Changes to Narrative and Title

Due to recent feedback on our trailer and print products after much thought we have decided to change our narrative slightly, as most of our negative feedback was that the narrative was not clear, and with the narrative we have, we believe it is going to be too difficult to make clear. After talking together and discussing ways to improve our trailer we have decided to first of all change our name to 'Plan B' instead of 'Plan C' and therefore give our character two personalities instead of one so she has more of a split personality than MPD.

I have already decided this as our new logo and i believe this will be effective towards the narrative. We are not scrapping the trailer that we have currently but we are giving it a new beginning to ease the audience into our product and we are having a voice over on top which is going to be in the form of a diary entry explaining the narrative more clearly.

·      Running time

·      Plot synopsis, what actually happens in the film

·      Tagline of the film

·      Front cover image (normally of the main characters)

·      Release date

I have reposted my Flickr link due to not wanting to go to the bottom of the blog for easy access to my images.

Editing Images For Posters

This is the image that I began with where I had already put an effect on the background to make it look cracked and I also put the focus of the image on the face and blurred on the bottom of the dress by using an online program called Pixlr. This is where I then began to change the brightness and contrast of the image to make sure that the whole image looked dark on the page to make sure that the audience knew this character in the trailer was evil and dangerous for anyone else in the trailer. 

I then changed the amount of vibrancy on the image to make it just look facially brighter and to fade out the background a little bit more faded to make the face and foreground stand out more than the background. 

With the image I put a slight affect on it to make sure that it again looked dark.
