For our group, we made a video, talking about the different sheets we have produced, such as the production schedule, characters and their costumes, and we also filmed them talking about the location of the courtyard, classrooms and corridor. Ryan then edited the short clip on iMovie, then uploaded it onto Youtube. Using iMovie, different titles, transitions, and other effects were added. As well as the locations and the printed sheets, music was also added. One of the pieces of music that was put in was composed by Max, and will be used for Charlie's imagination scene, for when he imagins himself leaning in for a kiss with Gabriella. Ryan also added the music which we might use for our montage scene. I have added both songs, so everyone can see which one is better, and which song would fit that part of the film. The music for that part was done by the artist, Shaheen. As well as Max and Shaheen's music, he also added the songs which our group might use for the second last scene, when we see Max preparing Charlie to go up to Gabriella, and Charlie is acting all cool, as well as dressing a bit more cool, unlike his geek outfit. The songs which go into consideration for this scene are by UnkleJam.
I took photos of the location our group is using for our short film, it is set in our college. We are using a classroom, benches, courtyard, hallways The bench (in the photo) is the bench that Charlie and Max will have there lunch on, and the other bench is where Gabriella and Sophie will be sitting, outside the classroom. The corridor is where Charlie will walk through, towards Gabriella when he leans in for his imaginary kiss.and the montage scene will be shot in a bedroom.
Between our group members we discussed ideas in how to create our poster. We came up with many different ideas that we couldn't agree on so we decided on mixing them together and came up with something we were all really liked.
Background: White (Yellow Border)
Writing: Yellow (Black Outline)
The character at the top left is Gabriella and top right is Max. Both their bodies we plan to fade into the background. The character in the middle is Charlie. We plan to split him in half and fade it together to show his geek side (on the right) and to show his cool side (on the left).
We then had the title at the bottom in a curve, curving upwards.
We have placed all the characters and wording in particular places to create a smiley face. i.e. Max and Gabriella's heads being eyes, Charlie's being a nose, and Smile being the smiley mouth. It is similar to the image below.
Here are some examples of some famous Romantic Comedy posters. You can spot the similarity between them all. They all have white backgrounds, bold writing and a bright happy vibe to them.
