Photoshoot 4

We decided that we were not satisfied with the images we took in Photoshoot 3. This is because we thought the actress' outfit, facial expression and body language were not suited for the purpose we needed. We therefore decided to redo this photoshoot and change the look of our actress and position her more appropriately for use of the image on the poster.

We then 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.

Filming part 4

Today we filmed all of the scenes with our main actor and actresses. We have now gathered footage for all of the scenes that we needed for our teaser trailer and we will now continue editing our teaser trailer using Adobe Premiere pro.


We are still yet to recieve a response from Sony and Roxy recordings concerning the music we intend on using for our coursework.

Film poster font and composition analysis

The majority of these films use a simple, sans-serif font. We have been influenced by this trend and have decided to use a similar type of font for our own poster. All of the actors and actresses are looking directly at the camera, which is important to make the audience feel more emotionally connected to the film. In addition to this, they are full body shots in most of the images. This shows the actor/actress' outfit, which tells the audience a lot about the characters. We also intend to follow some of these typical conventions of the genre for our own movie poster.

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.
