FILM REVIEW 4

I added the empire online into the top corner instead of the award, I also made the white box longer as you could see part of the picture still. As well as, I tweaked some of the writing as one of my paragraphs went on for too long. I also changed the rating from "4 stars" to 4 little stars as it looks better.

Film Review 3

This is my last and final edit, I made the quote in italics and in bold so that it is more predominant. Also I cut of the verdict at the end of the review so that it is separate to the rest of the review with red dots.

Final Edit - Isolation

Third Film Poster (Final)

This is my third edit of my film poster, the first I decided was completely unprofessional and would not get the audience that I wanted or even an audience at all, the second poster I made was much more developed and I became much more pleased with however it was still lacking something. Therefore, I spoke to my teacher and she said to include the 'alter ego/clone' into the film poster due to the fact that this is a massive part to my narrative and short film as a whole. So I added the same picture onto the second film poster I made and reduced the opacity of the image so that it would look more faded and ghost like, as the second persona isn't real and is only a figure of his imagination so it would make more sense to have a ghost like copy then just a smaller image of himself otherwise the audience will just get confused by the film poster and may result in lack of an audience. I decided to keep the same picture of the main character and to not use another because I think that this image gives off the message that I want it to, to my audience that the character is both confused as well as scared. I also decided to keep the typography of the film title and slogan due to it is different and unique compared to other posters due to I downloaded it from 'dafont.com' instead of just sticking to using just Photoshop fonts. However it still gives off the eerie feel to the poster that I wanted it too and well as the writing also presents that the character has no escape due to all the letters are trapped and connected to one another by the outside shadow of the text. I also kept the credits in the same font/typography as it gives off the professional look to my poster as it is the typical font used on every film poster.

Third Edit - Isolation

After a screen of verbal feedback from my class/teacher I received a lot of positive comments as well as areas to improve:

  • Cut some of the shots where he is waking up/walking down the stairs.
  • Cut the shot where he says "don't we look alike" as it takes away the seriousness of the film.
  • The typography fits in well with the style i'm trying to create.
  • The editing choice to mix the flashbacks/dream has a positive effect and made the audience understand the narrative well.
  • Composition of the shots are stylish.
  • I have a range of filming techniques that have been used effectively. 
  • The audio creates a more suspense atmosphere.
