Drafting and planning

As mentioned in a previous blog post, http://lewisglennonmediaa2.blogspot.co.uk/2016/02/organisation_20.html, I have recently been gathering pictures for my movie poster and movie magazine. Unfortunately I hit a bit of a snag with my Castro actor being unable to do a shoot on the day I planned. Therefore I will do his photo's on Tuesday 1st March. However I have been able to gather Poezzi's pictures and have selected ones appropriate for the poster and magazine below.

I am really fond of these seven images as I feel that they portray Poezzi perfectly as it shows his dominance and power. I am yet to decide what images will feature where at the moment so I picked seven I feel I could use for both the poster and magazine if needed. I feel that the third image could be used well for a magazine cover as there is plenty of space for me to add cover lines etc if I don't use Castro, but I could even add Castro if needed. However I will need to cut out the window background of that shot.


I also feel that the fourth image could be used well in a poster. I tried to base this off of the pose Ron Kray is doing in a poster I recently looked at, http://lewisglennonmediaa2.blogspot.co.uk/2016/02/organisation_20.html, and feel that it reflected it well. However my only problem with this is if I use this for a movie poster, then Castro will have to go above Poezzi. This will show how Poezzi is perhaps thinking about his next steps but may hint to the audience that Castro is the protagonist rather than the antagonist.



However I got an image where I could put Poezzi about Castro, as shown by the image above to help me with this problem. My last two images are one's I am gonna consider for an effect where I mix in Castro with Poezzi, as shown again with the link above to my previous blog post. By getting his body in and the gun it allows me to fit in Castro as well as  landmarks, as well showing the audience the action in the film as shown by the gun. However if this effect looks poor it is still a strong image that I can use on either my magazine or movie poster.

  1. I think that the third photo would go well for a magazine because it offers the opportunity to include other characters on it too. The final two would be good for a poster though as they show indications of action and give a feel for what the movies about

  2. The one with Bowen looking down with a cigar looks awesome, and I also like the first gun picture where the gun is facing more upwards. He looks more like he is a professional with the gun when it is closer to the right way up. :)

  3. i think the first or fifth one for the magazine as magazine cover stars are normally facing forwards with eye contact however i think the fourth would do best with a poster as his body language and the cigar prop make it look dramatic, the gun photos might look a bit too cliche
