Feedback on Film poster

We have got fairly good feedback for our film poster, mainly from people who have seen the film and understand that the characters eyes are a reoccurring theme in the piece. We also got good feedback on how professional the poster looked because we had included the name of our production company, along with details of who had played what role at the bottom of the poster and a quote from critics and these are all features that you would expect to see on every film poster.

Group Meeting 4

Since our last meeting we have had a re-shoot and have made the appropriate changes to the opening. We have also edited the film together and produced a soundtrack. A poster has also been created. We have decided now that we need to gather some feedback for the poster and then evaluate the project separately on our own blogs.

Film Poster/DVD Cover

This is the final version of our DVD cover. The eye in the center represents the eye of the "stalker" featuring in our film, and is aimed to catch the attention of the potential audience. The lighting also provides an eerie effect, whilst the bold titles and review quotes also appeal to the audience.

I used Adobe Photoshop to create this poster after careful planning and analysis of other film posters from the thriller genre.

Logos for our film

Having decided on a name for our production, we decided to think about which sort of image to associate with the production name. The chosen name for our production is 'Fallen Angel Productions' We thought this was a good idea as it has relevance to our thriller, because the stalker in our thriller is called Lucifer and also, we wanted quite a weird and creepy but also quirky name for our production, so that's how we came up with the idea.

I then created 3 possible designs for a logo.....

Fallen Angel Productions design 1

This image gives an idea of falling out of the sky, hence the cloud and slanted titles. The lightening bolt, colour of the cloud, and devilish letters convey the sense that an angel has turned bad. We know it's an angel becuase of the text and because of the addition of wings and haloes on the text.

Fallen Angel Productions design 2

Again this conveys the theme of an angel, through the image of wings, and could be a suitable design for our logo.

Fallen Angel Productions design 3

The 3rd and final design portrays the idea relevant to our production name- that an angel has turned bad (fallen) and the halo is slanted as if it has slipped off the angel's head and is falling. The letters are also slanted to give the falling effect and the titles are again coloured in red with reference to a devilish theme.

Use of costume in our thriller

There are two main actors in our thriller movie: Lucifer (antagonist) and Lily (protagonist). Costume plays an important part in our thriller as it define's the characters' personalities and sets the scene to give an idea of the sort of environment they are in. It conveys as an important element for mise en scene. The costumes are both 'work clothes' so we needed to use smart clothing, to depict an idea that the two characters are part of a working environment.
Lucifer's costume:
- Black trousers
- White shirt
- Black tie
- Black jumper
- Black shoes.
We used smart officewear so that he would blend into a an office-working environment. We also used this smart clothing (tie) to show he has a slight OCD over his appearance. The clothes emphasized a neat and tidy look. His costume also lacks colour and is mainly black to show that he is quite a mysterious and quiet character.

Lily's costume:
-Black trousers
-White shirt
- Black boots
- Grey blazer
- Black bag.
Again we used smart clothing to show that Lily too, is part of a working environment. It also shows that these two characters work for the same company. Lily's costume gave her a sophisticated look.

So costume definately plays an important role in our thriller, and we hope that this will define the characters and help to present the storyline clearly and effectively.
