Trailer

we made this trailer using iMovie. This will go on our DVD Extras, and is a preview to the final, finished version of our film.
The trailer follows the conventions of a real movie trailer, by using music that fits in with our drama, titles, different shot lengths, shot sizes, a release date, the actors names, the directors, and also the roles of everyone else in the film's production.

Another convention with this trailer is that we created our own distributor, 'Fine Art Films', parodying Paramount Pictures.

The Poster

Instead of typing out the title and other information of text on on our film poster, we decided to write it all up on the board, so that is was similar to the Dogme 95 rule. Dogme is amovement, set up by the Danish directors Lars von Trier and Thomas Vinterberg, whose goal is to instill a sense of simplicity into filmmaking. This was done by using hand-held cameras, an easy location, no music, no titles made on the computer, no lighting and no fancy costumes.

Here you can see the different stages of making our poster:

1) We first did a rough version of what the poster would look like

2) We then shot a photo of Ryan standing in front of the whiteboard, with draft words around him

3) Using photo shop, we cut around Ryan's body so that he could be put onto another/different background

4) This is a second version of our poster. It was made using Photoshop, and apply texts onto the picture.

5) Instead, we decided to write everything onto the whiteboard.
6) This meant that we could then place the cut out Ryan onto the new background, and our poster would be complete.

Magazine Article

We made our magazine article by using Adobe InDesign. We were able to add screenshots from our film, type our own text, and arrange it to how a professional magazine would look.
