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:

Script with group.

Tessa:

(Curiously) "Are you going to the meeting for the BFI competition later?"

Tessa's friend Louise: 

(disgusted) "Why would I? Does it look like something a popular girl like me would do?"

Mr love:

(Sarcastically) "Wow small crowd. Well yeah a competition you know about, 6 weeks to complete, blah blah blah... Okay, cya!"

(quickly) "Oh by the way, you can't submit the work unless your in a group minimum of 2 people."

Tessa: 

(quietly) "I guess it's just us then..."

Tessa:

"So what made you join the competition?"

Luna:

"it's to get my parents off my back..."

Tessa:

(monotone) " Have you ever been so oblivious to some people who make you happy?"

Tessa:

(monotone) "And they disappoint you?"

Tessa:

(confused) "Who are you?"

Jamie:

(confused/sassy) "Who the hell are you?"

Tessa:

(argumentatively/loud angry tone) "I thought you were becoming a better person!"

Luna:

(sassy tone) "Well at least my old friends don't try and change me like i'm incapable of being myself!"

Tessa:

(monotone) "Then I guess sometimes they can surprise you, and that's what friends are for."

Style Ideas:

From looking more closely to my characters, I have decided to create a few collages to define the different characters and the costumes that they would wear. I want Luna to have a light Gothic edge to her style, Jamie to have a grunge style and Tessa to have a popular girl/sporty girl style. These are the types of clothing which will show the individuality of the different characters and also be clothing in which each of the actors would have in their wardrobe. I feel that each of these styles represent their character well.

Luna

Jamie

Tessa

I have used the website storyboard.that online to show the different characters in which I can potentially use for my storyboards. These characters are the ideas in which i associate with the characters. 

Location and Actor contracts

As a production company, I have decided to work out some contracts to ensure that we can use the location and actors that we want to for our trailer and filming. This means I can now make sure that they understand we are responsible for their safety, we cannot pay anyone for their involvement.


Here is the template I used for these contracts and forms:
