Final Comments

        I had a great time working on this project for my AICE Media A Level class. This assignment has taught me a lot about time management, working with actors, as well as making deadlines. Deranged was a thought that came to me late last year and it is so exciting seeing the project come to life in it's final form. I hope you have enjoyed the products I have created as much as I have had making them. Thank you and I can't wait for what the future has in store.

Progress

        As I come to the end of this project I want to make sure that I continue to stay on task and give my full effort until the very end. It is sometimes easy to get lazy when it comes to finalizing a large project such as this one. I hope to prevent such mistakes by keeping on track with certain dates. With the projects due date being just about a week away, I would like to completely finalize each trailer no later than Wednesday, April 12th. This time frame gives me enough time to not feel pressured in finishing, however I need to stay on track and finalize portions each day. Next I would like to finalize the website by Friday, April 14th. Most of the website is done however I may want to add various pieces such as more screen grabs to the gallery. I also need to upload the trailers to the website once those are completed. Lastly, the poster should be done by Saturday, April 15th. The poster, while not so simple, takes the least amount of time however wanting to be done with it by Saturday does not mean that I will only be starting it on Saturday. I hope to choose the image and begin the process of creating the poster earlier in the week. The only other portion to the project is the CCR, or creative critical reflection. I hope to have the CCR completed right after the poster as I will be reflecting on the project as a whole answering various questions.

Poster

        For the final piece of my project I need to make a movie poster. While sometimes challenging to make a professional looking poster, through the use of certain templates and examples it is possible. I would like to use an image that is relatable to the film. I plan on taking a photo using either a prop from the film or a character. The poster will follow a similar format as many other posters do. At the bottom will be a credits list and as well as information such as the rating and release date. Towards the top will be the title and some some of the main actors. I also plan on printing a large physical copy. Below is an example of a past movie poster I made as part of a different assignment. 

        While the poster I plan on making is going to follow a similar format, I hope to increase the quality and not use just any other template's layout. With the project being due no later than next Sunday, I am excited to finish up this project and see the final product.

Website

        Movie websites are a lot more simple than I ever imagined they would be. I have been using websites from various horror films as inspiration for my own website such as https://www.lightsoutmovie.com. Starting with the home screen, I put a large title and plan on adding links to various social media pages. I have added a catchy slogan as well to give the home page something more to read rather than just the title. The image also captures viewers attention and is a carried theme throughout the entire website. Deranged has a lot to do with chemicals and I thought that the image represented that theme fairly well.

        

        Next comes the story/synopsis. While I do not want to give away the entire plot, it is nice to let viewers know a little background before purchasing the film. The synopsis shares the story of how Christina got into the chemicals and how Emily now is stuck in a very strange and confusing situation. I have also added some text on this page from the trailer to relate the two together.

        The next page is relatively self-explanatory: the gallery. I noticed on many of these films websites that they had a small gallery of screenshots from their films and and decided to follow the crowd. Galleries give viewers a sense of the tone throughout the film without moving images. It also lets the characters expressions explain their side to the story. Currently I only have four images in the gallery but may decide to add more if I see fit.

        The final two pages are for the trailers and a little more explanation on mental illness. Currently, the trailer page does not have anything on it as the trailers have not yet been finalized. The mental illness page goes more in depth on the diseases displayed throughout the film to raise awareness. I do not want the film to come across as making fun of people with these diseases and explaining more of the illnesses could help with that cause.
