Film Trailer First Draft

Here is the first draft of my film trailer for a film named "Tempest". In this trailer it explains the basic synopsis of the film and introduce the protagonist, seeing as it is a teaser trailer it doesn't give that much away of the plot, just a set up. As for the trailer itself, sadly I was not able to film all I wanted as we lost one of our major props and couldn't film the scene we wanted, so I had to improvise parts of it. I also see a lot of improvments that need to be made; particularly with the sound design, which I dislike and will probably need to redo from scratch.

Magazine Cover First Draft

Here is the front cover for my film magazine as part of my ancilliary text for my film trailer. For the image on the front cover I designed it so the protagonist of the film is cloaked in shadows and is slowly blending in with the black background to show how isolated he is. Admittedly the actual design didn't turn out looking perfect so I will need to work on that. As for the actual design of the magazine, I based it off of the film magazine "Empire" and used similar motifs as them and which conventions to follow. The colour scheme I just chose because I knew my cover would have a black background so I wanted something that went well with that, and red seemed to be a good choice so I went with that.Overall I do see a lot of room for improvement for this cover, particularly with the character picture and the font of the text (which just doesn't look right to me), so while I am okay with this being the first draft of my magazine cover, for the finished product I would need to make some serious changes.

Poster First Draft

Here is the first draft for my poster as part of my ancilliary text, I have chosen the colour scheme of green as this is usually related to science-fiction, however I may end up changing the colour scheme to blue/silver, as green is usually for science-fiction films focusing on Aliens (E.g. Alien, Return of the Jedi) which mine does not, usually science-fiction films that focus on Earth or humans (Particularly modern films) have a blue/silver colour scheme (e.g. Robocop, Star Trek, Elysium, The Avengers). I have chosen the convention of the protagonist being the only one on the poster and having their back turned from the camera (See previous post). The reason why I have done this is because firstly my film only gives focus on the main character of Hayden, and the reason why he has his back turned is because he is a very mysterious character who is just known as an assassin and doesn't really have an identity at the start of the film. Other conventions that it follows are quotes from critics along the side and the production names being squeezed in at the bottom. I do see a lot of room for improvement for this(Mostly with the picture itself), however for a first draft I am happy with what turned out.
