Cameras : Prop selection

I have found a selection of different cameras that I can use as a prop. I think the third one down will be the most appropriate prop to use for the time period as well as the genre of film.

Photoshoot for print product schedule

This photoshoot will be to test my actual style of photos whereas for my actual photos I will not be using planned photos as I want to get a photo which will link closely to the montage's that are going to be edited into the trailer, my idea for the photo will be Luna and Tessa sitting in the park and laughing, having a good time, or a photo of them filming for the documentary, this is so that the picture looks more professional and not staged, which is some of the conventions you would find in an Indie/coming of age film.

Title design ideas?:

From looking at some of the feedback I got from my audience, I have decided to go with the variation in typography, however I now need to look at the colours and style of the title. From this and the research I have done into contrasting colours I have decided that I am going to use contrasting colours within the title. The two main colours that stuck out to me the most were yellow and purple as these do relate to the characters and their attitudes. From this I made a colour design of the title. However I also thought it would be a good idea to try with another colour to see what the audience preferred.

Print poster ideas

From using 'BeFunky' I created a collage of different print posters of 'coming of age films' in which will help me to see the similar conventions, so that I can use these ideas to decide what I want my print poster to look like.

The common features of the posters are:

• The use of the characters being the main visual on the front. Includes the main characters, not all of the cast
• To have a plain background that is of one colour, either white or a slightly brighter colour.
• To include the names of the actors, to show that the coming of age genre can incorporate actors who are widely known. 
• To have a catchy slogan that links to the film, that is placed away from all the other texts. For example the top of Ferris Bueller's day off has 'LEISURE RULES' at the top of the poster
• Most of the actors have a direct mode of address. 
• The title has to stand out in comparison to the rest of the text.

I will consider these conventions when planning my print poster as these are common conventions that potentially help to class these films as coming of age.

I have used these ideas and came up with styles in which my posters could be set out:
