Post Production

Now that we have finished our trailer (at last!) and our poster & magazine covers, I have started to edit together our electronic evaluation. We have over an hour of dialoge from the three of us including a Skype call that Myself and Rudi did in which we spoke about some of the work we created together including taking photos, capturing footage, editing and creating a soundtrack- I recorded this Skype conversation for the evaluation.
I am currently cutting most of the dialogue down to the most important pieces of information as we would like our evaluation to be under 25mins long. I am also looking through all the images and footage we took over the past year to play alongside the evaluation, as well as finding & adding images from the internet to help make the electronic evaluation enjoyable to watch.

As editing the evaluation is a long process Rudi has agreed to help me finish it during the week.
Once the evaluation is complete it will be uploaded to YouTube and to our blog.

Potential Poster Photos and Influential Poster Images

As a group we came up with ideas to what we can incorporate within our poster, we looked additionally looked at other promoting movie posters to get inspiration for what we can achieve to include in our own posters.

We had some advantages to establish a poster, as we had a school photography studio to take the images for the poster. The initial idea that we had to include to our photos was that we included the necessary  props and costumes to it, allowing our audience to see what they wear in the film.

Here are some examples of our influential posters give an idea of what we implied into our own editing.

In this 'Taken 2' poster we used the idea of half and half shadow, this where one side f the poster is dark and the side of lighter sort of shade, revealing apart of the character's face. What we thought  this would create is an idea of a dark and sinister character.

As can see here we have the exact same concept than we do compared to the "Taken 2" poster. We wanted to incorporate this within out poster as it would show the sinister side to the film.

This image just so happened to be an accidental photo, which happened to resemble the "Taken 2" poster so we were very fortunate to stumble across it.

The Final edited version of the poster shall be posted within the week, we are currently in the process of finishing it.

Dirty Diamond's final production

Here is the newly enhanced "Dirty Diamond's Trailer", where we took the feedback from our audience, such as the class for example.

With this trailer, we have changed quite a bit by adding in certain amounts of production companies trying to increase the duration of the trailer. You will see the difference from the "draft" to the "new" trailer.

We wish to get as much feedback off this than we did with the last one, so that we can take it into consideration. Hope you like it, and last of all Enjoy!
