Possible Poster Fonts

This font is good as it has a slightly childish look, with simple design. This is easy to see and read, while still keeping to the same style

This font doesn't fit the feel of the film to be the title, however I do like the style. Another major problem with this font is the difficulty to see the letters within.

This font is very close to the font that is at the title of 'Daddy', the ghostly image and outline of the font. The way of making this better, is by copying the image over and adding a slight blur/gausian blur to the font, which will difuse the background.

This font does not fit the style/genre of the film as it has a slightly more religious look than the short has.

I like the most of the letters in this font because they are easy to read and have a slight distortion. However the Ls and Ts of the font are too distorted and don't seem as serious of this.

This font is very similar to the 'TelevisualMan' font, which is very digital and distorted. However this digital look doesn't fit the genre of the my short film in any way, so it would be useless as the font.

This is a very good font because it has a childish look, but still has a managable look and doesn't seem to strange. This could work as the font for the 'The Absence of Life'

This is the font that we have decided to use for the actual film because it's suits the narrative and genre.

I am going to have to use more fonts to see what will fit the genre and compare them directly to other posters.

Film posters Pt 2

 Coffee Films
Silence Amplified

I like this poster as it creates a feeling of drama and annonymity, something I want to present in my film. I like the use of a single colour being chosen and amplified, I also like the use of completely blacking out the person so we cannot see him. The font in this poster is very simple and creates a feel of technology, not something I want the audience to associate with my film.


 This poster for Televisual Man is similar to that of Silence amplified. However it focuses on the characters face. I think this could have a good effect as a poster for the film as it connotes an intensity that I want to feel for my film. The font in this poster is similar to Silence Amplified but much bolder and thicker. However it doesn't fit with the genre and style of my short.

Ideas for flashbacks

The Flashbacks should increase in tension as they happen, so the first beach sequence should be slower and softer than the later sequences. This means that the music should be similar to the feel of the cinematography and should be faster
Beach Sequence:
Narrative:
Enters the flahsback from the signt of the pebble


Basketball scene:
Narrative:
Enters the Flashback with Marc hitting a basketball off a table. The last one and thus is the one when they are the oldest. This is going to be set after the death of their parents (the only one that is) and as they are playing basketball they are confronted by 'bullies' who in some way mention their parents. This is where the older brother 'punches' the others. We then cut away on the landing of the punch to the basketball.

Cinematography and Edit:
I want to sue close ups of the mian character 'Marc' during the argument. While the 'bullies' shout at the two brothers we never see their faces or the older brothers. We only hear from 'Marc's' perspective. The cuts should be fast paced during the scene and the feel should be slightly uncomfortable and nightmarish. The sequence should end on a mid/close of the ball bouncing, this bouncing should be a piece of pictoral editing to the same shot within the house after 'Marc' hits the basketball off the table (the opening to the flashback)

He hears the front door closing, and runs out to the front of his house. The girlfriend is then forced to run out to follow him,  confronting him about his denial and has to get him to accept what has happened. The film ends with the couple on the floor, with the brother hysterical
