Final Film Poster


For the final poster in comparison to all our ideas, we used the poem as a background and blurred out the words so the title will be more in focus and enlarged. Some of the words are bolded compared to others such as "stressful" and "known" which can reflect what kind of film it will be.

There are a few things that need to be included still. We do still need to include the tagline and also the production name. We need to plan to go back onto Photoshop and put that at the bottom of the cast's name.

Filming

During our lesson, we filmed in the school locations. We started off to film outside with a long shot of our character walking to school. We had to quickly film this scene as people kept passing by the camera or getting in the way.


For this scene, Asher was an extra in our film and we focused on getting an over the shoulder shot between Asher and Marcus playing as the main character, Michael as well as a point-of-view shot to show a more perspective side of the characters.


We filmed in the lunch hall to focus on shooting from Marcus' back with the report card on the front of the table to show how lonely he is during college.





Another location we filmed in was the locker room and did a close up shot of the camera in the locker to show what was in Michael's locker. Along with a medium shot from behind him so we have more shots to look at when we edit our scenes together.

We plan to film a scene with a teacher giving Michael the report card so it will connect to the scenes from the locker room to the lunch hall.
