Trailer Draft 1

This is a version of the trailer in the early stages - there is a notable absence of narration, in addition to a number of sound effects and the editing can be rather shoddy, particularly in the latter part of the trailer as lengthy encode times meant that there was no time to fix the somewhat glaring mistakes. We have identified a number of shots that will be replaced with more appropriate ones in the final version.

A more updated version will be released soon with better cuts and additions to both visual and audio effects. Much of the footage will need to be replaced with those of a higher quality as the edit was made mainly with highly compressed versions of the files. However this current draft reflects the general structure of our trailer and for the most part is a good representation of what will be the final product.

Theatrical Poster First Draft

First draft of our poster. This is still a work in progress as we think that James and I (second and third from the left) are too similar in our poses, so we are considering changing the photo we're using for me.

Theatrical Poster Background

Below is an incomplete version of the theatrical poster, without the other characters and other visual elements that will be in the foreground.

Magazine Front Cover - GQ

Below is the front cover for a GQ magazine. These magazine front covers have suave men dressed in smart clothes, and in this way James conforms to the expectations of the cover. This sort of magazine would help sell our film through establishing a connection between the actor and the audience, enabling them to connect to the film on more than one level.

Magazine Front Cover - The Hollywood Reporter

 

Character Poster - Nicholas Ashurst as Lucas Thorne

Below is one of the character posters that we will be producing for our film. These are often released as a set, with character posters being released of several of the main characters. This can be seen in films such as Les Miserables, Harry Potter and X-Men.They are usually seen when the film has a large number of memorable lead characters, and are often used when the audience already knows some of the character and wants to know how they look in the new film.

Magazine Front Cover Drafts

Below are the drafts for the various designs we have for our magazine front cover (currently without text). We wanted to explore all the magazines associated with cinema and culture in order to 'promote' our film - much like a blockbuster film would in it's marketing campaign leading up to its release. Several other, more conventional designs are being worked on, ie. a cover for an edition of EMPIRE magazine.

 

It would be nice to be able to use all of them, but we will select one of the designs as our main one.

 

 

 

Character Poster Draft

Below is the basic design of one of the character-centric posters for our film. There are still many elements to be added in order, for instance title and production information - in addition to more cinematic processing and colour grading - to make the poster look authentic.
