NEW SCREENPLAY

Once we had begun editing our short film we realised that the voice over didn't quite match what was on the film and so we decided that we needed to change it. We had to move around a few scenes in the filming and then add a few lines too the script. 

INT. Characters house- morning

Blank screen

Underwater noise can be heard, characters eyes open

HARVEY (V.O):

All my friends writing on my Facebook that they miss me, where are they?

HARVEY (V.O):

FILMING UPDATE







This a vlog that we created on our last day of filming. At this point we was on our way to film the park scene. We only had this part to finish and to film the car scene, however by the time we finished all the bits at the park we had no time to finish the car part. This means that we need to arrange another day to film to fully complete our piece. Other than this all the bits we filmed today and the week before are completed and will not need to be re-filmed.

EMPIRE- TEXTUAL ANALYSIS

The page layout of reviews are often similar, there are conventions of how things are set up on the page. The main layout usually has its focus around the pictures, which are usually shots from the film. The text is usually below the picture as the pictures are usually quite large, there is normally one large picture then some smaller ones.



In the corner of the pictures there are often very small comments, usually a witty interpretation of the image. These are not present in all film magazines but the are used in Enpire.







The film title should be in a bold font somewhere above the beginning of the text, it is often layereed over the main picture. The main text is set out in columns like you would see in a newspaper, this is generally the layout used in all magazines. Quotes from the review are often taken out and enlarged somewhere else on the page, this highlights important bits of information which often sums up the reviewers feelings.

Basic information is kept in a text box near the start of the bulk of tect. Infomation includes director, notable actors, producers, release date, certficate, run time and a small synopsis of the plot. This gives the reader general information about the film which will allow them to decide whether they want to read on.


To summarise the content of the review a verdict is usually present in a review, this will be in a text box and will include the final opinion on the film folloed by a star raiting.

FILM POSTER DRAFT- FEEDBACK RESPONSE


FILM POSTER DRAFT- FEEDBACK

I have completed my final verision of my film poster and I am happy with the result but it is important to get the opinion of otherd as my opinion alone is not valid. I will interview one of my peers these are the questions that I will ask them:

- Which do you prefer, portrait or landscape?
- How effective do you think my film poster is overall? Do you think that the text works well with the picture?
- Do you think that the photo in the poster is appropriate for my film?
- Do you think that the poster looks like a legitimate film poster?
- Would you change anything about it?
