Modified Storyboard

We have decided to change parts of the scene. This is the new update café scene. Today is the day we wish to get this filmed in order to have all the filming done and ready for editing!

Voxpop feedback

Here is a rough idea of our poster after hearing feedback from our peers. We deceided to have a close up on my face as after all, I is the main character in the film. However, instead of Susanna hugging into Terrance, there is a black figure in the backgroud to convey there is someone watching her every move. To bring out more features of film noir, we decided that their should be smoke around the characters to convey the gangsters presence and the title writing will be formed from the smoke. Therefore this idea, does not show a romance but a mistery, it shows the main character, the smoke makes the film mysterious and the writing no longer looks femine but creative.

This is an idea Steph had from the feeback

Modified Poster Design Ideas

We have decided to change the design layout of the picture on our poster. We have decided to change this because of another poster we have seen, which was created for a similar film. This poster came from the film Basic Instinct.

 

 

On this poster we liked the way the direct address attracted the reader’s attention, however it also showed the evil in the woman’s personality. She is looking directly into the camera which suggests that she is in control or has a large amount of power. This also looks dominant because of the way she is holding the male character. She is digging her nails into his back which suggests that she has this dominance because of the violence she appears to show.

 

For our film poster, we would like to have Terrance and Susanna stood like this, however in reverse position. We would like Terrance to look like the dominant one, and Susanna to look like the vulnerable one. This is because we have used a subvert of the typical film noir theme. We would also like Terrance’s red tie to be showing bright in the black and white photo. By having the photo in black and white (or with some effect) will show the conventions of film noir.

 

Below. we have shown a sketch to show what our new film poster should look like. This is very basic and some things have been put in the wrong place. For example, the title of the film (Reverie) will be in the bottom third of the poster. This is because it is less important than the picture itself.
