Revised Review

I have upped the rating to a four star for consistency with Callum's poster which says my review gave a four star rating. 

I have also replaced the photo from Happily Ever After as Miss Stone suggested in her feedback.

My Review.

Poster

Callum made the poster for our group and I made the review. This is our finished poster. The process can be found on Callum's blog 'http://www.remasteredmedia.blogspot.com'

Final Poster

Having looked back on more feedback, Callum has changed the font colouring for the actor's names. So now that has been rectified, here is our final poster:

The choice to have a simple white background was made based on other Rom-Com posters I have analysed previously, with Callum looking at the camera as he is the person we empathise with. Also, Callum is the person we follow through the story, and he is the only one that understands the absurdity of Benjy's chat-up lines.

I supplied Callum with a white version of my production company logo which was created in my AS media.

My Final Product - Happily Ever After

My Final Product -Happily Ever After

Callum and I are going to do a video commentary on the pre-production, post-production and production of our film.

Changes in my final film

1. I used our new font (Bachelor Pad College) instead of the previous font (Jellyka Delicious Cake). 

Reasons:

• It conforms to the conventions of a media american blockbuster better than the previous font.
• Its clearer and easier to read.
• The last font resembled a drama which might confuse our audience. Though the previous font makes subtle links to the story, subtlety is rarely found in american blockbusters.
• Our last font was only appropriate during the wedding sequence whereas the new font is appropriate throughout the whole film.
• Our film is set around two schoolboys so a font which resembles an American college is more appropriate.
• As a blockbuster, it makes more sense to pick a font which will appeal more to our target audience.

2. I added footsteps and sound in a part of the film which previously had no sound due to editing error.

Reasons:

• the lack of sound was unintentional so I have rectified this error.

Callum's edits

Callum and I have edited separately but used each others edits, outcomes and experiments, to determine what our final pieces are going to be like. As a result, we have shared the workload of trying different film techniques out and therefore produced more potential film ideas.

Here are Callum's outcomes:

Happily Ever After - First Final Draft

I still need to add a small bit of audio and the title font needs concideration

Potential Poster 1

Based off mine and Callum's research of romantic comedy posters, we made this poster based off the Failure to Launch Poster featured below. This poster has me looking at the camera because my character is meant to seem like he is in control of everything and by looking into the camera he acknowledges an audience which shows his awareness above the other characters. My character is the meddling friend trying to help Callum get the girl he is interested in. Callum looks at Poppy and is unaware of an audience because him and Poppy are meant to fancy each other without acknowledging the un-realistic schemes led by my character.

This is the original photo. I have edited out all logos for copyright reasons. I have moved myself and Callum closer to Poppy and I have edited out the background and replaced it with white for editing purposes. I have also made myself, Callum and Poppy bigger so to be more eye catching.

My Edit: First Draft - Happily Ever After

I still need to add titles and music.

Happily Ever After - improved rough cut

iCan - context edit

This is the context edit for the iCan idea. We would have made the screen circular and we would have animated the can a bit more but we decided this wasn't enough to push us and started working on new ideas. This was edited and filmed by Callum.
