Poster Editing

Why I didn't choose numbers 1-6:

1) Whilst I liked the contrast between the Black and Colour as they reflected my trailer I felt that the line bewteen them made the whole poster and photograph look unprofessional.

2) The second poster looked slightly better as I covered half the face with a colour block at 'Opacity' tool to 40% using Adobe Photoshop however I wanted the audience to either see half of his face or the whole face not a bit of both as I felt it gave away 'the twins' one being good and one being evil without being subtle about it.

3) Using the main actor's whole face I wanted to connect with the audience however I realised that it made him look vulnerable as he was looking straight into the camera with a sad expression.

4) Yet again the whole look became unprofessional as the 'Burn' tool on photoshop managed to turn his face dark purple instead of blacked out so that was out of the quesiton.

5) This was one of my favourite from the above however after taking the opinions of other media students I found that when the veiwer look at the poster their gaze went straight to the block of colour instead of to the actor, who should be the main subject of the photograph.

6) The main difference between 6 and the final poster was the colour of the main title 'Recollection' the reason I changed it from white to navy was because it didnt stand out compared to the other writing, like the tag line, on the poster.

Why I picked the 'Final Poster'

The poster I chose gave the story of the two sides without being to obvious, it also allowed the veiwer to concentrate solely on the main actor as the background was an out of focus grey. The text looked better in navy as it went with the colour scheme of blue (actor's shirt) white and grey. These nuetral colours were used to give the poster a simple yet effective look similar to 'The Bourne Identity'

I used this one as I felt it connected most with the viewerI didn't use this as he wasn't looking directly at the camera

To create the posterized effect I messed arond on photoshop until I found what I was looking for. It also allowed me to Desaturate the picture but edit the darkness of each colour. Therefore you can still see colour through the black.

Searching with 'Action'
Choosing out of these -

Casting

Main Role: Mandour AlMahadi
Why?: The reason I chose Mandour was beacuse he had a rough look about him, needed in a n action hero. He also had the right build, tall and muscular, as action hero's must appear to be able to protect. As a plus he could also act without laughing.

Supporting Roles:
Yacine: I chose Yacine as one of the assasins as he was tall and well built, not taller than Mandour therefore it allowed the main character to be at the centre. A problem with Yacine was that he kept laughing unlike Mandour therefore I gave him a supporting role instead of the main role.

Titles Slates

To set up the storyline I need a few Titles slates, too many can give away the Sotryline too little and the audience will be confused.
