One by one film review.

Here is the finalised film review page we have made using InDesign.

Film Review production (stage 1-5)

When designing our film review page, I took inspiration from the layout used in Total Film magazine. In this screenshot I have used almost the same layout, in terms of the main image and title

placement as they have in many film reviews from their magazine.

Here i have added a section similar to total film where we have linked our short film to 5 other existing films with the same or similar genre to ours, to add more detail to the page.

In this updated version i have begun to incorporate our journalistic piece as well as other elements found on a conventional film review such as a pull quote, a film rating and details found on a magazine such as page numbers and magazine name in a small font underneath. (we decided on naming our magazine as 'Showreel')

 Here i have added the rest of the journalistic piece to complete the article as well as adding a smaller image still from out short film to help tie the page together. In the bottom right hand corner i have also added a red box where i decided to put details about the film regarding the cast, director, running time and certificate rating, however i decided against using a box to display this and instead decided on using a mix of bold and fine text.

In this version i added the details about the film regarding the cast, director, running time and certificate rating using a mix of bold and fine font, like the rest of the layout on this review i took inspiration from total film magazine.

In this final version i have added last pieces of details including the name of the magazine at the top of the page to bring the page together, as conventional film review pages do this and any other amends to the page such as lining all text with images and other paragraphs.

One by one film poster - final product.

Here is the finalised film poster we have produced.

Film Poster - Production. (Stages 11-12)

As a finishing touch i have decided to add a layer of crumpled paper to tie in with the evidence board being filled with newspaper clippings, which also helps to obscure the poster to look more blurred and out of focus to again tie in with our chosen genre.

Here in this final version i have just adjusted the brightness and contrast to make the final poster look more dark to fit in with our chosen genre. 

Film Poster - Production. (Stages 6-10)

Here i have begun to create the credits at the bottom of the film poster following the same structure using all the same positions listed as the credits at the bottom of the film poster for star trek into darkness (pictured below) 

here is the completed version of the credits that i have taken inspiration from the credits of the star trek into darkness film poster. we have decided to use a different font that we originally planned to as we felt this bold font was more conventional for a film poster and also looked more professional.

Here i have moved onto create the title of the film. Like the font of the credits i have also decided to change the font. originally we wanted a scratchy font to match the self inflicted feel to look as if the killer had carved it himself, however we could not find a suitable font and did not have the understanding create one using illustrator either. Instead i decided to use a stronger bold font to again look professional like conventional film posters.

Having played about with the placement of the title i decided it looked the best positioned above the credits again like conventional film posters. I have also adjusted the opacity levels to make the film poster look blurred/ out of focus rather than very bold. Other details i have includes are name listings of the cast which i have positioned at the top of the poster in the centre of the poster using rulers to get the names of our two actors in the correct positions.

Film Poster - Production. (Stages 1-5)

From the photography shoot we have decided to use this image as the main basis of our film poster. Changes i have made to this poster include removing the white strings from the hoodie to make this item of clothing look more dark.

Here i used an image we took while filming in the forest. This picture will be used in the bottom part of our film poster.

Here i have adjusted the picture of the forest to fit the bottom of the film poster.

To fit in with the tone of the poster that i have used a black and white filter to help the forest image fit into the background image.

Here i have lowed the opacity levels to help the forest image seem as if it has been blurred into the background image and also removed the extra edges.

One by One - Finished product Feedback.

Feedback we received came down to 3 main points all of which we took on board and included:

• Work on sound - In terms of the sound of running and footsteps to which we will make more levelled out. However this was a work in progress.
• Remove the shot reverse shot - as it removes the 'scary' feel and makes the chase anti climatic. We have decided to take this into account and have decided to removed
• Remove the scream at the end of the video - the audience felt this was unneeded as it added a comedy value, therefore we decided to get rid of the scream.
