Evaluation

Here is my full evaluation of my short film and ancillary tasks.

The Last Brian On Earth - Final Edit

Here is the final edit of my short film, The Last Brian On Earth.

Ancillary product 1 - Film Poster

Here is the film poster I produced to go alongside my short film. It shows both characters, that are the same person to represent his mental illness. 

I chose to give away the most important pieces of information which therefore means it's classed as a theatrical poster. Although it shows the film title, the characters name and it's release date it doesn't show where it will be distributed. I chose to reveal it like this, as it could then be distributed on many platforms including the internet, and several cinema conventions.

Seeing as I changed the name, I will need to produce a new poster. However, I will probably change the format, and go with either a teaser poster, or a character poster so that I can represent the two different styles for my film.

These are my 2 Character poster's. I decided that along with the theatrical poster, I would create two character poster's, so that I could use them for advertisement. They would lead up to the theatrical poster to give the audience something to look forward to, a sneak peek at the film's main character(s).
As the film is about 1 person, seeing himself, I chose to highlight this very clearly in the different poster's. The  top photo, as it's of Brian (The imaginary Brian) I wanted him to stand out from the background, to look added in, unnatural. Therefore I decided to put the back ground as black and white, and change his natural colour to red. Red is often a signifier of danger, and although the character poses no threat, he isn't real and there it's showing Brian (The real Brian) is alone. I believe the different colours work well to make him stand out, and it work's well as a simple character poster.
For the second character poster, I decided to keep the colour's natural, as it was of the real Brian. I slightly changed the brightness and contrast to make the photo seem a bit more "fantasy" ish, however not too much so it stepped away from reality. This again is just a simple character poster, but I like it as it gives the desired effect. It clearly shows the character, and his name, and therefore suits it's purpose. 

Ancillary product 2 - My Film Review

Here is the first draft of my film review. Made in a slightly unconventional way, in which is breaks down everything that happens in the film in a critical way instead of highlighting certain aspects in which the director has done well.
I decided to create the review like this because I read a fight club review in which it was very critical of Fight Club, and because Fight Club is one of my inspirations towards my short film, I thought it would be a good idea to create something similar.

 The layout was taken from Odeon's review of The Waiting Room. I decided to do something similar to that because it was a film review that was very minimamlistic in style, and quite a basic design but I thought it looked good overall and did it's job.
