Changes to our film.

For our film we have now decided to do an animation instead of a film. Although we are having a silhouette speaking in our film so it's half and half. We tried doing it as a film, but it comes across better to the audience in animation form. The mise-en-scene looks a lot better.

Storyline:

Starts off with a documentary feel of a girl who is talking about her family life, in between each sentence (the silhouette) for each family member we have flashbacks of the truth as the sentence she says isn't realistic. We are using stop motion as this flows together better and the colours don't portray reality, if they are more realistic colours they are more dream life.

Posters 3 & 4

Second two posters.

We first picked up the contrast so the shadows were darker and the highlights brighter. Made a new layer and pasted another image of torz over the top of the image, one where she is closer to the camera. We then changed this layers opacity to around 60%. Duplicated this layer and used the effect 'motion blur' to create the look of movement. This layers opacity was at 45%. The text is bold and set to an overlay 'blend mode' and then has a white glow around it. This layers opacity was at 40%.

First we desaturated the image, then picked up the contrast so the shadows were darker and the highlights brighter. Made a new layer and pasted another image of torz over the top of the image, one where she is closer to the camera. We then changed this layers opacity to around 60%. Duplicated this layer and used the effect 'motion blur' to create the look of movement. This layers opacity was at 45%. The text is bold and set to an overlay 'blend mode' and then has a white glow around it. We duplicated this layer and gave the top layer a motion blur effect. This layers opacity was at 40%.

Posters 1 & 2

We decided to make more then one different poster so we can use two of them or just pick one and have a choice. Some films have more then one poster so we thought if we find it difficult to choose we can use two.

These two posters are the first two we did which are the same picture but done in a different way.

For this poster we started off with the characters full body swing shot. Made it black and white. Got a new image and pasted it over the origional image, then made this one black and white too by desaturating it, then made the layer opactity to around 40-50%. Then did this again with the same image and made the scale smaller. The text is bold and then has a black edge around it. It is all set to an overlay blend mode. Duplicated this layer and gave the top layer a motion blur effect. This layers opacity was at 40%.

For this poster we firstly opened the image of the character on photoshop, we then duplicated this image x4 each time making the scale of the image bigger. Each layer was set to a opacity between 40-60% This gives an effect of the character moving. The text is bold and then has a black edge around it. We duplicated this layer and gave the top layer a motion blur effect. This layers opacity was at 40%.
