CONSTRUCTION: FILMING

Filming- LOVE 
SCENE

Today, we filmed the love scene with Daisy and her "love interest". Prior to filming, my partner and I were sceptical of how this was going to look, as it was vital it was realistic and heart warming.
The scene was by no means easy to film, as creating a romantic ora was extremely difficult to do.

We focused on close ups of the hands, as previously we have looked into how hands and actions are a good way of displaying emotions, feelings and a good idea of the overall situation. I have expanded on this idea in this BLOG POST.

When I edit this scene, I want to make it fast, cutting each scene in quickly. I want to do this because teenage love is a whirlwind, and I can represent this via the editing.

We did have to go back and film more of these scenes as at first it wasn't enough to work with and didn't underpin the "flirtatious banter" clearly enough. I have created a GIF, in order to show some photos of the process of editing.

PLANNING: IN DESIGN

In Design

Recently, I have been introduced to a software called "In Design", in order to create my movie poster. In the lesson, I was taught the basics, and hope to learn more and more as I create different innovative designs.

 In the small amount of time I had in the lesson to experiment with the software, I started to try varying effects using the actual photo I want to use on the movie poster itself. Through previous research which can be found elsewhere on the blog, I have planned how I want the final poster too look. I experimented with different cartoon effects on the picture, and also cut around the image itself, deleting the unwanted background.






I also experimented with different ways to display the fonts, and found that "In Design" allows you many more options than Photoshop regarding displaying of fonts. I discovered the "type on a path", which was really effective in the way in which it was displayed, I hope to use this in my final poster, as it displays the varying skills I've learnt using a completely new software.

PLANNING: PHOTOSHOP

Photoshop

After researching all of the film posters and taking the still shots of the photo I desired, I went straight to work familiarising myself with a software I haven't used much before, Photoshop. I tried my best to make sure the bright and young feel of the poster was executed well, and experimented using different colours and backgrounds, and images which I felt related to the age and personality of not only the character but also the desired audience. I found pros and cons of photoshop, and though I do hope to use it in my final film poster, I will also research and experiment using a different software.

PROS: Easy to import images, easy to change background, easy to move the image, easy to revert back mistakes.

CONS: Hard to erase the background successfully, hard to write with different fonts.

From researching this film poster, I have taken many key factors that I would like to use when I do my final edit. The varying colours and enlarging of important fonts is what I found most successful and feel that overall this is engaging for the young teen audience.

CONSTRUCTION: THE HONOURABLE WOMAN

The Honourable Woman

To create intensity of emotion, to convey moments and to draw audience attention to key narrative devices, film makers often use close-up of hands. Hands are very expressive. Below is a collage of hands taken from The Honourable Women, a 2015 TV drama.
Next to this is a collage taken from my own film Dreaming Daisy in which I have used similar techniques.
