Audience Reaction to our film (1)

Production: Title sequence contingency plan

While we were editing our film, me and my partner came across the problem of not having enough time to squeeze in our idea for our title sequence, thus we decided to come up with a second idea to fit in a title sequence for our film.

Our idea is to superimpose the title of our film and only a few credits, such as the production company name in the empty spaces of our film footage at the beginning of the film. This would work, because our film starts of with our actor being on the far right of the rule of thirds, thus this gave us space to input the film Title and required credits, In doing so, we are aiming to be efficient with the time we have.

Production: Initial Idea for title sequence

For our title sequence, we decided to superimpose an old newspaper from the 1950's. We decided to use the headline as our space to show the title and the credits, by first having the headline of the newspaper as our film title, "The Living Past" and then each letter would fade away leaving one letter which would start the second word.

For example, From "The Living Past" all letters except for P would fade away and the Letter P would start the word "Produced" for the sentence "Produced by SFS Studios"

Production: Poster Improvements

This is what our audience have said about our new poster:

Positives;

1) It contains the conventional elements of a horror poster, such as the use of a dark block colour background and an overall sinister house-style.

2) The manipulation of lighting and the use of a filter to represent time were very cleverly done and the wanted effect of the poster being scary has been achieved.


Improvements:

1) The editing could be a bit more tighter, such as reducing the opacity of the hand clock between the two images,

2) The company logo needs to be bigger and in line with the film certification.

3) The release date should be moved slightly for a neater finish,

Production: Poster Draft 3 editing

Due to an actor change, it meant that the images used in our poster had to be changed, as wed decided to keep the layout and house style the same, but just replace the images of our protagonist. However, we found it difficult to get the lighting on the face of our protagonist, the same as in the original poster, thus we used the lighting tool on Photoshop to increase the lighting on certain areas of our protagonists face and create more shadows in certain areas of our protagonists face.
