Film poster colour analysis

We picked out this selection of teen movie posters which appeal to a similar target audience as our film. The majority of them feature stereotypically feminine colours such as pink and purple, so we made the decision that our poster should feature a similar colour scheme.

Filming part 3

Today we filmed our main actress. We gathered footage of some of the most important corridor scenes. Additionally, we filmed the scene set in the teacher’s office. This means we only have a small amount of footage left to film. Therefore, we can start editing our footage using Adobe Premiere pro.

We have still not received a response from Sony or Roxy recordings.  

Poster - font choice

For our movie poster we need to pick a font that will stand out amongst the colours and images. Also, after looking at the posters we researched at the beginning of the project we picked out simple, mostly sans-serif typefaces for use in our work. We also decided to include some handwritten designs to represent the school-focused nature of the film. However, these are less iconic and more difficult to read. Our poster will be displayed in busy environments such as cinemas and in magazines. As a result we need it to stand out and be easily recognisable so that it creates an impression on our target audience.

Music copyright request

We have emailed the record companies of the music we wish to use in a coursework.

Photoshoot 3

In our third photoshoot we photographed one of our lead actresses, Orianna, for use in our print works. We took both portrait and full-length shots. The portrait pictures can be used on our magazine cover and the full length shots will be good for use on the promotional poster.

Again we used Adobe Bridge to create a contact sheet. After this we uploaded the PDF to Google Docs, making use of more modern multimedia technology. This can be viewed by clicking here.

Photoshoot 2

On our second filming session we wanted to take more images that can be used throughout our print work. We photographed the church building with a focus on images that showcased the building as posh and formal to contrast with the rough and dirty exterior of the school from shoot 1.

Filming part 2

We intended to film the exterior shots of the 'posh school' at Haigh hall in Wigan. However we had to change these plans at the last minute when we arrived in Wigan due to transport difficulties. We made the decision to film the establishing shots of the exterior of a local church, which ordinarily wouldn’t look like a school, so we decided to just film the main body of the church without the steeple in shot to make it look more realistic.
