Trailer Poster: Editing Background

The first step I had to do when creating my background and making it fit my poster was to upload it. Once I had uploaded it, it uploaded as a very small picture behind the headline. 

I then dragged my picture and made it adapt nicely to the background of my poster. 

I then decided that the blue sky background looked to plain on its own, so wanted to blend something else in with it. I thought that stars would look effective and link nicely with the genre, so I uploaded a star 
background over the top of the blue sky background.

I then changed the opacity of the star background to 40%. This way it started to blend with the blue sky background.

This was my end result.

Trailer Poster: Creating Headline

After trialing all of the fonts out on the magazine template, I decided to go with "Saginaw".
I decided to go with this font due to it fitting well with the genre and also it was "handwritten" like which is what I was intending to use.

I began by selecting the "Saginaw" font.

I then made it the correct font size to fit correctly onto my poster.

Designing Headline
I began starting planning ideas for my magazine poster and started off with testing all different fonts for my headline "Grace". Whilst going through all of the fonts on the programme, these were the ones I decided I liked the most and I think would fit nicely with the genre and theme of my poster and trailer. Now that I have narrowed it down to these, I am going to create my poster and try out all of these fonts to see which one looks the best, when fitted with the picture and background also.

Trailer: Experimenting With The Use of Music

Firstly, I chose the piece of music to complement my trailer, in which i chose "Relaxing Piano Piece - John Moore". Then, following my story board, I placed the piece of music in appropriate places, making sure it fitted correctly and linked with my shots. My original idea was to have no music at the beginning and to just have voice over. However, after trying it out both ways, I realised that my trailer looked and sounded a lot better with both the music and voice over overlaying each other.

Using the schools recording facilities, I got my actress to voice record the voice over I wanted in my trailer as it would produce a more non-diegetic sound with better clarity. The recording could then be converted into a MP3 file so that I could upload and fit it into my trailer.
