The Finished Editing Of Our Film Trailer And Creation Of Our Film Poster

Since my last blog post me and April have been continuing to edit our film trailer so that our media follows the codes and conventions of a Teen Drama film trailer, and represents a clear demonstration of a Teen Drama film trailer. After being inspired by the various editing techniques from a selection of Teen Drama film trailers that we have analysed, such as 'Cherrybomb' and 'Kidulthood', we began applying and experimenting with various editing effects. We also took note of the different soundtracks and other non diegetic sounds that were being used in the trailers, and began listening to similar music tracks that would flow with our film trailer's narrative.

In terms of creating our film poster, me and April decided to go with my first poster design of having Lewis and Nico's (Nathan and 'The Other Nathan') faces consuming the majority of the poster, with various stills taken from the film trailer placed below the character's faces. However we decided to go against this idea slightly when it came down to making the final decisions about our poster design. Instead we decided to still have Lewis and Nico's faces dominating the film poster, but chose not to include the stills taken from the film trailer. We made this decision as like my second poster design we wanted to create the 'simple yet effective' look. We also felt that with the different styles of font and the character faces, the poster would become overcrowded and wouldn't be as appealing and effective as we would want it to be for our target audience.
