Costumes

Laura (Me)-
     I wore a dark coloured top, which was either black brown or deep burgundy depending on the scene as well as the natural ambiance from the sun.
    For the film poster I wore a purple top with my green parka coat alongside with black leggings and brown boots. The reason for this combination for an outfit is because the purple top gave that deepness feeling to the atmosphere whereas wearing the green parka jacket gave the poster that old reminiscing feel to it, this is because parker jackets were worn back in the day when the war was occurring- which will attract our niche target audience. The reason why I chose to have leggings is because they were the easiest piece of clothing to use for the filming as well as being a very much generic piece of clothing which people can relate back to the war times as well as having relation to the newer generation with regards to the clothing and the fashion styles. The boots were there as more of a generic footwear this is because we needed to find a suitable piece of footwear which is practical for the filming as well as to suit the genre of film in which we were doing- war.
    For the footage of the trailer I wore my brothers  cadet uniform which is a camouflage jacket and matching trousers with the black military boots.

Emma-

Emma wore her grey coat within the picture taking for the magazine cover and film poster ideas, and film making.

Jessica

 Jessica wore black leggings and her black coat with a pair of black wellingtons for the themed genre of the film which kept things consistent within the film and the shots.

FIlm Poster picture taking.

The reason why we decided to take this picture is because we got a different perspective of the camera. This shows off the characters from a perspective of some one looking upon them, By getting Laura( me in the middle) to look up in such a way which suggests that I am looking at the way out. We chose this location to shoot this possible film poster because of the atmosphere in which it creates for the picture. With the dirty-muddy un even surfaces with the surroundings gave a great atmosphere to the picture as it also links in with the genre of our film.

The reason why we took this picture is because we decided that by having one of the characters reaching for help this will symbolise the fact that I was running from something. The reason why we chose to have this picture is because it shows the audience that we can use a different range of shots to create a different range of atmospheres for the target audience as well as giving a different perspective for the way in which the picture can be interpreted.  The reason why we chose this image is because of the natural ambiance of the picture already will have a perfect basis to edit upon for photoshop as well as any other possibilities within our trailer.

Billing Block

A billing block is a block of credits which are usually located in the middle of the page at the bottom. These show other aspects of how credits can be presented for films. Some of the conventions for a billing block are;

• It is all written in capital letters
• It is located at the bottom of the poster
• All of the names are in a larger font compared to the other text within the billing block.
• Under the billing block there are usually film companies that were used in the production of the film, for example Universal.

The billing block within our trailer is a very important font, this is because it is a very unique font which is significantly the only font style which is long and thin so it looks almost squashed, after researching for a billing block font we came across one which suited the billing block to a 'T', as well as it following the conventions of a billing block. The font in which we found as well as using is named Steel Tong.

Film poster development--- Idea 1

To create the first film poster idea I decided to take 3 images and input two faces on to the other picture. The pictures which I decided to crop and change were the two pictures either side of this paragraph. The reason why I decided to merge these two pictures to recreate a new photo was because within the two pictures we are showing two very different emotions of bravery and fear, with the characters optimism seeping through their eyes it was a perfect example for our film poster as this is what will attract the target audience. From the picture on the left I cropped out my face and transported it to another photo by using the polygonal lasso tool on Photoshop. I also did the same steps with the picture on the right, but with the picture on the right i only selected Jessica's face from the photo. By doing this i then inserted the two faces onto another photo of Emma standing in the middle with a grassy area surrounding her- which still linked in with the genre of the film.  Then by merging the faces and changing the opacity and location of them I was able to make mine and Jessica's face slightly transparent which came from inspiration from the film poster of Pearl Harbour. The finished poster is below;
