Presentation

This is our presentation for our planning and research where we presented our moodboard, storyboard and other planning. We presented our ideas to the audience and received feedback which was useful as it allowed us to understand what a specipic aged audience wanted in a film and also what could be improved on what we had already created.

Costume ideas

Black Dress; connotation for elegance, beauty, succesfull woman, and classic. The reasons behind choosing the black dress was because it is simple and elegant. It is also a type of dress that any woman can relate to, hence relating to the character. In the world of fashion, black will never go out of trend. This is an important aspect as it means that the wardrobe is flexible in terms of using different eras for inspiration. Many designers and stylists quote that every girl needs a black dress in her wardrobe. It can be worn to work as it is sophistocated and smart, yet it can be worn to a glamorous party with a touch of jewellery and red lipstick. The black dress instantly sets an impression of a beautiful, elegant and sophistocated woman. This is the impression we want to give the audience as it represents Julie well as a character. We also felt it was important have obvious connotations from the wardrobe which insinuates what type of character Julie is as it is only a trailer and so everything must be made clear to the audience.

The reason we chose red lips is because it represent a provocative attitude, beauty and femininity. It also enhances Inspirational figures include Audrey Hepburn and Edie Sedgwick.

Poster analysis

The first thing that came to mind when looking at this poster was how the impact was very stong and the poster being rather ani-conventional. I believe it goes against conventions as it is incredibly minimalistic in terms of detail and information but also the layout and use of image is unusual. The poster does not list any information of actors which is something that is conventionally used in a poster. The reason as to why this poster is so bold is because an audience is not always used to seeing something so simple and 'in your face'. the male's face in the background takes up the whole poster and is unconventionally placed behind the text so that the text is the main focus rather than the photograph. as the poster itself does not give much away, i believe this is the reason as to why the message is so important and must dominate the whole visual space. the text reads 'YOU DON'T GET TO 500 MILLION FRIENDS WITHOUT MAKING A FEW ENEMIES' the text is in all capitals which also adds to the shock factor. the poster could be seen as risky as it goes against every convention. however it does create a huge impact and leaves the audience wanting to know more; the less information there is, the more you want to know. The ONLY clue given to the audience about the film is the side bar of what appears to immitate the facebook tool bar which can be easily recognised by most younger generations of people which would probably be the target audience of the film due to the main topic being about socuial networking and the image of the male being around a younger age group; perhaps from 17-20 years of age. the poster is very bluntly displayed which creates curiosity amongst the viewers. The large image in the back ground is behing the text but very importantly leaves the eyes uncovered as this creates a direct connection with the audience and can draw in more attention. Overall, I personally like this poster very much as i am also for the idea of less is more and to use simplistic idfeas that can produce a bold impact and going against conventions can also suggest something more different, exciting and innovative.

TOC

Here is the final draft of my TOC. I have used colour schemes that run throughout my magazine including the front cover in order to create a sense of order and general theme of the magazine. I have also used images that would attract my target audience as they include young people and also represent the genre of my magazine well. I also made sure to incoporate a key point where i have taken in account of analysing other magazines and following some conventions in order for my own to look proffesional.
























Here is the first draft of mt TOC. It is rough and i have only began to come up with ideas for font styles and what text I will put in the content. I have also began to consider what editorial pillars i wil use.
