Final Poster

This is my final poster that I have made on Photoshop. What i did to start off with is finding the background that I used which is what i got off the internet and the logos that I used in the two corners I got of the internet these are the PEGI Rating and the film logo. The writing style that is used in the poster was downloaded off a website called da font so I could then make the poster look much better with the same writing as the actual Assassins Creed games. How I made this Poster is by firstly taking the photos using one of the cameras in college. Before doing this I had to look at other Assassins Creed Game Poster so i could make myself look like an Assassin with my hood up and over my head and have my head down. Next what I did was I put all the photos that I have taken using the camera and chose the one that looked the best and most like an Assassin. I put my picture onto Photoshop and used the Magic wand tool to get the background away from the picture so i could then drop it into the Background and there will be no white from the Green Screen behind me anymore. Then what i did was go onto Da Font and Download the font so i could make my writing to look exactly like the Assassins Creed game. Next when I had the writing in there and me in the background I then made the image darker using the lighting tool and make it all look darker so you can see me from the top and as it goes down it starts to get darker on me. Then what i did was i put the PEGI Rating into my Poster and the film maker which is Warner Bros and I made the Poster a 15 rating because there is a lot of action in the film. 

This is the Photo final photo that I used for my poster and I used photoshop and used the rubber tool on there to take away the green screen on the back so it will be white behind me and then dragged it into my background and positioned it to where I wanted it to be. Also I had to change the characters colour of my jumper to a grey colour by using the colour tool. 

I choose this background for my Assassins creed poster because I wanted to dim my character into darkness and this was the best background to use because I could dim my character into the background. 

Photos i have taken

These are the photos that i have taken to use in my poster and i will make a decision on which one i am going to use for my poster

Proposal for my Poster

Joe Dootson      16th October 2013

This post is a proposal for the poster that i am going to make this will consist of the genre of the poster, the title for the poster, the storyline of the film, the sector as well.

Title for my poster

The title of the film poster that i am going to make is called Assassins Creed The Last Decedent. This is going to be  a movie poster advertising the new Assassins Creed film

Format and Medium

This will be a movie poster and it will be used to put on a billboards around Manchester also it will be used by cinemas outside and inside the cinema. The poster will also be advertised on the sides of buses to promote the film so it will attract people to maybe go and see the film and then the film will earn money and can be successful. This will be good so then it will get funds to maybe be produce another film after this one.

Sector

Film and marketing is to attract people to see the film and get people excited before the film is due to come out. They do this by making teaser posters to attract people to see the film and also make a teaser poster of the main character on the poster and like a little slogan on there as well. They will also do this with a little teaser trailer or advert on television to get people hooked on the idea of this film. Then a week before the poster is due out they will create a the final poster and advertisement for a week before the film is due to come out and show some parts in the film.

Working Title

The working title of my film is Assassins Creed The Last Decedent and this will also be my final title.

Genre

My film posters is a mixture of genres and doesn't have a set Genre it has a bit of everything it has action, it is a thriller as well and is historical because Assassins Creed is based on real historical events so it will be a bit of everything.

Intended Audience

The intended audience for my film poster would be ages 16-40 because there is a lot of action and drama in there and for the older people who would watch this that it is based on historical events which they may find interesting.

Summary of Content

The story line of my poster is that Ezio the main character is the last of al the Assassins and he has to find out what happened to them and fight on his own.

Summary of Style

The poster will look like the main characters stood there with his hood up and head down with the title next to him and will have a little slogan at the top of the poster and also at the bottom of the poster. The main character will not be showing his face.

Legal and ethical considerations

The main things that i will need to take into account are the age restrictions and copyright this is because i cant make the film a 12 it will have to be 18 because if all the fighting and all the swearing that would be used. Also copyright it is illegal to copy something that has already been made and i will have to make mine different so it will not be copying something that has been made or in the process of being made.

Pre Production Techniques

Pre Production Techniques for the creative media have there similarities and differences, there is Film, TV, non broadcast videos, radio, audio, media, web, computer games and photo imaging.

Film

Film has similarties and differences they have lots of similarities such as finance because you need to have a set budget on the film and they cant spend over that certain amount of money. Another similarity would be the editor of the film because you would need a editor because you will need someone to edit the film and you also need a editor for photography to add effects to the photo and you will need this for making a film. There are some differences because for a film you need a age certificate to show who the film is suitable for a certain audience to watch the film. Another difference is the genre of the film because you can make the film a comedy, action or ScFi film where as for photo you don't need a genre for the photo these are some of the similarities and differences for film.

Video

Video has similarities and differences they have lots of similarities such as finance because if you are making a film trailer or a music video you need a set budget of money to spend on this video or trailer. Another similarity would be actors because you need actors in the video and you need to get the right actor to play in your video or film. There aren't any differences because film and video are the same so there will not be any differences.

TV

TV also has similarities and differences such as copyright because they will not want a company copying the film that they have made so they will sign documents saying that you cant copy the film and it is also illegal. Another similarity would be target audience because you need to make a film for a certain audience such as 15-40 and they need this so they don't make a film that will not get watched and they do this in video and film. A difference would be TV licence because TV has a licence to show certain movies and shows and TVs and if the film is not suitable to be seen on TV they will not show the film that you have made. Another difference would be channel because you cant always show your film on a channel it has to be suitable to go on that channel if the film has swearing on it cant be shown till after 10 where as Sky movies and film 4 show films with swearing throughout the day.

