Tube advertising poster

We used a website which our lecturer showed us which meant you could upload our poster and it would embed in a video on either the side of a bus or in a tube station. We chose the tube station and below is the video which was created. This is really good to show advertising and the website is a good use of new technology.

Teaser Poster

This is our first draft of the poster for our film. We have done a teaser poster to give you the basics of what will be on the poster. This includes the main image, the title of the film, 'coming soon' and a viral website address..

The website address at the bottom is different to the website shown in our trailer because this is a viral website where members of the public can go and upload their own thoughts on what the 'unknown' actually is. They can write on forums about the film and upload their videos explaining their own theories on what the unknown is and even their own paranormal experiences. This is a great way to get publicity for the upcoming movie and advertise it's big release.

I am really happy with the way our first draft has turned out, we need to develop this teaser poster further and add in quotes from directors or movie magazines giving it ratings etc. We will also add in the release date and hopefully try and edit the main image a bit further.

Planning for our magazine cover

This is our first plan for our movie poster. For it to be completed, we need to add in one of the images I have taken and by changing the font and font size. We will be using the same font we used in our

trailer to make it more coherent and for the two things to link together.

Here is the second plan but this time we have incorporated the font we want to use for the title. Already it looks a lot stronger because the genre is coming through solely on the font.

We just need to add in the image to the poster and we might have to add in some more text.

Images for poster (unedited)

Here are the best photographs out of the shoot I did for an image for the poster of our movie. These are the un-edited versions of the photographs and next we need to edit them on photoshop to make it into black and white and enhance certain areas as well as add it titles etc.

Feedback on our trailer so far...

After uploading our trailer a week ago to YouTube and to our Blogger page, we have received a few comments already telling us what the like and think we could have done better.

Here are the comments...

Above is a screen shot from my facebook page in which I put a link to our trailer on and asked people to comment on it. We had two comments back both with positive comments. They both said it would be a film they would want to see and said that it was very atmospheric.

Uploading our trailer to YouTube

Today we watched our trailer through again and showed our lecturer again to check that everything was right and there were no more tweaks hat had to be made. Everything was how we wanted and our lecturer was really happy with the trailer we went ahead and uploaded it to YouTube.

We first had to create an account on YouTube, which was easy enough, and then from iMovie we uploaded it to YouTube from the 'share' toolbar. This is a screen shot to show our trailer on YouTube.

The next step is to share the YouTube link on our Facebook pages and share the link to our blog to get comments from other people. This is to get feedback from other people to see what they like about it and what they don't like about it. Doing this, it will help us with writing our evaluation because we can talk about about what we would change if we were to do it again.

Below is a screen shot showing that I have posted a link on Twitter to try and get people to check out our trailer on YouTube. Hopefully people will see this and comment on it.
