Progress with poster: Considering titles

I was on this online website where i could type in a title or a word and surf through thousands of fonts and colours till i came to the one i thought was amazing. I considered a lot of different fonts due to the genre of my film. I believed these all portrayed what I was looking for. Something gritty, complicated, hard, dark...etc. 

I was certain what we were calling the short film so i simply added some random title for now. 'Trauma' would work but i believe it;s too in your face. Gives too much away. 

 Unfortunately, this font looks too old and the way it just cuts is a shame. I wouldn't blend well into the poster which is a shame and it seems to have gone slight pixelised. This could be down to the screenshotting, but i just don't feel like this would work as well as the others.

This one of my top favourites. I like the old complexity it has. Seems like it's too Sci-fi though. IT has that X-files vibe that I'm not going for. Would work for a sci-fi thriller but not for a war/drama genre film.

I actually put this onto my poster to see if it would work well with what i have so far. Like the others, although they look good on plain paper, once it was on the background with some of the existing elements, it didn't seem to fit as well. It captures the 'old' look I was going for but it lacks what i need. It's hard to put it into words but these just don't fit - they don't feel right. As I'm aiming for top marks and to create an effective project, i want everything to work well together. This looks too much like a cartoon font, you can see by the brush strokes...etc.

EMAIL TO OCR

Me and Alex emailed the OCR board as we were concerned with an image on our posters. 
Basically, we were unable to get a primary picture of a WW2 aircraft for our poster, and we were worried in case we used a found image and it would jeopardise our 

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am currently working towards completing my A level in Media Studies and I'm enquiring about the use of found images within our Ancillary tasks. I was wondering if we are able to use some found image on our posters. Myself and my partner Alex are asking to use one found image. This is due to the lack of resources as the image we're using is of a WW2 Aircraft and are unable to locate one for the poster.

Thank you for your time,
Kind regards

Rebecca Graham.

PHOTOSHOOT!!

Little storyboard update

Over the next couple of days I'm going to be posting the storyboards we did for the shots...etc / the work we did int he TA centre.

Here is the start of the first couple of shots we did.
Some changes will be depending on how we approach the story. If we aim for an emotional film I would rather flashbacks and more sentimental and meaningful shots were used unlike random establishing shots of buildings. Although they're important when identifying a place, sometimes they aren't that necessary. For example: If we use rooms within the TA centre that resemble and shout out "hey this is where soldiers go" then that's ideal. This could happen by:
- Medals ...etc on the walls
- Old photographs
- The layout of the rooms...etc.

Phone Call

I just received a phone call off George - The main actor and my Sergeant Major. We were unsure if he still wanted to proceed with helping us with the project since he has been unable to make it to the last photoshoot days that we assigned.

He reassured us that he was still committed  to the task at hand and would love to be apart of the short film still. We have set a definite date now for the photoshoot and we will be meeting him at school on Friday the 9th January at 1:30pm.

He will be in his army ceremonials ready for the photoshoot. This will then mean that we just have to get Alfie's pictures, then start the ancillary tasks. I'm currently working towards creating an outline for the poster and review so all i'll have to do is slot it in afterwards.

Email to Hawthorne Care home

Me and Alex were struggling to find somewhere to do the last section of filming. We have all the rest of the fillers for the film and all the in-between sections, however, we are unable to locate somewhere with the same feel of  a care home. So instead of replicating a care home, we decided to get in contact with one and ask if they would be able to help us with our project, and let us film in one of their rooms that are available.

Below is a couple of screenshots from their website and one enquiry that we sent. If they allow us to film it would be incredibly ideal, as we are pushing it for time now with trying to film the rest of the film, edit then manage everything else as well as exam work so we need to get this cracked as fast as possible. The care home is located quite close to my house which means It's easy to get to and if they let us film, they may offer us another time to do it. I do hope they allow us. I understand that it's a care home, meaning that other residents are living there and they may feel uncomfortable about 'kids' hanging around filming, but they won't be included in the filming so their identity can remain anonymous.
