PLANNING:SHOT LIST

Here you can see the Shot List which we have created. It clearly shows what happened, and what was required in each scene of our movie. This clear layout was created on excel as you can easily access tables and looks highly professional when it is completed. This style of shot list is very easy to follow as everything which is required while filming is clearly noted, for example what props will be need and who will be needed to film. This shot list combined with the call sheets and story board made it very easy to plan and create our movie.

CONSTRUCTION : MY FILM POSTER

I took responsibility with Milo for designing and constructing a film poster for our film Nine. As we developed our ideas, we sought feedback from our group and from our target audience. The reason for creating a poster was to demonstrate that we knew how to attract and address our target audience. In Photoshop, we used a mid shot of our protagonist overlooking the rugby pitches. We used this specific photo as it emits a masculine vibe, clearly shows our genre of sports and the emotional battle of the protagonist, how he is torn in two different directions. Our target audience of young men, are likely to be sports fans and relate to themes and the plot. The genre is clearly addressed as he is wearing his rugby jersey with the number 9 on his back, the position which he plays. He is also holding a rugby ball to clearly show the target audience this is a film they will enjoy as it revolves around rugby.

In Photoshop we added the protagonist name at the top of the poster to clearly show who is acting in the film. We made this a large title as actors play a large role in the reason for people going to see films, as this actor is unknown, promoting him like this is to promote his name. Underneath the actors's name is a tagline which relates to the story of the movie, the idea that 'one decision can change it all'. This shows the audience just how much of a big decision the protagonist faces as one decision in his life could change it forever. The title is the largest text on the photo to show the audience exactly what the film is called. This is vital in terms of getting our film to our target audience as they need to know the title of our film to be able to enquire about seeing it and visiting our social media pages. The release date of the film is also at the bottom of the poster to let our target audience know exactly when the film is to be released in cinemas.

We have had very positive feedback about this poster, and we believe this poster will be instrumental in attracting our target audience and our film becoming a success. We will also put our poster on our Facebook, twitter, Instagram and our webpage.

DISTRIBUTION : OUR INSTAGRAM

Here is an image of the instagram page which I made to further the distribution of our film, raising awareness for it, prior and after release. This Instagram page will let our target audience see important information about our film such as release date, or important updates about production. This lets our target audience feel more involved in the production of our film until the release, this will make our audience feel more involved in the process and growth of the film, making them more inclined and excited to see the movie.

Our film production team is aware that the target audience for a film about a young man and rugby is likely to be predominantly male. However, in the same way as 'Star Trek' designed their most recent P&A in order to attract the female demographic which traditionally did not turn out for 'Start Trek' movies, we think that we can reach female audiences through Instagram. This is because many young women in particular use Instagram for fashion and lifestyle reasons. I have also noticed that film fans use Instagram to build collections of fan pictures e.g. hashtag wolverine. In addition many film fans like using Instagram to recreate particular, specific 'looks' in order to mimic their favourite directors, I found this from www.vulture.com.
