Editing the trailer and working on the poster (Mori)

Recently in class we have working towards handing in the first draft of the trailer, this meant that we have been working in lessons and attending clinics to make sure that we got enough to ensure that it would makes sense. While Aaron did some of the editing, i worked on the captions on a seperate computer. I created these on photoshop as they look more professional and they can be changed easily without changing the film in the editing programme. There is also a wider range of fonts on photoshop, therefore we can choose one which goes well with our genre. Also on Photoshop i created the main title for the trailer and our production company logo (A&M Productions). We wanted the main title to be simple as we could not create our won style of font so we decided to have a glow outer glow on it and keep the letters capitals creating a greater imapct. I am very pleased witht the production logo and i think that the time i put into it has been worthwhile as it looks very professional. To make it i created the shape by making a frame and then had to add in the writing, to make the lines come across the words i then had to add an effect onto it giving it the rich purple colour and the scopres through it. I then removed the bottom sectiojn of the frame and added in the words 'production' in an italic font, different to the 'A&M' making it stand out as i production company.
After this we decided to start on the voiceover, we had to move some of the clips around at the beginning in order for the voiceover to fit correctly and not run over the scenes we wanted it to be on otherwise it would clash with sound bridges and therefore sound from another scene. We used a voiceover using a voice recorder and Aaron spoke into it what we had written when we were planning the film.
We have now started work on the poster which is much harder than anticipated, we decided between us after looking at a poster of the recently made film 'Star Trek' that we would have the two main characters at the top of the poster, Lucy and Jack facing each other which we have successfully managed to do. These pictures were taken on the previous Sunday when we set up a black screen and strong lighting to make the pictures look professional, to add to this affect we also borrowed our teachers good camera and therefore managed to take high quality pictures worthy of a poster and a magazine cover. The plan for the rest of the poster is to have their pictures merge down into a wide shot of lucy standing on the cliff edge like the scene in the trailer, with the sea in the background. We than want to have the title of the film 'Divine Intervention'. To develop the name for the film was again something which we had not aticipated to be so difficult, our original idea was to call it 'Fate' but we quickly decided that although it was easy to remember it was also too obvious and doesn't creat much impact on people when they see it. We then started to think of similar words and phrases and eventually came up with 'Divine Intervention', i think that it is a really interesting name as it is challenging the audience to put some thought into what it mauy be about and the meaning of it, i think that it will stick in audiences minds and it sounds classy and realistic.
This is what the poster looks like so far:
