G324 Advanced Portfolio. I chose brief 10, a short film which I named GOTCHA as well as my two ancillary products, a film poster and a radio trailer. 

The research, planning and final ancillary products are in  individual 'pages' above.
My four evaluation questions are also above.

POSTER

When making the final design for my poster I opted to make a design which positioned the boy as in control. To start I chose a font which was appropriate for the film. I then decided to put an image of the three girls into the letters. The girls are all looking up (which will be where the boy is) creating a sense of distrust towards the boy.

Here I added the picture of the boy. I positioned him so it appears as if he is leaning on the word 'Gotcha'.  He is then seen as the person the girls are looking at. He is positioned with a smile to make him appear slightly smug and proud of himself which matches the character he plays in the film.

Here I changed the font of my tag line to make it more casual. I added the twitter, Facebook and Instagram symbols. Then finally made the 'Coming July 2015' match the colour of the boys tie to make it stand out.

I repositioned the social media symbols. I also added a silhouette of 2 martini glasses and a beer glass as they are used in my film. I positioned them in the open space under the tag line. This is my final poster for my short film.

CONSTRUCTION: FILMING FINAL SCENE

When viewing my original filming of this scene I noticed that the lighting was to dark so I had to refilm with better lighting

POSTER: INITIAL IDEAS

This is the original picture taken which I planned to use

At first I planned to place the main characters on a white background. However, on photoshop it was difficult to precisely isolate the characters.

CONSTRUCTION: TEXT MESSAGES

Originally, I tried to make the the texts come up on the screen in an imessage style. However, when doing this because i was adding layers over the original video which affected the colour of the original image.

 Therefore, instead of using the imessage bubbles I opted for text on the screen. This allowed the colour of the film to remain the same and still allow the message of the text to be passed onto the viewer.

PLANNING: PHOTOSHOP

Today I spent some time practicing using Photoshop. A possibility for my poster is to have a picture of the man with within his torso. Therefore, I tried to practice doing this on Photoshop. As you can see from the picture below, alignment of the image of the girls is difficult however, it is possible to do.
