Logos for Film Funding companies and competitions

Any logos you wish to include in your poster design can be copied from the k drive (under visual arts and media, media studies, a2 media, logos).

DEADLINE TODAY

As you all should know, today is the deadline for editing the short film. If you still have some sound work to do, you should bear in mind that you will not have priority in the edit suite as the AS students and Video Production students also have deadlines very soon.

Please read the notices in the classroom and continue to look at posts here for upcoming deadlines. Next week is very busy indeed!

Example of Independent Company marketing of short film

Look at the link to Cowboy Film on the right as an example of an award winning short film which was more conventionally sold to its audience.

DEADLINE APPROACHING!

Don't forget that the following need to be done by the end of this week - 12th March:

1 Final edit of short film, including sound and titling
2 First photoshop and indesign draft of poster design chosen from the sketched drafts for each of you that should have been uploaded last week. It is important that each of you demonstrates having contributed to the design of the poster through the initial sketched design (last week's deadline).

Look ahead in the booklet for the next deadline. Keep planning ahead!

Poster Research

You should have already analysed existing relevant poster designs as part of a previous deadline. Now that you have had lessons on this, you may think it's a good idea to edit those posts to add more detail and relevance to your own design ideas. If you didn't make that part of the previous deadline, you need to do that research asap. Each person in the group should have contributed to the research on poster designs and posts need to be headed with names to appear on the archive. See examples on this blog for ideas.

Deadlines Approaching!

Following introductory lessons on the poster work, you should now be aware of the approaching deadlines which appear below. Ask if you need help or have any questions.

5th March

Every student in group to post to blog initial draft design for the poster. Draw, scan image, and upload with comments and justifications (bullet points, about 10 lines). Group to select best design to proceed with.
