Film presentation

Film presentation
At the end of our media production for our trailer we had to create a poster explaining why we think our trailer is good and we expressed how we thought what scenes were effective and why, we also tried to link it to media theorists, we was very important as we could understand it better if we used our film trailer to link it too.In this presentation we reflected on what we needed to improve our media film from last year and we agreed we have created an even better film from last year, we also received feedback on what we could improve for our film trailer.
We have linked it to a film theorist who is todorov narrative theory, Todorov's theory suggests that all narrative follow a three part structure, starting with equilibrium which is nothing is going on everything is going smoothly and then something stops the equilibrium and causes a problem to occur.


Media Poster draft

Media Poster Draft
Media Poster draft done in Photoshop


In designing our poster we are going to have the villein/ the zombie in the middle of the poster, this will make the face more clearer and stands out, we also added some effect on the eyes in which I made it glow red which adds a creepy factor to the poster, but it isn't complete as its missing the title and important information as it helps the audience understand what the film is about




Media Poster draft done in Real life
This poster is our ideal idea as it has the position for where we want the title and the villain is also going to be on the poster in the middle of the page, when we get the poster complete we plan on using Photoshop and a high quality camera to give our poster a unique feeling to it and also want it to stand out as much as possible.



In the final deign phase of creating our poster we might decide to change the positions of titles and add extra features to the poster as we are very inexperience in design poster.

Interviews Callum

Interview Callum Davis
Character analysis
Callum is our third role and he plays a supporting character role where he helps the protagonist tom, he mainly helps tom when hes in trouble or needs a way to escape from problematic issues, in the interview callum expresses his feeling on his role and also has experience of being a supporting character making our film production feel more realistic.
We also tried to make callum as casual as possible to not got confused on which is the protagonist and whos the supporting character, also giving callum casual clothing makes the audience think that callum is unprepared for what is going to happen to Callum and Tom.

Interview - Tom 
Character analysis
Tom Cowley's role in our film is going to be the hero, he is going to be fighting the villain in our film he is a very important character in our film as he is going to follow the protagonist stereotypes in the film, his role is what our audience will be focusing on as they will be finding out what Tom feels about his role and also will find out in our film if he will change and defeat the villain in our film, Tom also has gotten previous experience with being a protagonist  which will make it easier for us to film as their will be less mistakes in the design phase.


Media Poster idea

Media poster
When deciding to create our poster we decided to have some similarities with the Avatar poster this is because the Avatar has a creepy and mysterious atmosphere we decided to take out the idea of having a face in the middle of the poster this is usually a position for an important character, we decided to use this position for the villain in our film, this is because this will get the audience to think why is the villain the only character on the poster and also brings up the idea that the film doesn't have a good ending. We decided to use face paint for our villain as it gave a more realistic feel to the character as it is seen as a more believable zombie, we also used photoshop to blacken the eyes to increase the creepy factor in the design of the poster.

The programs we used to create this media poster is photoshop and an Iphone, we used the Iphone to take the high quality picture of the villain then we cropped out unneeded areas which is when we used photoshop to shade out in black the bits we don't need, we also downloaded specific texts to make our poster a little but more unique compared to the other groups in our media class.

Institution Research

Institutions in film are argued as being central to a films success, they provide money and also advertising rights in trailer and films which can be used to intrigue an audience. Institutions such as Warner Brothers or Universal can captivate their audience and are also a vertically integrated company which makes it easier for the distribution of films which has a higher rate of success.

Our institution is called, "Infinite Movies" we chose this name based of the concept that the movies are forever revolving and we are infinite in our possibilities, different genre or any cinematic convention is possible which is effective as it shows that we have acquired a prestige in film and can achieve anything in our possibilities.


Warner Brothers: The Dark Knight Rises - $544,346,358 total gross


This is our production we created in blender we were inspired by 21 century fox but we changed it to suit our film, we thought this was a good idea as we wanted our film to look a bit more professional and decided to have something similar to 21st century fox production company.

Poster analysis

When designing the poster we kept it minimal, compared to other posters, but our poster provides a lot of enigmas that would confuse the ...
