Rise To The Top Poster


   Here is the finished poster. We have slightly changed it from our draft. We felt as if our draft copy was along the right lines but was too simplistic. This is why we decided to put Arans head in front of the title to add more of an effect. Furthermore, we were thinking about shading in the titles but we thought that this wasn't necessary as our background is in black and white so this effect wouldn't be that effective. We slightly changed the font sizes but apart from that, we haven't changed much.



           


          
Here is the first draft for our poster. Finding the picture wasn't as hard as we thought it would be despite us having a wide selection to choose from. Surprisingly, the titles and captions were the hardest aspect when producing this poster. As you can see, we put the title in the biggest font as it's the most important aspect of the poster. In order to fill up some space, we decided to add a caption to the left of Aran. We have also added our own poster credits to make the trailer seem more original. I felt as if we achieved our aims from the poster. This was to give the central image as much prevalence as possible but also add information about the movie. We had a number of drafts before we felt as if we had completed.

          
We decided on using a black and white background to follow some similar movies such as fighting which also used a black and white background. As you can see below, our poster shares similar attributes to fighting including the caption.

Film Trailer Final Draft (Before final)

15/01/2014

    We have just completed the final draft our trailer today. We did complete our trailer within our planning time but we still have to make little changes thanks after the feedback we gained back. What we changed was the font and the colour from our previous drafts. We also re-recorded the dialogue as the wind overpowered the dialogue too much. Now it feels much clearer and the wind is a bit quieter yet noticeable which adds a sense of realism. This was probably the longest process as it took very long to sync the dialogue to our lips. I feel we done it well though thanks to Muhammeds expertise in editing.
    I feel as if our final piece of editing has made the trailer as a whole feel more fluent.  The trailer now follows a storyline without pauses. We cut down the pauses and so it would include a bit more action.



           

     We only need to do some minor changes to this draft yet they will be complex due to subtle changes effecting the timing of the trailer meaning that we may have to even change the sound.

Video Diary 3


    Here is the video diary of our final piece of filming in Wimbledon. Before the start of the day, we knew through our planning that we only need to visit this location once in order to get the shots we required. This shows how important planning is in regaerds to time efficiency. We completed everything we wanted to including the dialogue filming. Despite this, we suffered a problem with the dialogue due too much wind and so it is somthing we must work on in our editing. This is okay because we don't have much dialogue within out trailer. I understand that it will be difficult to sync the voice with our lip movement but, thanks to our opening two minutes film last year, I have experience in doing this thus making it a bit easier.
