Colours and design ideas/ RMA Inspiration

For my poster and magazine cover i want the image to really stand out and be iconic for the Shadow movie, for example screams iconic image is the white ghost mask and when people see this they tend to talk about the movie which is what i want to create with my advertisement package.











For the colours i think darker colours would best suit the image that i am hoping to have as they will best compliment the dark and dingy feel of the poster and help tell the audience that this is in the horror genre of films.

For the layouts i went back to my trailers that i looked at and looked at the posters which helped advertise their films.
 This is the You're Next poster and i really like how the image is the entire poster i think using this idea for my poster will help create that iconography of The Shadow that i am hoping to achieve. What i also like about this is the text as it is different to the standard text on the Paranormal activity poster however things like the release date being quite small in that writing is hard to read so differentiating the font is key for my poster as i want it to be informative as well as eye catching.






This is the Paranormal Activity 4 poster and this has a smaller image but more use of text which i really like, The use of text to make a slogan or phrase helps people who may not have seen the first paranormal activities get an idea of what they are and although my final poster may not have 2 Phrases the use of one is key. You're Next also has this use of a slogan with "Did you remember to lock your door?" This is a good phrase as if the audience were looking at the poster that is asking them a question it will make them think.

Don't forget to evidence some research for your ancillary products and get another draft up of your trailer soon. Any audience feedback yet?

There are some really good moments here. I like the structure. You need to get the rest of the filming uploaded asap and get rid of all the gaps. I like the shot of the lights flickering and the one outside at night works well. You need to consider how you will end it and add some music to create atmosphere.

Well done for including your audience feedback. I'm concerned about your lack of updates on your blog. Please update asap, get more filming done and a draft up.

Cut down text length
Add background music
Add frames that show the haunintg gradually and in different areas
Ilike how it is in a realistic way with the conversation with the grandad as if your talking to him
Good door closing and shadow clip
More sounds to give edge
Try using some filters
Some shots need re-filming as their dark
Some scenes too long

You are a bit behind in your deadlines Callum. Make sure you catch up over half term. I really like your storyboard. You have thought about the camera shots and the structure works really well. I'm impressed. Make sure you think about the pace as all the shots seem to be the same length at the minute.
