Adulthood

People
there aren't many big names on this poster except for the director who is well known for his east end gang films.

Design
the design is quite plain its just the main characters all in there gang looking hard.

Colour
there isnt really much colour to the poster, and the colour that is on the poster is dark to give the impression that it as a dark and mysterious film. the characters costumes are quite bright this makes them stand out from the dark colours in the back ground.

Title
the title is the largest font on the poster which means it is easy to read and stands out from the rest of the font on the poster, it also cacthes your eye as you walk past the the poster.

Other Information
there is not really much more information on the poster it is just a plain poster with a title and characters showing themselves to the public.

District B-13


People
There are two main characters in the poster who are also the main characters of the film. David Belle who is a well known Parkour athelete through the French country and to the work of free running and parkour. The other main character is Cyril Raffeilli who is a well known actor in France.

Design
the design is very hectic, there is alot of things going on in the poster with small details of scenes that are within the movie. the poster conveys a mood of action, like if you see this film alot will happen that will blow your mind.

Colour
the poster is covered with dark colours to give it a mystery look an example of if you look at this poster and you like what you see and want to find out what its about you have to go and watch the film and look and see how good it is. again the colours have been chosen to give it a mysterious look so it will make people go and see the film.

Title
the title is in a big bold font and in a style that will grab your attention and fits in with the scenery of the film. the text is really easy to read becuase it is big, bold and is a diffrent colour to the whole poster so does not conflict with any other text.

Other Information
there are reviews on the poster showing that the public should go and watch the film becuase they have given it good reviews and stars that are highly rated.

Snatch Poster

People
there are many well known celebrities in this film, such as 'Jason Statham' who is a very well known English actor who has starred in many action thriller films. another example is 'Brad Pitt' who is a very well known American actor, Brad Pitt being in an English film will make the public want to watch the film and see how he handles his character within the film. There is also another person in the film that will attract people to watch it. This person is 'Guy Ritchie' who is a very well known English director known for his films.

Design
the poster design is quite plain but it is still effective. the poster shows a few of the characters that are in the film. although it is plain it still catches your eye because of the well known actors, if you see a large poster of Brad Pitt it will catch your eye because you want to see what the latest film he is starring in.

Colour
there are only 3 main colours in the poster, they are white, black and a reddish colour on the characters. these aren't outstanding colours but again its the characters that catch the publics eye when looking at the poster.

Title
The title 'Snatch' is the largest font on the poster this is to make the title stand out on the poster and to stand out from all the other text. The text being big and bold makes it easier to read which is a good thing because people won't confuse it with other movies that have a similar name.

Other Information
The tagline is very effective 'stealin' stones and breakin' bones' this is a good tagline becuase that is really the storyline, stealing diamonds and getting in fights. the poster does not have a release date on it.

The Meeting Write Up

with this video task it was mainly about dialogue shots and making sure they have a good continous speed. when shooting our clips again we used clapper boards because it was easier to organise the shots when editing on final cut. when shooting our scenes we did them in order of the story board instead of doing all the dialogue in the same shot.
my main contribution to the video was filming the shots and directing the actors and showing them what they needed to do and what was going to happen in the shot. the editing process was quite easy this is because we shot all the scenes in the right order so it was easy to put them in order on the timeline. also having the clapper boards at the start of the shots made it easier to organize them in order.

James Ward- Special Effects Make-up Artist

James Started of with putting a head cap to stop the models hair from going into the substance that was being put on to his face. after doing this James started to mix two moulds to make a self set glue that was going to be applied onto the models face. when applying the self set glue onto the models face James used polythene gloves not latex this is because it spoils the silicone that made the self set glue. The self set glue/silicone that James was using was made by a company called life-form that made mould life. after applying the silicone to the models face he applyed plaster cast ontop of the mould life to keep it in shape. after everything had set he carefully pulled away the mask from the models face to reveal the models facial features inside the mould life.

Match On Action Shot

this is when you cut during an action to another camera angle but showing action from the same point in time that you left it form the previous shot.

180 Degrees rule


this is the 180 degrees rule, this cuts through the middle of the scene, from side to side with respect to the camera,crossing the line changes the viewers perspective is such a way it may cause disorientation.

phonecall sequence

this is my finished phone call sequence

editing finished


this is my finished phone call film, i have finished all of my editing, as you can see the shots no longer have clapper boards at the beginning because i have cut them out of the shots.


this is the start of my editing to the phone call project. as you can see from the image above we started of the shot with clapper boards of the numbered shots, we did this because it would be easier to find the shots we needed to put in order

Target Audience


My target audience person is a skater. He enjoys going up to the skatepark and shredding up the park. if it is a rainy day he will sit at home and watch the extreme sports channel. This target audience is into the popular skate branded clothes and shoes. They aren't really into films unless they are about playing pranks on people or just doing insane stunts. the films they are into are about there way of life skateboarding.

Find Your Tribe



I took the tribe test and my result was skater. i think this is true about myself becuase i enjoy going down to my local skatepark and just riding around. The most clothes i wear are skinny jeans and a hoddie with high tops. if i see police coming i stand my ground if i know i have done nothing or leg it if they want to kick me out of my skate spot.

Definition of a skater!
You are a Skater! You go on the rule ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.’ Skater culture stays the same – as long as there is concrete to grind, trainers to ruin and rock to rock to. You like the implicit rebellion of skating in the urban jungle – and regularly record your stunts to show other skaters what you’re up to – but you would run a mile if you saw the police heading to your latest spot. You don’t want no trouble.

film production logo


L2 IDENT BEN from cmdiploma on Vimeo.

this is my film production logo that I have created to go at the beggining of future films i shall be making for my media diploma.

the things i have learnt in doing this project is editing clips in final cut express for example: fading in and out, making new filters.
the things i found difficult was trying to think about what soundtrack i should have to back up my graphics.

i did not find anything difficult with photoshop as i have used it before in GCSE Photography.
i was most please with the outer glow of my logo becuase it really stands out from the background.
