Soundtrack

The soundtrack is Dom's domain, but for a preliminary edit, i put some music from my iTunes onto the film which worked really well, but unfortunately, Youtube won't allow copyrighted songs onto their system, so i can't upload the film onto youtube, and therefore not onto the blog, but as soon as our soundtrack is finished it will be uploaded.

Ancillary Research: Poster

Even though this film is of theatrical length, and not a short film, it is still useful, as it is a similar genre. The main problem/difference to what we can create is that Daniel Craig is a well known actor in this genre, and therefore brings his own expectations for an audience in that they know what to expect from an actor of his legacy. The other actors are similar (at the top) for example Michael Gambon..
The poster is so simple, one picture which is pixelated to add an abstarct effect.
The font used is also simple, block capitals which implies they dont need to use a special effect on the title as they have enough with the picture and the information on the rest of the poster.

Amcillary task: Poster research

This is a poster for an independent film director based in London. He makes short films and the posters to sell the films.
This poster is very good in setting the mise-en-scene of the film. It is very clearly a  suburban setting, in a downtrodden part of town, hence the waste around and the graffitti on the wall. The graffitti doesn't seem to have any relevance to the title but it defionately adds to the effect of the rest of the poster.
The title "The climb" appears to be 'climbing' which is very clever, with the use of the shadow behind the solid capitals.
The poster is quite clearly homemade but it works very well, and wouldnt seem out of place in a bus stop, or on the side of a phone box etc.
This would be a useful one to try and recreate for the genre of film we wish to create through the poster.
