Final Poster


This is my final poster, i decided to have my character (the schizophrenic) standing behind a tree and then behind him is his other personality obviously being different.
I think this symbolises schizophrenia.
I have included quotes from my trailer because I think that would be effective because after seeing the trailer the audience will imediately recognise the film.

Memento


Memento is a phsycological thriller film, the main character of the film is a man called leonard who part way through the film is diagnosed with short term memory loss and can't remember something that happend half an hour ago unless he takes photos and writes down what happens. His wife was assaulted which is when he got hit on the head which resulted in his memory loss because he tried to help her. Important things that he needs to remember he has a tattoo saying important facts.
A cop rings Lennie and tells him that he knows what he has done, Lennie is unaware that he killed a man and believes that his wife died in the assault. The Cop (Teddy) helps Lennie find the man that killed his wife resulting in Lennie killing him.
Teddy then explains that Lennnie has already killed the man he thought killed his wife and that he has just killed someone else.
Throughout the film Lennie makes references to a Man called Sammie who apparantly killed his own wife because she kept telling him to inject her with her insulin and because Sammie had memory loss he didnt realise he was giving her an overdose.
Later on in the film we find out that Sammie is made up and the story of him killing his wife is actually Lennies story.
The plot of events that really happend were
Lennies Wife is Assaulted
Lennie gets memory loss
wife diabetic
lennis injects with too much insulin
Sammie is just a made up story

posters







I have found a few posters for films which i could base my final piece on

Mrs Hammonds homework

In Mrs Hammonds lesson we watched two adverts one for "Ben Ten" and one for "I Love Ponies" we were asked to compare the two of them and show how each of them represent the genders.

Ben Ten: This advert is advertising something that will be watched by boys, we know this from the advert because of the colours used and it is also a male voice over. The colours used are alot of red and blue, these are colours mainly asociated with the male sex, there is a lot of sharp cuts and has music played over the top.



I love Ponies: i love ponies is an advert where the product is quite clearly directed at girls, there is a lot of glitter in the advert and also a lot of pink. Over the top the voice over is a woman who sounds like a Mum talking to their daughter. This will make young girls want this product more because of the way the woman sounds, she sounds nice and friendly which is what they will look for. The use of pink is very important in the advert and makes a lot of different.




Both of the adverts clearly show the difference in gender mainly by the use of colour and the gender of the person who delivers the voice over

Mrs Hammond Thursday period 3

We have been given a practical lesson in thursday period three which i am going to spend doing my filming, I am going to capture the schitzophrenic side of Jack first and my idea is to be in his living room whith him sitting on a chair staring at his friends who are all laughing and joking on his sofa.
I want him to seem scary and weird, i think it will be more eerie if he doesnt say anything and just says it all in his facial expressions

pics for my magazine







I took a lot of photos and i liked these three because it shows my character (Jack Gamble) alone, i asked him to pull some faces that makes him look angry. The picture of him pushing the swing i think is effective because it shows him obviously keeping himself amused and it looks like hes playing with someone.
I got Jack to play this character because of his facial expressions and his ability to play this character well
