Poster: Final Product


This is the poster we created, after a lot of brainstorming, audience feedback and hardwork we feel that we created a fun, professional poster. Ed Bullock took charge of the poster with various input from the rest of the group.

Poster: First and second draft


The poster was quite a short process, firstly we brainstormed ideas and talk about the look we wanted. After researching conventional poster of our chosen genre we found many similarities and elements that we wanted to include, such as the colour schemes, fonts and pictures used.
We then drew a rough sketch of the layout and style we wanted. After that we drew a more detailed version with some changes. The next step was taking it too photoshop and taking photos of the image.

Locations: Dicks house and bedroom



The location we chose to shoot our film, was planned and researched locations so that it represented Dick in the way we wanted to. Unfortunately due to problems with time and filming issues we had to use one location to film the house and bedroom. In the end it worked out well but we would have preffered to use the original locations chosen.

Character: Research

To create our character we had to research conventional characters used in our chosen genre.
These two characters are from different TV shows, on the left is from 'Skins' and the right is from 'The Inbetweeners'. By following the conventions for this type of character we have ensured that the audience will understand the type of film we are creating.

Character: Detailed information about the character of Dick

When creating a characters image and personality you also have to create all the information that surrounds such as traits, habbits, likes & dislikes and so on. By using Celtx this was easy and quick. Above is a detailed description of Dick.

Cameras

These are the two cameras we are using to shoot our film. They both have HD video and microphones built-in.

1. Kodak EASYSHARE Z981

2. Canon EOS 550D



Poster Research

These are some of the posters that my group researched. We decided that the best way of creating are own poster was by looking at the conventions for each genre. As are film is a teen comedy, we looked at comedies in general, teen dramas and teen comedies. We have designed poster with the conventions used in mind e.g font, colour, style and the images used.
