Third Cut

As we can see I have added some more shots such as close ups as these make a connection between the audience and protagonist. I have also re done the car scene as the weather was different- in the previous shots it was sunny which didn't fit with the rest of my footage. I will also add another close up at the end of  my short film of the protagonist.

Second Cut

Overall I am very pleased with my second cut. I feel I am nearly finished and that this could potentially be the final film. I have cut down dramatically on time as I was over by 2 minutes and I have changed the titles as I thought the transition of the title of the film didn't fit with the rest of the footage. I have also replaced some shots with other footage that has better quality which fits continuity. The font of the titles also match the poster which creates synergy between the two.

Evolution of posters

As we can see my posters have changed dramatically since the original photo. My reason for this was to experiment with the different use of colours, tones and texts, along with positioning. After creating more than one poster I can successfully say my favourite and final poster is:

My reason for this is because it follows the conventions of a film poster. I have clearly addressed the title of film 'The Silent Call' and put additional information in a smaller font at the bottom of the poster. I have also included a release date which is also typically found on film posters along with the production company. Other than this I personally like the use of colours such as the blue/grey tones as this connotes a mysterious and dark vibe. The use of shadowing and faded image on the left also add to this effect. Moreover, the protagonist is also looking at the camera, making a connection with the audience, another key feature found in film posters. In addition to this I have used the same fonts in my short film to create synergy between the two texts.
