Title

For our title in the film we wanted to keep to the colour scheme of grey like our poster. This then adds to the consistency of our products.
We changed the font style form our poster to our trailer as we wanted something a bit more elaborate for our trailer.
I like the trailer title as it looks as though it blends in with the background as it is very prominent at the top and then fades nearer the bottom. this adds effect as it can be received as you start at the top strong but by the bottom/ end you start to fade away. which can be a true statement for war.

Final Poster

Final Poster





This is the final poster that we want as part of our package.

We picked this picture as we all really liked where it was taken as it was part of the world war II.This made the mise en scene true to real life.As the pictures background is dark and mysterious and looks old and dirty and within a war nothing is ever spotless. I personally liked the moss on the stone that Laura is leaning on as it adds to the dirty surroundings that will be around.

Lauras face is very expressionless which makes the picture look very serious as we wanted the expression to be sad or determind. this is exactly what we got as she is looking determind by the way it looks as though she is having trouble but has a hand out for help, but a face which also says she is quite sad.

The text of the WORLD WAR III is a very basic font but is very effective as I think it looks very smart. the colour of the text is three colours gradient which helps it to stand out on our picture as it goes from light to dark which is one of the aspects that I really liked about the poster. When I got feedback of the poster from people of our target audience, they all said that they love the picture because of the way the main character is and also the background as it adds colour to it. they also said that if they saw this they would definatly look up the trailer to watch it to see what it is about. This is exactly what we were aiming for as we want that to happen, as this is part of consumption and advertising products.

The picture we are using in the poster has the main character in a green coat which we thought allowed the picture to have more colour in it as if we had black it would all seem to  dull which we want it to be portrayed as mysterious but we still wanted to catch the attention of our audience.

Green Screen


The Green Screen


We wanted to involve the green screen into the trailer to show that we can use a variety of techniques. we did do some shots for the trailer on it but we then decided to see if we could use the green screen for pictures that we could possibly use for the magazine cover or poster. The magazine and poster pictures we took did not look as good as what we wanted them to look. So we then decided to go out and find a location where we can actually take the photos to make them look more realisitc.
The more realisitc the photo looks the better the quality of the posetr and magazine cover.

Title Ideas

We came up with four title ideas, these are :
  • Trench 
  • Civilians
  • Last survivors
  • World War III
I personally liked the name World War III as it adds a modernised outlook onto the trailer. This also means that we can use modern day props if needed too.
 
When I asked my target audience what they thought about the names and what name they would like for it they answered:
 
feedback one : I think the name civilians is good as it sounds like what the plot is as it is normal people going into war which means they would not normally think about going into the war but one day civilians then have to make that choice to fight.
 
Feedback two : I don't like the name trench but I love the name world war III as it sounds very interesting and modern which allows for younger people to come and watch the trailer.which will help for a larger target audience. I like World War III as it says exactly what you are going to be watching and not making the audience guess what they are going to be watching.
 
feedback Three : I don't like the name civilians as it sounds too confusing on what is going to be about as it is a wide meaning of what it could be about, but I do like World War III as it says what is going to be and makes you understand what is going to happen.
 
From this feedback and more I have found that majority of people like the name World War III due to it being modernised.
