Magazine feed back

The media students told me to:

• Add a white boarder on the magazine front cover
• Make Joseph bigger
• Add film titles, independent films and foreign film titles
• Puff - Win tickets to camera film festival
• Barcode + Font
• Serif font
• Slogan
• Background lighter
• They thought the magazine drafts had to much of a mainstream appearance so therefore they told me how to make it less mainstream and adopt a more independent magazine appearance.

Titles

Here is the title for Crystal Peak. I created this in Adobe After Effects and took approximately 2hrs to complete. I picked the stars for the background to establish the name "crystal".
This is a work in progress and will be a place format till a remastered version is created.

Draft 6 Poster

In my movie we play with the colour palette we used saturate colours for example: red, yellow etc.  So I thought I would be a good idea to apply some of that to the post so I made the image slightly  smaller and applied the gradient tool to make the image red. Because I made the image smaller I could also have space to rearrange the names of the actors inside the film. I also got rid of the ‘SUMMER 2016’ and replaced that with a coming soon which I placed at the bottom of the poster. The COMING SOON is in the same font (crackvectia)  as the title to create synergy.

Trailer note #2

These are the screenshots we took from our bathroom scene that we filmed the other day. This took awhile to find the right type of area we were looking for but this fit our expectation the most from the other places we looked at. After looking back on these shots they were (like the bedroom scene) dark in lighting in most areas and we didn't get the right type of shots we wanted either. Were thinking of keeping some shots from this shoot but were defiantly going to have to arrange another shoot with this scene.

Trailer Draft 5

This is the new edit with the added bathroom scenes to create a montage of scenes at the end.

Final Film Title

This will be the final edit for for film title and took around 3hrs to produce on after effects. With the help of a video tutorial from Video Copilot it was not too hard to produce and I only stumbled onto small minor errors.
The reason why I choose this type of effects was that my group was working around the Cracktivia font and I thought this will fit perfectly within the house style. I spoke to my group about it and they all agreed that this was a huge improvement and fells this will fit perfectly within our film trailer.

Draft 5 Poster

I also added stills at the bottom of the poster show that the poster could be connected to the trailer and so that the audience could have an idea of what is to come in the film. 

At first I thought that this would be my final poster. However, I conducted some audience feedback and they then told me that I could still add some more features and to improve and make my poster. 

Draft #2 Coming Soon

This was a request from Danielle of what she wanted for the coming soon title since the other one I made did not fit in the style of what we wanted. She asked for a quick 2 second coming soon title that just appears then vanish's quickly. 

Bathroom scene only

We had to replace the bathroom scene with new shots because our feed back showed that people didn't enjoy the way the bathroom scene was presented. So we had to re shoot the scene. I made the bathroom seem separately so I can formulate this part of the teaser trailer.
The blank gaps in this scene will have scenes added to them which was not filmed in the bathroom

Problem with the sound

New Updated Movie Edit

Sounds Development

During the trailer you hear a various amounts of sounds being used for example:
Glass Shattering, Drills most importantly you hear a constant ticking through out giving
the impression that time is running out for our protagonist. During our new action scene the music
heightens and goes to quite fast paced with a higher pitch which builds tension and it ends rapidly
with the title of our film.

Trailer Draft 4

This trailer edit the first with the added new scenes. The old ones where too dark and confused the audience with the narrative to come. The bedroom scenes looked unprofessional and didn't suit our house style for the trailer, however, with these new added scenes is pushed are narrative further. It looked more professional.

Draft 4 Poster

I added another convention by adding a text box at the bottom which states things like the production team, Imax, the director etc. By adding this it makes it more realistic and professional, because all posters have that at the bottom of their posters.

Teaser trailer edit (new scenes added)

Trailer Draft 3

Narrative and Structure Changes

We saw that our narrative didn't make sense with the selection of shots we had

so we deiced to add a few more scenes to continue on the story. For example: 

We added a action scene to make the trailer more excited and giving the audience a

illusion of a fight scene to come and also instead of a bedroom scene in the beginning 

we have a church scene we he start to get flashbacks of what happened to him in past.

I think these added scenes will be good and forward our story making the audience wanting to see more. 

Final Magazine

Draft 3 Poster

I added a slogan to the poster 'Life is not a choice'  so the audience gets a hint of what the movie could be about. I also added a 'Coming Soon - Summer 2016' so you could know when it's coming out, which is a typical convention of movie posters.

Church scenes replace bedroom scenes (Teaser trailer edit)

Summary
Within the crystal peak edit I changed the introduction with a cinematography shot which is an eye line match at the start with our protagonist looking at the the crucifix, My audience feedback told me that the introduction dragged on to much so I shortened it and used the their feedback. Furthermore I took a scene where the camera did a pan shot on the saw, I took it out because it had a negative effect on the flow of the trailer.
