Final Cut for Video

Short Film Second Draft

Here is a complete version of my short film, with everything filmed.
Upon re-watching my first draft and discussing with my teacher we felt that my film needed more structure as the storyline was not clear and wasn't easily understood by the audience.

To do this, I used a short film convention of adding in dialogue through the use of text on-screen. I felt this looks effective and give the film a more silent film style while also helping to add structure to the film. Furthermore, it allowed me to enhance the stereotype of someone from Hull as I have purposely misspelled the text in so that the audience or forced to read in a hullsensian accent, I felt this also added a little humour and more audience interaction to my film.

First Edit

This is first draft for my short film. The blank gaps are for the parts of the film that I am yet to film.

I have the main bulk of the 'journey' finished, with Alfie biking around.
I still have the opening sequence of Alfie getting ready, and the final sequence of Alfie getting changed into the suit and getting into the car.

Furthermore I have the research and planning for my ancillary texts and also the production to get done.

I aim to have all of my film shot, and ancillary texts researched, planned and production started by February half term.

Ancillary Text: Film Poster FINAL

Ancillary Text: Film poster Second Draft

Here is my second draft for the film poster ancillary text. I feel that this is an improvement in that it features no use of unorinal images. Furthermore, the split down the middle is further enhanced with the random placing of the 'bad side' on the right, and the neat placement of the 'good side', this gives a little more information to the audience about the characters and may further entice them to ask questions about why this difference is, in seemingly the same person?

Ancillary Text: Film Poster First Draft UNORIGINAL IMAGE

Here is a mock up for my first draft of my film poster for my Ancillary text. The images of Alfie are the only ones I've taken, with the backgrounds of both sides being un-original images. 

Ancillary Text Final: Film magazine review

This was actually the first draft that I changed the colour scheme for, and I felt that it looked far more effective relative to a simple white background. Furthermore, black fits better with the darker connotations of my film. I also changed the font to 'american typewriter' which meant that there was more continuity from my main text and ancillary text, as this was the font that I used for the dialogue of my silent film.
I added the yellow box behind the title of my film, as yellow has connotations of hazards, as it is the main colour in hazard signs/symbols and therefore it will stand out to my audience far more.
