Project Plan
This is another upload of my project plan. some of the tasks took l;onger then anticipated such as the filming and editing. It was useful to have this project plan as it allowed me to consider what needs to happen, hwoever sticking to it became a bit of a problem.
final poster, website, teaser and teaser page
Etch from St Marylebone Media Studies on Vimeo.
This is the final draft of my poster and website. The layout for my poster has changed slightly since the last draft which I came up with. I tried to make this poster more exciting and thrilling by the layout and hopefully I think I have achieved this. I have created a teaser page which has two scenes from the teaser in a picture form and a synopsis of the teaser. The reason why I decided to create a teaser page was because I wanted to give more information about my teaser rather than placing it on the same page as the opening page of the website. I prefer it this way because the entire page is dedicated to the film, instead of having the teaser just embedded in the middle of the page as I had done previously.

WEBSITE
Based on the feedback in which I received, I decided that I need to create another poster and website to ensure that it looks more sophisticated and will receive better marks overall. Even though I am creating another version, I am going to use the drafts which I have already come up with and try and create a better layout overall.

Check out this SlideShare Presentation:
Website Ideas 2
Based on my mock ups these are various designs which I have come up with, while I was on Adobe Photoshop. Many of the websites look the same as I have done minor changes to them with exception to the one that has red in it.

Website Mock Up
These are the ideas in which I have based on my movie poster. From the posters which I have analysed I have looked at what they have done and seen if I wanted to use any of the ideas which they had.

Third poster draft
This is the final draft of my poster. I think that my poster is simple as the main colours used are black and quite however I feel that that this reflects the main idea which the film is about. Black and white is opposite colours and has connotations with evil (black) and good (white). The main antagonist for the movie has a dual nature; this means this side of them is powerful and evil, whereas the other side to them is innocent and pure. This is the main reason why I have chosen to use these colours. I have used some of the codes and conventions for a film poster as it has the name of the film “ETCH” which is written in a grunge font called “Due Date”. The reason why I choose a grunge font is because it is disconcerting and distorted around the edges showing that the teaser and film will be unsettling. The main reason for going for this impression is to confirm the genre for the film the teaser is created for., I created a billing box written in grey and a small font so that it doesn’t stand out and take attention away from the main image. The font used for the billing box is called “Steel Tongs” and this is common for all billing boxes on movie posters.
I have included a tag line: “your fate lies in the pill”, I think this is an appropriate tag line because it raises some suspicions in terms of what pill, particularly as I have excluded a image of the pill from my poster. This tagline also fits in with the horror/thriller genre; it could help entice the audience because it raises unanswered questions, mostly of what happens in the film and whether the outcome of the fate is good or bad. The main image is of the villain; I have used a mid shot, and had the villain character get into a running stance to make it appear they are running at someone. This effect is supported by the fact this image is placed in the foreground and not the background. The codes and conventions which I have included can be seen in some of the movie posters which I analyzed.

Second draft
This is my second attempt at creating a movie poster. I like the composition of this draft because it has different layers to it which represents the different layers to a person. This version used more of the codes and convention in comparison to my first attempt as it had a billing box, tag line and names of some of the actors at the top. Although this poster again did not look very professional, I think that there has been some improvement between my first and second attempt.

draft of movie poster
I think that this attempt for creating a movie poster was very plain and did not give much indication into what type of film it was created for. It also did not look professional, for this reason I decided to create another version which would be more appropriate and look more professional

Photos Which I Took For My Poster
This is a photoshoot plan for my film poster. It looks at the type of shot and who is needed and possible positions of where the images will go. This is for my first poster mock up which is shown below.View more presentations from mturnerc.
Soundtrack to be used
These are the two songs from http://www.jamendo.com/, which I want to use for my "ETCH". As I can only use one song, I will ask people which soundtrack they preferred and use it for the teaser.

Here are my analysis of movie posters, which are a similar genre to what my teaser will be. I choose these images because I think that the composition in similar to something which I may create when I come to create my poster.

Anamatic
another anamatic
Not all the scenes which are in our teaser is shown due to the changes and devlopments we went through.
In order to create my anamatic, I used windows movie maker. In my first attempt, I thought that the did not have any otion in them, for this reaosn I got new drawings and tried to do another. Though my second attempt does not display a continous movement of images, it does have little moments of continous action. I did find it difficult to do this, but as editor it is my responsibility to do this taks. The advantage of making an anamatic was based on the fact it showed me that editing would not be an easy progress but you do get better. The second advantage of making an anamatic is based on the fact, it indicates the way in which your teaser would look when it is finished.

Organising the actors, synopsis and tape log
A list of the actors details were taken, so that as it is more convenient to contact them through number or email incase they were not at school, also it allowed them to mail us back if they could not make it instead of us finding out the day of shooting.Scenes
