tasks mixed up

process of making a posters
from making my poster, I looked at a range of different romantic comedy posters. I found that texts were often very bold, and the two+ main love affair characters were always shown with a costume prop to match the plot. some posters portrayed a back to back or face to face to show some drama and relationship between the characters, an idea of the relationship between the two+ people. then I looked at lots of other movie genre posters to see what I could find with them and how text arrangements/layouts and colours were used to express the mood and theme of the movie.

 these are some film posters I looked at and some detail I found about them.

I found the color white often used for romantic comedy posters and saw the variation of the style throughout different times in history from. old 50's posters would look much ,ore interesting and comical. a very open to humour approach with a lot going on. todays style is very simple with the image/characters wholly trying to convey the title of the movie.9
I wanted to be different with my movie poster. most of the posters didn't seem very interesting, I wanted mine to stand out and pull the audience. for this I did some research and looked for a target audience for the genre of romantic comedies. the genre aimed at women from 14+. after the finding of this very vague large audience, I decided to look into what women want. I wanted to do some research of love itself and what women find cute, and funny to build a concept of what could really grab the audience and what they really wanted to see. I did a simple question/answer interview with a huge variation of different types of women from age to ethnicity, culture, specific 'stereotype' women and some men who liked the genre. this is what I found on my research.
I have come to know that most of the audience seek the realistic fantasy mood, the possibility and hope.  they like to see realistically beautiful women who are unseen and hard working, shes special, and different. I do wish I interviewed more, it was a valuable process to know what the audience thinks. needy of a shooting star, or time in their life where they find someone special. its all very girly and day dreamy but the more exaggerated it is the better, as the possibility in a girls imagination is limitless.
I did some scientific research and found that women are attracted to the tall dark stranger stereo type and men are attracted to girls with very baby features and certain hip to waist ratio.
what would have I liked for the woman and man on my cover poster to look like was very important and drastically opened a new chamber of ideas. the way they stood, the way their character dressed. did I want to exemplify all women, or a specific kind of woman in need of a hero. thinking of the male role preferences was not as easy as I thought. there were a range of specifics of a dream guy but I found the few main keys were 'he has to be funny/witty/charming' 'out of the blue completely wrong but right. (an unexpected love.)' 'handsome' and the main ideal man would have to be a successful business man type.' but I have come to understand that these peoples dreams are far fetched and very cheesy. I noticed the style of the completely ride guy ending up with the beautiful girl, which I really liked. the concept of 'perfection' is far from perfect and far from the much more beautiful reality. we need to show the click, the spark. I chose the mean girl, and bad boy.

the theme, picture research. ideas such as finding romance in facial expressions, sarcasm, the chemistry and psychology between two characters. creating a unseemingly perfect couple. both beautiful with a brokenness, or childhood sadness/sickness. open up to no one except eachother..decide they love eachother.
colour schemes. pink, violet, sensitive feminine love colours to convey the atmosphere of romance within the trailer. costume colour match. nice lovey places. experiment with setting appearance. a nice city place with many people .
other ideas.
opposite ideas.             no need to get angry

character picture taking.              ''I will love you most, on the day after forever.''
atmosphere and mood of poster.      ''its like tasting the stars.'' ''I never knew id feel it. you know when they said it takes a fifth of a second to fall in love, I didn't know it could happen to me, and it did.''
''I was lost into you, having to realise I had fallen in love, long after I fell for you.''
''that little bit of sunlight.''
#and I love each part of him with all my heart, soul and mind''
improvements, versions. ''every single night, as I lay down in bed...and theres this huge, empty space right next to me,  i just lay there; thinking about the arms missing from around my waist, wondering what you look like asleep, knowing right now your awake because you would be, just thinking about everything we never did. and its not the stars that I wished on, or the universe cursing me anymore. I bet they want it to, they want us together. its you, you refuse to love me because your scared if you jump, you wont fly, you'll fall and crash. did I never tell you i'd catch you, if you slip? or is this just your way of stopping me from 'falling' at all.''

process of using premiere
I decided to  use premiere for my editing as it is used for real feature films and has professional standards. I have used premiere before on other occasions of making home videos or short clips. my knowledge of the software is little, but just enough to get me by with this task. who knows, I may learn more. I find timing of music very important and clarity of the colour/filters of the clips and camera shaky-ness. the angles are very important in terms of perspective and must be well decided upon. I would like to take a natural approach to the movie atmosphere and close a circle of these two individual people, with everything else being a background. that sort of love effect, where everything else ceases to matter and you concentration is driven to the one person. I want to try using different kinds of music to convey a different look on the story. music is very controlling of the mood, I could easily re arrange a few clips and create a whole different atm osphere. there are many important elements to creating movie magic. dubbing, maybe even Foley, timing, colour, text, typography etc..
I think I will mainly improvise as this is not such a serious project, moreover its a growth/learning experience/ exploration. I want to take some really beautiful outside, public area scenes from movies i've seen before and remake them, in my own style.
thinking about filming, location, actors, props, costumes, concept setting design, camera,  sound recording after. direction, character roles, lines, script. changes due to timing, professionalism. in real cases.
story ideas and themes of ideas, concepts, research quotes, inspiration, watching rom-coms, comparisons, ideas, real life relationships. kinds of relationships. circumstances of relationships, self experience? etc. draw images conveying what you find sparks in or romance. certain scenes you want to make come to life. links between make ups and breakups. matchups, character preferences and personalities. character diaries and personal hobbies thoughts and interests.
