Production- Ancillary Task 2 Billboard Poster

Planning: Ancillary Task 1- Magzine Mock Up 3

Drafting for my magazine cover in the final stages of completion, I consulted my focus group and asked them what they like about the cover so far and make suggestions on what can be improved.

The focus group said that they like the central image and said that the effect on the image made it stand out, additionally they liked the colour scheme and font used.

However they suggested that i consider rearranging the layout of the tag lines either side of the main image as, the colour fade into the background and aren't always clearly visible, therefore a should change the layout. Additionally they also that i need to make the title of the magazine bolder so it standout from the rest of the text.

Production Ancillary Tasks- Lead Photo Shoot

 Here is mid shot of the lead character, using direct mode of address to engage with audience, this image is going to be the focal point of either the poster or the film magazine front cover. The lead has dark clothing on to great a sense of darkness behind the character, fitting with the genre of the main production the trailer. In the image i have used low key light the left of the lead, to create a shadow on his face, depicting a dark and light side to his face, suggesting the person he is within the trailer. The idea for this image was taken from the Skyfall poster., which shows bond with direct mode, dark clothing and lighting on one side of the face, as like out own image.

 Behind the scenes look at the set up of the photo shoot, including the low key lighting position to left up high facing down from a high angle onto the character, with another positioned to the right of the character from a low angle facing up. Missing posters are used in the back ground to convey the story of this character. The lead is dress in dark clothing reflecting the use of lighting and background colour, making sure that they both contrast well. The lead is using indirect mode of address during this picture to perhaps suggest he is looking at something in the distance.

Same low key lighting also used in this image, with the characters convey direct mode of address with the audience to make a connection with them. This image is going to be used as the front cover of the film magazine. The body position makes the character seen strong in both appearance and presence, as well as reflecting the characters personality. 

The same shot but taken in landscape, the make wider use of the background behind and to have the option for the movie poster to be in landscape with other images behind. 

Same but from further away. 

Mid shot of the leads torso and face, with the image being used as the movie poster main image, with the lead direct mode of address being very dominant within this picture. 

Another mid shot of the lead with more emphasis on facial expression and body positioning. 

All images where taken using a Cannon 550D, with the set up we have in our Media room.

Planning: Ancillary Task 2- Poster Mock up one

The mid shot is predominately black and white with indirect mode of address, there is a single spot light in low key to the left of the photo, lighting the face and upper torso. The black back drop brings out the white of his shirt, against his face and the black of his suite. The white of the writing makes it stand out against the predominately black background, with the style of writing, being bold, with a touch of class, reflecting the character them selves.
