Finalising

Handmade Titlecard 

Film Magazine 

Original Poster

In these screenshots we can see how different my titlecard, film magazine and film poster were when we started this project, during the finalising process changes were made, personally I think that they were for the better. This post is just to show how things evolve when we work, ideas that may seem good at the time, later make no sense and seem inadequate. 

Genre of my production

My coursework production DIRE can be classed in a few different genres, such as drama/action/British social realism. The reason for this is that includes some different aspects of these genres. The name of the film "DIRE" seems very action genre, however the content of the film involves depression which can be seen as more of a drama. However I believe that it fills the role of a social realism film due to it being about life stories, drugs and happiness.

License Free Music

License Free Music

In my search for license free music I have been through many different websites searching for the right piece to go with my production, I have created my own music and was planning on using it, however I found a piece that I feel better suit the edits I was planning on doing. I am unable to post it due to it not being an image. The title of the piece is "Quiet". It isn't actually quiet, id say its a pretty respectable decibel level plus it works well with the film.

Coursework parts 2 & 3 production

As part of my A2 coursework task I must create a film trailer as well as an original movie poster for the film, and the cover of a magazine featuring my film as its main headliner. I have decided to create these on photoshop as it it best qualified for job, hence why photoshop is regarded as the industry standard.

For the magazine cover i have just tried to get a normal layout of what film magazines look like (usually), I still need to do a bit of work to it before it stars looking like a professional film magazine front cover. The image is most likely to change due to it not really showing anything about the film, I plan on getting more images that could be used as the cover in due course. As for the rest of it i may have to updated some of the dates and films featured because it was started late last year.

This is what I have been working on for my productions original poster, it shows the name of the film including tagline, prop cocaine poured out onto a cutting mirror, pile of money in the background and the characters' lighter, which is incased within a shotgun shell. I took this photograph personally, so it is all original, the title of the film has been edited to be made from cocaine, although its just hard to see. This was done in reference to my old poster idea with blue sky coming through the dark clouds. The award sticker in the top corner has been put there just to see where I could include some handmade awards for the final piece, as to give it that independent film look. The titles in the lower portion of the poster will stay the same despite those people not actually being in the film anymore (except Danny dyer, he was never in it).
