Film Poster Planning (4)

You can either do this as a follow up to your film poster pitch or include it in the presentation.

Either way you need to clearly identify
1.
The name of your film production company

This will appear on your poster and film credits. Design a logo if you like! It's essential if you are working as a group and helpful if you are working alone to create a brand identity for yourself. ('The Apprentice' may be daft but it's not entirely wrong from a strategic point of view - just choose a better name than Synergy or Apollo!)Your name will help you keep a clear focus on a meaningful industry context for your film and its ancillary products and make some sense of all those hats you are wearing. You will get marks for this kind of awareness and its impact on your creative choices in both the blog and the evaluation. Look at all those films on Youtube .. the ones up for competitions usually have production company names ...

2.
5 -10 planned (ie storyboarded) production shots you will take while filming.

The shots that are not used for the poster will be needed for the Film Review page. Professional designers curse film makers who do not plan ahead and take good production shots. You cannot go back later and sort this out and you will be very busy while filming. Don't assume you will remember to take production shots if they are not on your to do list! Of course you can seize the moment and take unplanned ones too...
