Final Poster 2

This is the second poster I created which includes the main character, and more information about the film, it also has the key element the mask in the background, while all text is in the same colours as the mask which follows the style of the whole production.

Final Poster 1

This is my first poster that I have created which is landscape, I edited and added text on Google photo editor and made the colours darker while having text in similar colours to the mask. The reason I chose to have the mask as the main photo for this poster is because it is a main inspiration for the film and leaves the audience guessing while the dark black eyes almost stare at you.

Characters Clothing

Our Main Characters Name

Although the main characters name is not used in our trailer, we have decided to name our main character Joseph as it links well to religion as in the bible it was one of Jesus' disiples. In our trailer we want to look at religious aspects because The Vatican is a main inspiration. We will look more into detail at his name when we create a character profile.

Casting

When we were looking at actors to be in our production we decided that the best option would be to use our group member 'Jack Barnes' as he would be able to really understand the character so therefore be able to get into role easily. This also meant that filming would be easier, as we would both be at location when filming is needed to be done, so there will be no time wasted if we used other people to be characters and also we divide each scene between to film.

Film Title

For the title of our media project, we have decided to name our film 'The Venetian Mask'. The idea behind this name is because as our film is heavily influenced by places and themes associated with Italy, we decided that we would use something that epitomises Italian culture. The masks act like a layer of suspicion that can cover someone's face, and this plays into our storyline well by creating mystique within the audience. The masks also help to bring colour to our film, as they are typically very colourful, and help to bring vibrance to our piece.

Shooting Script

In our group we came up with the idea that a shooting script would be beneficial when creating our trailer. This would help us when creating the main shots we wanted to include because we would know exactly what we wanted.

Magazine Research

I wanted to look at Magazine covers so that I had an idea of what to create when creating my cover.
