FINAL SHORT FILM - Voice over 2

Tempus - Voice-Over 2
It's similar to the previous one, except I've rearranged some audio levels. After receiving feedback from people whom were shown this film, they all said the audio at the start over-powered the narration and that Alex 2 was too quiet. Hopefully, this has been fixed in this render.

Tempus - voice over 1


Though the lack of voice-over made it more mysterious, it also left the audience clueless. I've added the voice-over back in. It fits with the narrative quite well, like Alex is explaining the story to the therapist.

Tempus

Tempus
This is our final piece. We changed the script, yet again, to make it more serious and mysterious. Still the same concept as the previous piece, but this leaves more for the audience to figure out.
The camera shots are not only more visually pleasing, but also add to the story, through use of angles.
I added to and improved the video effects. Especially the Skype call. It looks a lot better than the previous one, which had no FX and looked horrific.
In terms of sound, I removed the voice over. This makes the film more mysterious. I also added music. It helps the film flow and influences the audience as to what they should feel.

Nearly Finished magazine review (missing pictures)


I started to look at a few more movie reviews and when I looked at where the pictures were presented I realised that they often had a quotation in the corner or slap bang in the middle of the picture. So I chose one of the interesting things that we had said and chose: "It Creates a Goblet of Questions, before, during and After the Film." I thought that this would draw the readers in as it's quite articulate and interesting it makes you wonder what kind of questions that would have to be asked and starts to make the reader want to watch the movie so they can start to think of the questions they should ask.

Whats important to think about when creating a film poster?

- Getting the image right
- Not giving too much away
- Attacting peoples eye so they want to go see the film
- Informing people what actors/actresses are in the film
- Informing people who was the directors etc who created the film
- Using the space well and not overcrowding the poster with text
- Using colour well, not too much or too little
- Making sure a good font is used
- Make sure ALL important information is on there
- Contrast between the text and picture

This vidoe is one of the things i wantched in order to gather resurch on how to make a effective movie poster...

POSTER - what image will I use? why is this important?

The photograph is the most important thing about the flm poster in my opinion. This is the image you are using to advertise your film to the public therefore it needs to try and represent the film in one image. You dont want to use a photography of something that gives away too much otherwise people wont feel the need to come and see it. I am currently in the procces of the image I want to use in the film poster as I want to make sure I get it right. I am stuck between two image that are toally differet and have two different feels to them.

The first image I am thinking about using is one of all the boys whom play alex throughout the film at different ages. The thing I like about this is you can imidatly see the conection of these boys which is esental for the viewer however the picture looks more like a fmaily photo and it may give off the wrong impression of our film. The second image wa sof the time traveler with his head down so you cant see his face at all and is dresse in head to toe in dark colours. This image shows this figure as mysterious and works well creating tention.

bellow is some example of good film posters





I think all these posters are good as they get across all the imformation film posters should and used an image effectivly. One thing thats important s the lay out of the poster as this is essential in order for the poster not to look too crowded.

The image I use for our film poster needs to be as effective as all these ones in order to achieve what I want from this part of the advertising.
