POSTER : My rough ideas for my teaser poster.

These were a few more teaser posters i have looked at after slightly changing my plot with a darker presence. Above were a few of my favourites as from the dark conventional colours you get the immediate fell that the film isn't about happiness and laughter but there is a darker side to the plot and this is what i want to portray in my poster. Each poster out of the four are all very simplistic when it comes to the information given away on the poster, apart from the film title and date or month of the release they don't show much else.

From all the poster ideas i have drawn out in my personal opinion i think poster ideas 1 and 3 are my favourite. Poster one is a very strong and simplistic poster which will leave people asking a lot of questions. The focal point of the poster is half of a female characters face coming from the left hand side of the poster taking up almost half the page. Behind the female character is two blurred / blacked out featureless figures. After looking at example teaser posters i realised that the less information you put on the poster, the more interesting and mysterious it becomes. Leading on from this on my first poster idea i simply just included the title of the film, the season the film is released and a website if they want to find out more.

The reason why i like poster 3 is because of the mystery behind it, the focal image gives a small amount of insight into the story but not enough to give the story away. Also personally i beleve the composition in which the image on the poster is set out and the idea behind it is very creative. What i don't particularly like about poster 3 is the way i have set out the slogan at the top and the date of release, i think it looks a bit effortless and not really thought about.

TEASER TRAILER : Animatic on windows movie maker.

I created my animatic on Windows live movie maker. I had never properly used a software like this before so after downloading the program i watched a short tutorial online on how to take your story board and turn it into an animatic.

It was quite tricky at first to get timings right and think about what different effects i could use on the slides to create / mimic what i want for my trailer.

TEASER TRAILER : Slide by slide.

This is simply the introduction to my animatic.

I apologise for the way this is set up, when trying to publish more than one image in one post the set up kept messing up meaning i had to publish each image separately.

I have created my own corporate logo so my teaser trailer and poster would be recognised and connected to me / my film company. I believe this adds a more professional look and thought to my trailer and poster.

This is the opening scene. I want the movie to open with the focus on the male character of the trail but to give the effect of a hand held camera as if the female character (girlfriend) was videoing a home movie similarly to the well know film paranormal activities camera work.

Following the effect of the hand held camera i then want the female character to hand over the camera to the male character. While This is all happening i will either have just there voices in the mix playing to the camera (dieogetic sound) or simply just calm gentle music in the mix (non dieogetic sound).

Still using the viewing through the hand held camera, the camera will then be on the female character as she plays to and talks to her boyfriend through the camera. This is where i may give a slight clue to the viewers that there's a stalker involved by either showing a quick shot of him through the window for example.

In between the shot above and below the screen will go black followed but a caption saying 'WHEN LOVE IS ALL YOU LIVE FOR..'

This is a simple shot of the couple hugging romantically before everything changes....

As the couple part from there hug the viewers will then see in the far background a strange figure stood in the woods mysteriously watching.

In between the shot above of when you see the stalker in the background and the shot below where you see the shot of the feet running past the screen goes black followed by dead silence and then a caption saying 'WHAT HAPPENS WHEN IT'S GONE'

In this shot - Shot of the feet - A shot taken from the ground in the countryside. The camera will be still as a male character runs past quickly panting in panic.

In this shot - A close up on the stalkers face. As he opens up the door slowly i want to add a slow creek (non dieogetic sound) to create more of an atmosphere.

Repeat shot - This shot is a shot taken from the ground in the countryside, the camera will be still as a male character runs past quickly breathing heavily.

This is an extreme close up shot on a female characters face. The shot is meant to portray fear and upset in the eyes. The extreme close up shot works by connecting to the audience as you can just see the females eyes, she is almost sharing the moment with the audience.

TEASER TRAILER : Animatic...

This is my finished animatic. This will give me and and other viewers that view this a bit of an insight into my ideas for my film teaser trailer. Its very likely that as i am filming i will come up with new ideas in terms of filming, for example different camera angles or to add another clip in the trailer. An animatic is not only good helping the producer when it comes to filming but also to show progression when the trailer is finished and edited as you will see new ideas and thoughts put into the trailer that weren't intraregionally in the animatic.

A film poster is used as an advertising scheme to promote a film. A film poster usually contains image with text, though contemporary film posters have evolved to become highly visual digital productions.
