issues with filming

I found out the actor I was playing on using as the main character wont be in until after the holidays. so I had to make some changes. I've made shayanne the main character and Maha a new character to play Mary's friend. For today I will be focusing on my magazine and film poster.

making magazine front cover



I had to change my actor so I've taken a new photograph but I've kept everything the same on my magazine front cover, I had to just change the name from 'Films court' to 'Replay' to make it sound like a film magazine.

I had to make some changes to my design as it was to big to fit the screen in imovie. The name Nylon came up because i was thinking of the fabric and also i think it sounds good.

Ihad to fill the background of my institution name in black on photoshop.

Taglines for film poster


I've dedcided to use 'We all change at some point', because it goes with my storyline; the whole idea of changing and trying to fit in within the British culture (clash of cultures).

product research, teaser trailers


































































The teaser trailer scenes are no longer than 3 seconds; it’s quick and picks up the pace once the man is introduced by riding his bike. Most of the shot changes are either done by slit screen or black out, which gives an insight to what the scene is about. Not much dialogue is used, it doesn’t give to much away. There is also no voice over only music being played through out the teaser trailer which gives a clear idea that this movie is an adventure film and set in one location.
