Music




We are either going to overlay a track over the footage (we have already removed all the sound), or i am in the middle of making our own music. Then, we are going to decide which is going to sound the best.

Questionnaires for the audience:
































Production logo and movie cover:


Step one:

Shannon has drawn this as our production (LRS) for Laura, Ronnie, Shannone, and the picture of a lily  that we are going to need later on, when i develop it further and change it on the photoshop on the mac computer.















Production logo finished





Photoshop

This is the first step into making the cover on the photoshop.
I have erased the back ground off with the eraser tool and this has made the flower look very pretty, but looking like it is dying. The flower reflects on the actual girl called Lily.



I had to take a picture of Laura, as her face is going to be on the DVD cover because she is the protagonist.

I would like to include her and the lily, to represent her name, Lily.


And this is what i have done. After i have finished the lily, i have uploaded the photo of Laura on the photoshop as well, and i wanted to make her look ghosty.

So i have used the fill tool and picked a white colour, which i have poured on her face. This has only made part of her face white, so i have used the smudge tool to smudge the white all over the face.

I have picked some bits darker to show shading and also changed Laura's eye colour to bright blue, so her eyes stand out more using the brush tool. I had erased the background around her face using an eraser, but left a frame, which i had coloured black.

Then i have dragged the finished photo of Laura onto the lily one and i have lowered the capacity of the lily layer, to make the lily fade in and the face stand out more.


This is the writing "Lily" that is also going to go on the front cover. I have drawn this in a very light looking way, to completely contrast Laura's scary face. This is supposed to show the fact that although we know that there is going to be something scary and ghosty, the writing makes it OK.  I will now put this on top of the nearly finished poster.



This is the finished cover of our film.
I have garthered some pictures of stars and the "15" image of the internet i put on top of the layers. I have added some writing to present a proper DVD cover.

I have just coloured the writing in gold colour, so it stands out, but not too muh, hence it is not too bright becasue it has to reflect on the conept of the story.
