Progress

 

Further inspiration

After deciding on a close up image for our poster we decided to research further into posters which feature this kind of image. The above three are ones which I found interesting and seemed to portray a similar kind of genre to our film, Race Against Time.

Poster Influences

We are now going throught the process of researching ideas for our film poster. We thought that the main focus of our poster should be a close up of our main character Scott's face. Despite the 'Ides Of March' not being from the same genre that our trailer would be placed in, we found that this particular shot could be used in order to reflect Scott's schizophrenia. Whilst the 'In Time' poster is from a similar genre and story line as our trailer and contains the close up image of the protagonist so can be used as inspiration for our poster. 

Race Against Time Trailer

Here is our amazing masterpiece, Woo! It's finally done! after all the hard work we're really proud of the outcome and proud of how we have worked together and achieved everything. Now...poster and magazine, here we come!

Voice over

We decided to create a voiceover in order to experiment with different ways of producing sound. The first is of a section of the phonecall between both Grant and Scott. The second is a voiceover of Scott  that will be used throughout the teaser trailer.






We have to split the sound into different sections and edit it into our trailer, mixing it in with our music that we currently have.

Deadline day!

Today is the deadline for our final edited teaser trailer. Our trailer is currently up to scratch and we managed to complete almost everything that we had hoped to do. After a few final touches with editing and sound our trailer will finally be complete.

Below is the stop motion clip that will be included in the trailer, we wanted to use this in order to portray a sense of Scott's schizophrenia. I think that the clips work well in some aspects, however the lighting is  slightly off in comparison to the other clips in which the stop motion will be placed. Hopefully we will be able to edit the lighting within this clip so that it fits in with what we already have.

We were unable to do the split screen that we had planned as when the footage was trimmed and cropped to fit the screens some of the footage was cut away, we didn't want to risk putting it into our trailer as we may get marked down for attention to framing.

Other than these few slight problems I am really pleased with the current stage of our work, the next step will be to begin thinking about film poster and magazine ideas. We have taken many photographs throughout the filming process so hopefully we will be able to use one of these images for our poster and magazine cover.
