CREATING MY FINAL POSTER:

Drafts

Photo shoot plan and selection

Billing Box creation

I wanted to take a landscape photo of the clown using the rule of thirds so that the clown is on the right, edit it to have a completely black background to give it a scary effect.

I wanted to edit the eyes of the clown black to make the clown seem more surreal.

I wanted to place the review quotes and ratings at the top left hand corner. Using a blue font.

I wanted to place the title in the centre on the left hand side, I wanted to use a scary looking white font.

I wanted to place my billing box at the bottom of the poster directly opposite the review quotes. I wanted to use the same blue font as the review quotes as well.

POSTER MOCK UP

PHOTOSHOOT PLANI want the image to be a landscape headshot of the clown using the rule of thirds with the clown on the right. I want the clown to make eye contact with the camera because I want to be able to easily edit them out. The background

should be black but I can edit it black as I don’t have anywhere black to photograph it.

Model I want to use:Doesn’t really matter as they will be wearing the

clown mask.

Costume:The clown suit Jessie and I bought.

Location:A plain wall will work as I am editing the

background black anyway.

Lighting:I will use a lamp for direct lighting on the mask.

Props:None

This is the photo I produced, I blacked out the eyes and made the background black, I also blurred the body of the clown. I also edited the image so it was longer for

my poster.

Billing Box Inspiration.

A billing box is a compulsory part of a film poster so I needed to create one for my own poster. I looked at the billing box from the poster for the film 'Peep World', which was a billing box we looked

at in class, as I liked the structure of it and the styles of the fonts. I decided on ‘Tunnel Entertainment' as the name of my production company and ‘MBS Films‘ as my

films distributor.

Above is my billing box that I made in Photoshop.

DRAFT 1

I used my mock up to base my placement of text on the image. I decided that I didn’t like the blue fonts for the review quotes as I hadn’t made my final billing box blue and the texts didn’t match up on the poster.

IMPROVMENT FEEDBACK FROM PEERS

• It doesn’t say when its coming out• Can’t tell if its a movie or theatre

production

DRAFT 2

I added a line saying ‘Coming to a cinema near you...’ so that viewers know that it’s a poster for a film and I wanted t keep the mystery so I didn't put a specific date I just

put that it’s coming out soon.

• Maybe add a strap line to make the poster raise more questions.

• Edit image to make it darker and colder instead of warm.

• Add rating.

IMPROVMENT FEEDBACK FROM PEERS AND TEACHER

FINAL DRAFT

I added a strap line that asks “Do you want to play?” which relates to the theme of my film because usually clowns are seen as playful things. I also added the bbfc rating 15 as that's what Jessie and I decided on earlier. I also made the image have more contrast and I made it colder along with the title, strap line and the line about the date so that they would stand out more and attract the audiences eye.
