MEST2 Print brief

Research

In this front cover, one of the main things that I have recognized is the positioning of the main title and the colour schemes. As you can see, the part where it says "BFI London Film Festival", it is positioned in the centre of the brochure and is shown really big and bold. Also, with the colour scheme, most brochures with stick to the one colour, e.g. red which symbolises blood etc. However, in this brochure, it has a mixture of everything and is linked to the BFI logo. In that specific logo, it shows red and blue which is almost like blood and water, which is then expressed onto the main title. Under the title is also a date which shows when it was released but next to it shows that the BFI are in partnership with American Express. This shows that the BFI must be a well established brand because of the fact that American Express are as well. The font also is the same but across the whole front page, it is in different sizes. Finally. at the bottom there is a sell line but is hidden. In my opinion, this is different to other magazines is because of the fact that this front cover doesn't really talk about anything apart from telling the title and who is the company that mad this brochure.

Brochure Front Page

The idea I will use from this image is the part where they have the company logo on the top left.

The different characters in here have different facial expressions which I what I would use if I have more than one character in the front page.

With this image, I will like to take the idea of using the main protagonist face being place in the middle.

This front page hardly uses an type of text at all, which is the theme I am looking to go for.

My aim is to find this specific font type because it is very 'arthouse like'.

Contents Page

• Overlapping image on both sides
• The main character takes a whole page
• The colours used on the left are the same as the costume which Spiderman is wearing

• The main protagonist is on the left covering the whole of that side
• The different page numbers are spread on the right from top to bottom
• Only uses black and white with some red. 
• No bright colours are used

• Dark colours are used only (combination of only three colours)
• Pages spreaded across the whole page
• The text is divided into 3
• Has only one background colour

• Bright colours are used
• White background
• The title 'Contents' is spreaded across two pages
• Many different small images
• Combination of blue and pink circles which contains the pages numbers.

• Red and White coloured title
• Another contents page where dark colours have been used, yet again
• Main protagonist is positioned on the right
• Not that many number pages have been included into this specific contents page.

Planning and Sketching
1) Target Audience Interest

• Blood and horror since it's a 15 rated movie
• More teenagers will be interested, therefore making it the actual front cover quite busy with many different text and pictures on it.
• Main character of the movie with his face in front of the movie title
• Other movies that will be in the print
• Not too much writing but make sure it takes a lot of space

2)

3)

4) Double-page spread

• Quotes from the actual movie
• Over lapping images
• "Expect the unexpected"
• "Don't judge a book by it's cover"
• The unexpecting scene (Sub-heading)
• Fearing for the worst

5)

Photoshoot

1) The main character from our production, that I specifically will be using is Jason. This is because he is the one character out of everyone who's has two different sides to himself and with a picture of what I have planned will have a lot to tell the audience before they even see the play.

2) The images that I will need for the 'contents page' is the main setting and scenes from the actual production. This will give the audience a little idea of the story.

3) The images that I will have in the 'doubled-page spread' is every main protagonist that will be shown in the production.

4) SHOT LIST

• Medium shot of the protagonist (Head to shoulder)
• Extreme Close up shot of the protagonist
• Over the head shot of the protagonist
• Underneath shot

5) For the costume, I will have the main protagonist wearing what he will be wearing in the actual production. He will have no make up. Also, in the photoshoot, my aim is to create a shadow on half of his face which will show the audience that this character will have two different sides to him. Therefore, for my to do this, I will have to bring in a bright light which be shun on one side of his face. Also, I will be bring in a black piece of fabric which will be used as a backdrop. My last and final prop that I will be bringing is a 'coca-cola' bottle which is the main prop that we will be using in the production.

6) The way I am going to prepare myself for the photoshoot on Wednesday is by doing the following:

• Make sure that the main protagonist is available and there at the photoshoot.
• Bring all the props that I will be needing in the photoshoot.
• Have the lighting with me as well
• Take around 20-30 different angled shots, which I can use in my 'print'.

Double Page Spread

It's the start of a brand new year. Already, many different movies have come out, especially this brand new movie called 'Trangsression' which has been given a 5 star rating by a lot of audiences. Transgression is a movie about one character that gets to change his whole life within one hour.

Plot of the movie

This is a thriller movie about the psychotic teenager that goes by the name of Jason, almost like the character from the Friday the 13th movies. However, one day this character was on a broken down rooftop  which four of his friends.  The five of  them then decided to play a game of spin the bottle once they had finished the coke bottle. Whoever the bottle landed on, had an hour to change their life. It landed on Jason. He decided that he wanted to go with one of his friends Grace to a discrete area. All of his other mates thought that Jason liked her or something but that wasn't the actual outcome. It turned out that he wanted to end Graces life due to the mental health problems he had. Eventually, Grace died and no one was able to find her since the area was very discrete.

Fearing for the worst

The other main character, Chloe, must've felt very weird because out of no where, one of her friends wanted to go someone. Therefore, she didn't know if this was going to be a good or bad thing or if this was a death scenario.

"Expect the unexpected"

This is a quote that has a massive impact on this whole movie. Everyone who knew Jason was a really lovely and nice human being. However, no one really established who the real 'Jason' was under that fake personality he was showing everyone.

"Don't judge a book by its cover"

This also has another massive impact due  to the same reason as  the other quote. People thought Jason is nice but no one really knew who he is until they really get under his skin and then find out who he really is. Also, the other friends who played short scenes in this production, weren't really good friends because they would always 'back chat' about everyone towards their face. Therefore, the audience would wonder if they were even real friends.

Characters

All of these character who performed in the production are from Greenford which is a town in West London. They are all upcoming actors and have bright futures ahead of themselves.

Izaaz has already performed in different types of movies for example, 'The Equation' which was presented by a group of four teenagers that go to Greenford High School which turned out to be a success.

If you guys out there thought this was good, make sure you tune in, in 2017 when we start to make the second part to this.
