Scenes 5-8




Scenes 8-11




Scenes 12-15




Scenes 15-18




We chose this layout as our stroyboard because it includes everything from the shot type, up to special effects. It made it alot easier for us to plan each scene and shot, also helping us when we go to film and edit.

Planning : Film Poster - Final Product

This is our final version of our poster, we have been able to use our own individual font and hopefully by keeping it simple we havnt given away too much narrative and can attract the audience by the mystery surround the watch and narrative.

Planning : Magazine Final Product

This is our final magazine draft and we belive we have been able to stick to our layout that we chose, by keeping the Character as our main USP to hook the audience in. With the character wearing the watch which is also a usp it shows the audience the synergy in our brand.

Planning : Magazine Layout and first draft



We chose this for our magazine cover because it is likely to hook our audience in with the USP, which we aimed to do from the start. But with the additions of other text from kickers and other additional secondary images it is likely to give more substance to the magazine for the targeted audience.

Here is a look at our first magazine draft, obviously we our missing our main usp but that is to be of our main character, but we belive we will be able to create a better, polished version for our final piece.

Planning : Poster Layout and first draft



Layout 1 :
We chose to use the masterhead at the top to capture the audiences attention straight away, then directly underneath that we have the 3 main characters in 3 seperate collums. Underneath that we have different images such as certificates and the production casting. We belive this is a good layout because it manages to explain the narritve clearly but still leave a hook and the USP which is the characters, should intice the viewers in.

Layout 2 :
This layout is more of your big blockbuster poster that you see in American films, with the main image blown up and taking up most of the frame as a USP. Below the dominant image is the tagline in the centre, with the movie title and then production casting underneath that. We eventually came to the agreement that this would be the layout we would want to try and recreate

Layout 3 :
This again is similar to layout 1 with have the 3 main characters as the USP's but they are slanted diagonally on this layout, while still giving insight into the narative. This conforms to the common comedy conventions we have researched of posters, showing us 3 characters that the audience are going to be hooked on.

Here is a look at our first draft, we like this draft as even though it is not finished we belive we have a good basis to progress on. We like how simplistic it is and how we can create enigma codes from this to keep the audience guessing by not giving too much away already in the poster. We still have to place our main character to dominate the page as our usp and also we will rethink the colours used and try to find better alternatives as they are a bit bland and dont really capture the audiences attention, however the font of clocks to go with our narrative we think has worked well but from our feeback we will have to work on its readability.

Planning : Characters

We plan to limit the amount of characters we use in the opening scenes in our teaser trailer, this is because we want the audience to be focused on the narrative and our protaganist character, so they immediatly can be associtated with him and therefore could create a bond with him throughout the film if they wanted to.

Anders:
The first character we have is Anders, a lad who always seems to have bad luck and nothing ever seems to go right for him. When it comes to girls also Anders tends to have serious problems and just cant make it happen, untill he meets Alicia. Throughout his life Anders has never been very organised or punctual and being on time has never been his strong point. As the film develops Anders devlops a special gift for time.





Holly :

Our second character is Holly, a girl Anders always thought was out of his reach, she is someone who is always willing to give another person a second chance, complelty the opposite to Anders, two polar opposites. Pretty, very punctual, presentable and interlectual.
