advertisting my pre posters

I have decided to make "pre posters" for my film. These will be released a month before the release of my main posters. This will intrigue my audience, and it will become a topic of conversation, therefore gaining my film more publicity. I have decided to make it a bus stop advert as people of all ages will see it therefore again gaining more popularity.

I have used one of my photos I had taken previously for this pre poster. This was the original image as you can see I have heavily edited the image on the left. I created two more layers labelled red and blue of the translucent character and used auto levels to create a 3D effect. I then duplicated the text and capitalized it and made it bigger. I then adjusted the colours and contrast to get the colour of the image. I then wanted to distort the image more, so I cut the background image in half and stretched it to create the sense of uncertainty. I feel this is an accurate portrayal of distorted reality.

My first poster is a landscape image from St Mary's church gardens I have decided to stick to my convention of courier font for the title. I used steel tongs for my billing box. Despite not sticking to many of the conventions of film posters, I felt I have done well as my genre is psychological thriller and by leaving out a lot of the conventions, my poster has remained enigmatic and may entrace the audience.
My second poster is a landscape image of orchardson street. I have decided to use this image as there is a lot of space I could use for text. I have created another layer and lowered the opacity to create a ghost like effect
My third poster is again set is St mary's church gardens. Like the previous image I have created a ghost like presence in the image. I like the use of colours in the image, i created this effect by adding green and black photo filters and increasing the contrast.
My fourth image is my favourite poster, however due to there being very little space in the image I feel I am unable to use it.
My fifth image is the image I am most likely to use. this is my only image of Niamh I have used in my poster. I like the way her character is silhouetted to create an enigmatic feel.

Changing my background music

I have decided to change my background music because the music I had originally chosen I felt wasn't strong enough. So I downloaded some free music online and remixed it and edited using my music technology skills.

Editing practice

As the "rave scene" is a vital part of my teaser, I wanted to use a video editing software program to practice editing and fast cutting.

My first shot is a manual out of focus shot, I feel these shots are great to use as they start the footage off with an enigmatic feel. I have made sure that the camera focus's on the glowsticks rather than the actresses.
My second shot is a pan of Niamh and Mel still out of focus. I have kept it out of focus because it sticks to the enigmatic feel. And it asks the question are they really friends? Or is Mel chasing Niamh?
My third shot is a zoom in shot of the wall, I feel this creates tension and the zoom allows a "bridge" to the next shot.
My fourth short is a nightshot of Niamh. I have used a night shot as it is eerie and mysterious

Interim Presentation

This is my interim presentation for my film teaser Depersonalization. I have included a number of clips which i have edited during my filming over the last few months.

An Interview with Niamh Dunphy

I decided that I needed an interview video on my blog to make my film teaser appear real. I researched interviews on youtube and looked at Angelina Jolie's interview for Girl Interrupted which is a similiar film to Depersonalization. I also looked at American chat shows and I started my clip off in a similar way in which they do, I began by introducing the actress and then cutting to a clip of the actress as I spoke over the clip. I then showed a montage of clips based around the actress from my Depersonalization footage.

Using Final Cut Pro

I have started to use the editing software Final Cut Pro. I have managed to log and render my footage, soundtrack and voice over. I have used a fade in and out on my soundtrack by creating 3 key frames and the beginning and end of the song. This allows me to create a set volume so i can then automate the volume to create a high low and midpoint volume.
