Short Film

Double Page Spread

 

Film Poster

 In the beginning I was unsure of how I wanted it to look but now it's exactly how I pictured it would be.

Final Outcome

 

 

Production update!

For my poster I thought it would be a good idea to have the very beginning scene of the short film where Mia's eyes are open in bed. It would go with the actual short film itself and it would be really effective however because the quilt near her eyes is pink you don't get a Sci-fi feel from the poster. I have decided to do a landscape poster because I couldn't edit it to suit a portrait style.

Evaluation- Question 2

How effective are your ancillary tasks in relation to your short film?

 

From this focus group I got the information that I needed to change my film poster completely because we were running behind schedule with our actual film itself. My film poster wasn't finished so I presented it as so. I got the information from the focus group that my film poster is more horror than science fiction, to change this I ma going to take more images of the main character. We haven't had much time to work on our ancillary tasks as we have been focusing on our main short film. Regarding my double page spread I had only written up my article in the form of a interview. I didn't see why I should show them only my article not presented. I wouldn't be able to get any effective feedback on it. My article is a Q&A with the main character and I feel like this is more effective as the audience would feel like they're getting to know the real actress. I found that my strongest point within my movie poster is my photography. After my double page spread and short film poster is complete I am planning on doing another focus group to find out on a whole how effective both my ancillary tasks are.

I have a lot to work on over the next week because I need to take pictures, edit them and change them completely. I need to pick a final design on how I want my film poster to look and I need to take stills from my short film to put into my double page spread. 

Evaluation Question 3

Today my group done a focus group and because we hadn't finished editing all of our film we had to explain what our intentions were with the film and what the plot line was.





From the focus group we found out that our concept is very interesting and the fact that we have done a hybrid of a science fiction and drama. We found that doing a science fiction is very hard to do for a short film as they are mostly used for feature films. We were unsure of what scenes we are going to cut down but we have came to the conclusion that we are going to speed up some scenes for it to make sense and to make it seem more of a science fiction. We also need to stick within the time limit and at the moment it is three minutes and fifteen seconds long and our maximum time limit is five minutes.
