Movie Poster (Week Eight)

Today I had the very important job of creating out movie poster! This was my first time ever really creating something such as this so I was very excited to see the end result. 

Because I have never created a movie poster before, I did a bit of research online finding examples and little cheat sheets that reminded me of what to include. 


I used Harry Potter (a classic that I adore~) as my baseline. Zooming in and out trying I tried to figure out what some of the smaller text said to keep my finished product a bit more accurate, but because I was having a bit of trouble I found a draft (included below) to help explain the different pieces that go into movie posters and their significance.


                            


And this is the finished product, TADA! -



I was able to find the rating insignia online, making it easy to copy and paste it without having to create my own. I also used three different fonts to add allure, in hopes of capturing more attention with its variety. I used this photo from a different assignment I completed during this course, "Think like a cinematographer".  Sarah is surrounded by darkness and her face turned away from the only source of light, seemingly rejecting it, her expression signifying her true feelings. This was all done in hopes of properly portraying the obstacles her character will face throughout the film, and the harsh reality of what happens after she refused her mothers guiding light one too many times.

Midterm Connection (Week 5)

~ Midterm Connection ~ Good morning! I just realized that I never showed you all me and Rachael's Midterm... You may all be thinking, "So what Eva, we don't care about your midterm-" WRONG! you totally should because it was the inspiration for this film (more like the original of Her Slow Disappearance )  We loved the concept and so did our class, however they all had a ton of feedback, mainly that we were focusing on the wrong things in the short time frame we had. Their main concerns were that while they loved our bold and initial showing of drug abuse, we stranded slightly from the plot and didn't cover all the things they would have preferred to see, i.e: allotted to much time to the kitchen scene.  Well that's all! I'll insert the video below, enjoy :)

Significance of the Shot Duration (Week Five)

~ Significance of the Shot Duration ~ Hi there! I thought that it might be a good idea to go over the significance of the shot duration in Her Slow Disappearance , You'll notice that in the film, the speed at which cuts are made and the general pacing of the film as a whole reflect the mood and emotions of Sarah throughout it. The faster cuts, can mean two things, either it is to represent the speeding up of time as a side effect of Sarah's drug use, or to represent high emotions between the character on the screen and the situation they would be presently facing. For example, in the rapid POV shots between Sarah and her mother in the beginning of the film, emotions are high, Sarah is scared and frustrated about the missing presence of her drugs - she is desperately searching for her next high -  and her mother is anxious and nervous, worried for her daughters future and questioning her decisions and beliefs as she discovers her daughters drug baggy.  In comparison the slow, d...

Project Plan/Storyline (Week One)

Image
Project Plan/Storyline  The name of the "movie" is going to be Her Slow Disappearance. The story will revolve around a teenage girl named Sarah. Sarah is experiencing severe depression and to quell all of her intense emotions she submerges herself in drugs and alcohol, however the drugs will be more prevalently shown in the 2 minute movie beginning.  Story Board: First 3 panels depict the opening scene where Sarah is discovered dead in the shower after overdosing while panels 4-6, follow the beginning of a flash back of how the audience got to that moment with her lying on the shower floor. Panels 7-10 show Sarah discovering her usual drug ration is empty, in these scenes it will be vital for Rachael Kohler, the actor who plays Sarah, to show the extreme distress that Sarah feels in this moment of uncertainty. Following along to panels 11-18, you will see boxes either highlighted in pink or orange . The two colors represent different ending/storylines me and my partner were ...
