Poster Analysis

Below I analysed the three types of poster (Teaser, Character and Theatrical) for the film "Mean Streets" as it has the same type of style I am aiming for in my own film:

Teaser:

Character:

Theatrical:

From this analysis my favourite type of poster is the character poster as you can show the audience little sneak peaks of the traits they hold.

My Storyboard

Music (Updated)

I have been frantically trying to edit my soundtrack but problems that have arised are being unable to upload or after editing the clip resorts back to its original form. 

To correct this I have uploaded my song onto the software 'Garage band' and have successfully edited the song but now having problems uploading into ' I-movie'

I have now uploaded the music onto Imovie and trimmed it into a 30 second piece. 

Empathy for Audience

Upon viewing my film my tutor has given me some feedback which resulting in the realisation there is a lack of empathy for both of my characters as there is not of information on their backgrounds or motives and in the case of the prisoner, reaction shots to empathise with him.


To  successfully create empathy I have to film some reaction shots of the prisoner character in order for the audience to relate to them and insert stills/shots to represent "memories' for the main character showing him as a father and having a relationship/missing his son.


To create these flashbacks I have carried out further research of transitions from two directors who are the main influence of my film: Guy Richie & Quentin Tarantino.