Photo Imaging

Photo imaging has its similarities and differences such as recruitment you need to get the right crew in to take a picture say if you are doing modelling you want your best directors and photographers taking the photo and everything has to perfect like in film and video. Another similarity would be Deadlines because in the media you always have a set deadline wether it be making a film making a music video or a trailer you always have to meet your deadline and it is the same in photo imaging. A difference in Photo imaging would be equipment because you need different equipment you will need a better equipment better lighting equipment it all needs to be the best you can get. Another difference would be photographs you need to get them on posters especially if you are doing modelling for Armani you would need it on a big poster outside the store advertising there brand new product.

Radio

In Radio there are similarities and differences such as recruitment for example if you are recruiting for radio one with it being aimed at people aged 15-29 you need someone within that age and it is the same for other radio stations they will employ people in that age range. Another similarity would be Restrictions because like in films you have restrictions in what you say and you cant swear and this is the same in some films you cant swear. A difference would be in the car because you listen to the radio in the car and that is where people listen to the radio and you can watch films and videos in the car. Another difference would be pay to play song because they pay to play the songs that they want on where as films doesn't do this.

Computer Games

When making a video games there are some Similarities and Differences such as Age Certificate you need a age certificate for the game so it can be suitable for a certain age to play this game and it would be illegal if it didn't have it. Another Similarity would be Recruitment because you need to Recruit the right team to create the game and do all the editing for the game and put the music onto the game and create the cover for the game. A difference would be that you will not need a director or a producer into making the game where as you will when making a film and you will need this in a film to direct the film and also produce the film. When making a computer game you also need to think about the budget in how much you are going to spend on it for example if you are going to make a game and you have 1 million as your set budget too spend on it you cant go over that amount. Something else would be that time if you have a set release date that means that the game should be coming out by that time but they sometimes games get put backwards because they haven't finished making the game yet this can sometimes happen.

Interactive 

Interactive has its similarities and differences such as computer games because you are interacting with them you are using the controller and with the the new generation of games you can tell the Xbox, PS3 and the Wii to do what you want for example if you say play game it will play it for you. Another Similarity would be that you need a Designer a Producer people like this and say if you are making a Spanish you will need a Language Specialist to make the DVD. A difference would be Age Restrictions because you wont need a age restriction for making a language DVD for people to learn Spanish it can be for all ages. Somethings to take into account for interactive would be that for example if you are making a Spanish Learning Language DVD you would need materials to make it. Also you will need personnel to make it like a Spanish language Specialist, Editors and Designers in there to make it all by putting all the sound in there and putting everything onto a Disk by burning it on there.

Web

Web has its similarities and differences such as Age Restrictions because there isn't an age restriction to log on to the internet you can get on to the internet at any age. Another similarity would be that video because you can go onto youtube watch music videos, trailers for the latest films. A difference would be that in the in the car you cant watch videos because you wont have a very good internet connection and all it will do is buffer lots so you will not get to watch the video. Somethings to take into account would be that you have finances with the web incase you want to make a web page you will have a set budget on what you want to spend on making the web page. Another thing to take into account with web would be contributors who are you going to hire to make the web page and also are you going to contribute in making the webpage yourself.

Vector Graphics Example

This is my vector graphics work that I have done on Adobe Illustrator. What I did first was I took a photo of myself and saved it into my documents and once I did that I placed the photo into Adobe Illustrator.
Next what I did was I used the I used the pen tool to go around my hair so it would colour in my hair in the colour red and i changed the colour to brown because you have to make it look similar to you.
Then I put some more colour into my hair but used a darker shade of colour in my hair.
Next I went round my face using the pen tool whilst holding down the control key so it would go around my face so i would miss anything out and adding the lines in my forhead making it look like me and doing the same as that under my eyes.
After this i went around my lips and move with the pen tool but i had to zoom into the eyes so i could move the pen tool around them but i had to take some of my layers off to go around them so i could see what i was doing then added the layers back on when i was finished i also did the same when i was going around my eyebrows so i could make it look as detailed as i possibly could.
I then did my nose i used the pen tool to go around certain bits in my nose i just did to curvy lines and then left two spaces for my nostrils using the pen tool.
Last i used my pen tool to go around my shirt at the bottom and added my colour in there to match the shirt i was wearing by changing the shirt colour to a dark blue i did this using the colour tool at the bottom which allows you to change you colour when you want by clicking the part of your photo you want to change.

Wonka Babies

This is my font that i had to make as a practice for when i am to make the real poster. I made this writing in adobe illustrator I had had choice to make this font Adobe Photoshop but i thought it would be easier to made it in Illustrator .What i did was i used the text box so i could write the text into illustrator. Then what I did was I used the pen tool to create all the curves in the writing.


This is the tool that I used to make all the different curves on the title this was the main tool that you use to make it and change from being just Wonka Babies. The inspiration to do this was from Willy Wonka so then we had to make it like Willy Wonka and I did this by using this tool

Poster Research

This is my poster research that I have done. I have chosen 3 different genres of films in one being a comedy film called Superbad. Another poster i chose to review was the ScFi Action film Transformers. The final poster that I reviewed is a Horror film called You're Next.
