AUTUMN POSTER FINALISED

After trying to get the portrait collage of pictures to work for my poster, I decided to keep my design plain and simple. I used green and gold colours for the text as I felt they represented the idea of autumn and the woods etc.

The tag line that I created: 'escape from reality' let's the audience in on the rough plot of the film and the necklace also gives another clue.

To finish, I need to continue with the ratings, making sure they are easy to see and are labelled 'the sun' or 'the daily mail' etc 

Short Film Poster - Draft

Above is a draft of my final design of our short film poster. The background is a photograph i took while on set recording the first part of the sequence set in the woods and i think it reflects the title well as the tress look lifeless. The black and white effect i added, in photoshop, as i wanted the photograph to look old and there was too much colour in the original for the titling to stand out. I also added a grain effect to the photograph to give it an aged look along with turning up the contrast to make the black and white effect work.

I plan to add film festival icons that are relevant to short films at the bottom of the poster in a band. I want to add several reviews at top also, crediting the film and promoting it through good publicity.

Poster

This is the start of my poster design for 'Autumn'. I wanted to show the audience abit more of the film through the poster as the title is maybe a little too ambiguous and not revealing of the events or storyline enough! I think the layout works nicely- however, I need to think of how I will fit in my billing board and actors names etc. I think the colours and pictures work well together. (The top picture will be changed to a shot of her actually opening the door with the light on get face). My other option would be to have 3 different pictures on under the other, another layout I think would look professional and easy and captivating for the audience to understand. 

Editing- Garage Band

To show the start of a new day, I edited the sun clip, however, on top of that, to make it seem more realistic, I went onto garage band and created a piece of non diegetic sound of bird song to add underneath the sun shot. It took a while to get the different bird clips to fit together well and to make it sound real, but the final effect sounds really good and even though it is a small project compared to the filming and editing, I think it will add a lot of texture and realism to the film. 

Editing

Today I edited more of the wardrobe scenes, where Rosie is in different clothes to show a new day (as seen in the picture, in her pink top.) Again, editing alone was difficult as I didn't have anyone to feedback to, but I was pleased with the outcome. I chose some good shots and edited them to get extremely accurate continuity. I was also clever with the footage we already have, using one of the sun shots to show the start of the new day.
