Poster-

For the first ancillary task we decided to create a poster to promote our film. We researched many film posters and found what we liked and what needs to be included to make the poster successful. The most obvious thing we picked up on was that the poster would need a key image to the film to make it stand out and be attractive. We decided that we would take a picture of the antagonist in a dark tunnel with light showing his silhouette. Despite being limited to using a phone camera we managed to capture an effective image that was associated with our film.
We then added the film title on to our poster being sure to use the same font as was seen in the trailer itself so that the poster had inter house style. We also added our production company logo which we created ourselves as well as reviews of the film. We wanted to make the poster look professional so added the credits of the film onto the bottom of the poster just as other film posters do. We put it all together and we are very happy with the way it turned out looks very professional.




website home page-

this is the web banner which is displayed on the top of the web page also created on gimp (generated image manipulation program),along time was spent on this it is a animated banner, changing between two images that are set to fade into each other we used the same colour scheme and font all the way through make are film package , to make are film easily recognizable and people would see the poster and recognize the distinguishable style.

This is are website homepage which we made on gimp (generated image manipulation program). This also took a long time to produce as it is so much detail as you can see the web banner is displayed at the top of the home page we started by going out and getting several images of are own with the digital cameras, we started at the location we filmed at which is the north center bastion, in western heights Dover. We took several pictures inside the building, in various tunnels, we decided to get some from outside looking in to the tunnels with light behind us to give almost a silhouette, we looked at the descent film webpage which we felt was very successful this was using the light from behind to give off a silhouette style however this unparticular is very successful due to the face as the cast of the film all make up the shape of a human skull as you can see it is displayed. At the bottom of this post underneath are film website home page , we looked at several other horror films websites such as saw 6 webpage, www.saw6film.com
Furthermore we looked at the clover field movie which is filmed purely from hand held camera footage which is important to look at as a large element of are film is hand held , something we were inspired by about this website is it revels nothing about what the disruptive force is in this film, which leaves a large element of interest and wanting to know therefore enticing people into going to see the film.
www.cloverfieldmovie.com
We decided to incorporate this into are own project , as you can see from are web site there is no information on what the disruptive force is and even in the film poster there is a silhouette in the tunnel with light shining from behind , Therefore not revealing what the disruptive force is. As you can see there is everything you expect to see on a film homepage a certificate rating , a feedback terms of use and polices links which will give you a direct link to view are polices and terms of use back and leave and view feedback. Which a legal requirement is as is to clearly display the film rating certificate. And as some films do although this is not a legal requirement have quotes from well know media industries such as the daily telegraph which and display a 5 star rating. There is a vast amount of detail gone into this webpage for example, the central image on the page is one taken in the north center bastion and has been edited using gimp we used a build up of layers and filters to give the colour and distorted look to the image we had to darken by playing with the contrast settings and the light settings to accomplish the desired look. Which I feel we caught perfectly as you look at the image straight on you can see and empty tunnel if you look down on this image or tilt your screen down you can see several of the cast standing in the tunnel looking lost and disorientated.
Also I think the border makes the page look so much more effective. The border is actually from another picture we took inside the north center bastion which we cropped the two of the walls and distorted them and played about with contrast settings to get this look then faded them into the background making the images fade into black as they near the center of the page. The webpage main links light up in sequence around the page in a clockwise motion they also brighten up as you hover over them.
