Poster for film idea

Here's another poster I made, trying to outline an idea that I have for a short. The film would be based around the subject matter of depression and the story will be based on how a lot of people put on a front to mask how they really feel behind closed doors. I may try to make an awareness style film for it around christmas time as I feel this is a fascinating topic. I have a basic structure of what I'd like to do.


Here's the poster anyway,



I tried my best to blend two main images and combine them with background effects, tints and other blending tools to give an idea of the feel, atmosphere and how I imagine the film to look. I'm not too sure on the text however I need to download some text packs since most my fonts are pretty generic looking. I really like designing images for filmic ideas as I find it gets me really motivated to then go out and make something based upon it. Mostly however, I create banners for already existing products. I see the banner as a way of making a first impression for a product so the more convincing it is for a viewer, the more likely they'll be to indulge further and buy into that product.

Poster for Train

Here's a poster idea I just made for our team project. I like to work alot with Adober Photoshop and enjoy trying to design posters for film.

'Train' Important things to remember during our pre production phase

First of all, here's a list of the roles for our team project Train because I'm sure you're all dying to know;

Uri - Producer............'the organisational cheif'
William - Director................'The man with the vision'
Vyte - Art Director/ Locations Manager/ Storyboader.........'the sane one'
Kieron - Assistant Director and Producer.................'the super helper'
Tasha - Lighting/ Storyboader.........................'lighting up the show'
Alex - Editor/ Photographer.......................'putting the pieces together'
Jack - Camera Operator..........................'cameras rolling everybody'
Andrew - Sound Co-ordinator..................'The souunnddddd maaaannnnn'


Things to remember during pre production:

Supporting eachother- Although we all have our own specific roles,and it is important to carry out those roles, we still pitch in and help out as a team so that noone has to be left with an unfair amount of work on their hands.

Listening to eachother - Basic things such as team morale can be overlooked within the hustle and bustle of trying to construct a project in a short space of time however these things are important since I think a worker does their job best when they feel that they’re ideas and concerns are at least being taken into account. I also think it’s very important that idea’s about the film or any elements surrounding it are shared amongst all members of the group and people be allowed to voice their opinions since sometimes the director can miss things or they could do with a second or third opinion on something.

Knowing our roles - As well as helping eachother when it's needed, one of the most important things to remember is what our particular role is and making sure we have a clear understanding of that role and what is expected of us.

Clear Narrative - Even if we wanted to make the most obscure, abstract, mystifying film ever then we would still need to have constructed some kind of narrative or vague story that is unfolding otherwise it would end up looking like a sequence of random events which don’t have any relevance at all. It’s also important to know what you’re character want to achieve and what actions are to take place during that process of trying to achieve goals. I like to use Todorov’s equilibrium theory to remind me of the three states of a story when planning it out. Once you have a narrative that works and have a clear direction then you can build your ideas on from there. Think of it as a Christmas tree ready for you to add all the decorations on perhaps.
