Pster: I have speken to svetlana Petrovska who is doing art and photography to help us with the poster. The poster should be able to tell the story of our film. This involves our characteristics aa well as wardrobe.

An image would need to show that both caracters are interested in art but as well that Ozzy has other problems to deal with in his life.

Titling as well should show all the information thats relevent and should be known to inform the audiance and make it more specific.

Kidulthood poster analysis

(We chose to analyse this particular poster because it relates to our theme and is similar type of movie we are trying to create.)

This the Kindulthood poster. I think that this poster is very affective, firstly because the title stands out from the dark background. the lettering is large, bold and white, which looks very dramatic. It say's "Before kidulthood comes adulthood" which suggests that the film is about teenagers.

the main image is a wide shot of all the characters. They look menacing and serious.Their facial expression as well as body language projects the stereotypical view of teenagers in London.

The background is of a dull and gloomy sky. In the dark sky there is an opening in the clouds where light is shining through. The light is shining above the characters heads and in hindsight of watching this film. i believe this suggest the death of the characters hence the bright light in the sky.
From the poster we can already recognise different character relationships. the girl and boy on the left look look like they are in a relationship as do the central boy and girl.

We see a big teenager holding a bat on the for right. This characters lightning is extremely low. This shows that this character could possibly be the bad guy in the film. I noticed how only two of the characters are standing up. this implies that these are the two main characters.

Furthermore, the review quote is very interesting. "kicks the door of it's hinges" tells the audience that there is an element of action. It is a very clever quote to use because unlike big machine guns and bombs, kicking is a more suitable form of abuse from teenagers.

In conclusion this poster is extremely informative once you start to look deeper into it. You can almost tell the full story.

Did some research

1. Watch documentary films. In order to understand the techniques. They can be watched online at sites like FourDocs and the documentary film network. Learn the genres as well as filmmaking styles.

* Documentary films are shot by handheld camera which gives the watcher feeling of it being true.

2. Need to become familiar with the equipment.

* Mr Holloway have thought us some techniques as well as how to use lights.

3. Need to find subject that I find fascinating and am familiar with. Resources are needed for the film. Need to look at budget we have. Need to be realistic about it.

* Ash chose the subject which is about social realism, so the group is quite familiar with the subject.

4. Research, research and research some information to become an expert. Could read books, speak to people with similar experiances to make it more realistic.

* I have watched similar movies, am familiar with the subject. Could research more on it.

5. Structure of the film . Need to visualise it, and in our case draw it briefly.The script.

* We will do that once we all meet.

6. Wishlist of any people, location planning, equipment planning.

The actors phone nr to get a hold of them. Forms need to be signed by the location owner/s. Equipment need to be booked.

*Here are some photos of location we will shoot the film in.

7. Shoot the film.

8. Do the editing. Subtitle choice and styling. Computer at media room are available, so it shouldn’t be that impossible. I have also downloaded editing program incase!

The audianceà I personally think that it should be 15+ film, as there are drugs involved in the movie. We wouldņ want little kids to get influenced by this.

* need to have a questionnaire or a video of interviewing people.
