Movie Poster Examples

I have decided to look at some of these existing movie posters as to give me some inspiration on what it is i want my poster to resemble.The posters i am using for inspiration are from some of our favorite romantic films. 

The poster above is for the film P.S. I Love You, this is one of my personal favorite romantic movie. The purpose of the poster is to advertise the film, but it is also used to show actors, directors and other important people that had a role to play in the creation of the film. The colour pallet of the poster is very bright, it doesn't us much dark tones and it uses soft lighting to complement the colours. The key image in the poster is the lard photograph of Gerard Butler embracing Hillary Swank. The tagline "Sometimes There's Only One Thing Left To Say" helps us understand the genre a bit better.

The poster tells us that it is a film adaptation of a book, it uses the words best selling novel, is is to get people that was interested in the book to be interested in the film and

This Film poster doesn't have an opening date, which is very unusual for film posters 

This poster is really simple but it is able to express the genre of the film with ease, The text of the film is centered making it easy for your eye to move through the poster 

The poster above is for a modern romantic film that is not out yest. the film will be released in June 6th.

The photograph used in the poster is a simple but affective 

unlike most movies posters this one doesn't have a credit block.

Filming in London

On Friday we went up to London to start filming. We managed to film everything but the library scenes, the reasons for that is because the staff at the book shop we were going to use said we needed permission form the head office, unfortunately there was no one at the head office and because we did not want to get band form the shop we decided that it would be best to attempt to film at a later day. We decided to film at our local library, other than that it was a really productive day and we managed to do a lot.

Technical issues

This was the filming schedule for Wednesday 11th. But because of some technical issues we were unable to film that day. We have then decided to change the date to a later one when we will have access to the equipment we need.

This was the Filming for Thursday 12th. We had to residual this filming day as well as one of our actors could not attend the filming. This date also had to be re-scheduled to a later day

This is the schedule for the December 13th. We will be taking a trip to London to film scenes 1-2. our setting will be Trafalgar Square and the bookshop Waterstone.

This is our schedule for Monday 16th December. For this shoot we wont be needing to travel as far as London as we will mainly be using our Sixth Form building aster school. we will be filming scenes 3-5. the approximate time this shoot will take will be about 1 hour. After we have finished filming this scene we can start editing.

script changes

we have changed a few things on the script. We did this because we felt like they had to be changed, and that with these changes the dialog would be more realistic and believable.

Shot List

Titles Development

Here is the plan for all the titles we want to use

Loving Sign Films

We chose to call our Production Company 'Loving Sign Films' because we thought it was relevant to us, as the makers of the Trailer

Considering our Teaser Trailer genre is a Romantic Comedy, we thought it would be suitable to have a Production Company that matched with our genre.

After deciding on the name of our Production Company, we now needed to consider what the Logo will be. We don't really think that our old Production Company name from our As Media Project would suit for this, because we made it up in a rush as we were running out of time. Therefore, we know we could make a better one.

Our old Production Company Logo

Discussing Our Production Name

Me and my partner spent a long time discussing our product name, we wanted it to be 4 things:

• We wanted something simple
• To be relevant to us
• Easy to say 
• Professional

 We had some rough ideas as to what we wanted:

• Panic Sigh Productions
• Love Decade Studios 
• Loved Love Films
• FLavio & Luqman Productions 
• Loving Sign FIlms 
• Affectionate Addition Pictures
• Or we use our old Production Company name (AL Productions)

Proposed Location- The Library

Bellow are some photographs we have taken of our location. 

We wanted to have pour school as a setting as a lot of romance films start off with a school romance.

_________________________________________________________________________________

We will be using a book shop in London for the scenes in the Library, we are using a book shop in stead of a library because in our opinion the book shop has a better feel to it. The book shop we will use is called Waterstones.

_________________________________________________________________________________

We will be using different parts of London to film any mucilaginous scenes.

The main setting we will be using will be in and around Trafalgar Square.

Contract

Above is a copy of the contract we have written up for our actors. The Contract specifies the terms and conditions of their employment.

Storyboard

Synopsis

The story begins when two students searching for the same book. One at each end of a bookcase they move closer and closer to each other, until they reach for the same book, hands bound together by the red string of fate, it is love at first sight. After that fateful  incident a relationship begins, until a day of misunderstandings occur and they brake up. Years later they find themselves working in the same department of a company, unaware that they are former lovers they for get about each other. Until a conversation stirs up memories form the past. Could this be the begining of their old relationship.

Above is the script we created for our film trailer.

Film Name

After me and my partner discussed what name we should have for our film, we decided that the best way to settle the discussion was to let our target audience chose what the film name should be,

we created a survey and gave them to teenage girls aged 16-17. we also changed the name to "Say You'll Love Me" as we thought that the previous one was too long.

Bellow is an example of the survey.

The results for the survey.

By using the survey we have decided to use the name "Say You'll Love Me" as it was the most popular.

Our Pitch

When we first thought about our pitch, we had a difficult time deciding on one as we have never had to do something like this. We finally came up with "Love turns old. But who said it couldn't become new again?". We know it's not perfect but it was all we could think of at the time, we will keep thinking about what we could change about it, but until we think of a better pitch this one will do.

Influence

For our film trailer we have decided to create a Romantic/Drama. We will be using existing Romantic Drama films as inspiration for our film. Bellow are some film trailers that we thought were very effective. We liked how captivation they were and how they made the audience want to know more about the film and we wish to recreate this experience in our own trailer.
