Poster Editing 02

Pictures for poster part 3

This is the photograph I have to chosen to use in our poster, this is due to the body language, as she is turning away as if she is not only scared and lonely, but also ashamed of what has happened to her, she has become "that girl" that is beaten by her boyfriend and doest know what to do about it.
She looks truly defeated.

Title

 

I have chosen this phrase at the title for my short because of its cultural significance, and this phrase has iconsised abuse and has been referenced numerous times in American pop culture.

The themes of our short film are abuse and the dangers of drugs, and this title depicts abuse, but also connotes the use of drugs- straight to the "moon". This title has many levels of depth and suggests the issues that my short film deals with.

The Honeymooners is an American television show, based on a 1951–'55 sketch of the same name, which originally aired on the DuMont Network's "Cavalcade of Stars" and subsequently on the CBS Network's "Jackie Gleason Show".
 
 Alice is Ralph's patient but sharp-tongued wife of roughly 15 years. She often finds herself bearing the brunt of Ralph's insults, which she returns with biting sarcasm. She is level headed, in contrast to Ralph's pattern of inventing various schemes to enhance his wealth or his pride; in each case, she sees the current one's unworkability, but he becomes angry and ignores her advice. (And by the end of the episode, her misgivings are almost always proven to have been well-founded.) She has grown accustomed to his empty threats: "... one of these days ... Pow! Right in the kisser! One of these days Alice, straight to the Moon!"

Poster Editing

This is the editing in stages I have done of our chosen photo in photoshop for our short film poster. 

Evidence of Film making and costume design.

These photographs were taken of the makeup selection used to to create the "bruised eye" effect for the filming of the first and last scene. 

 These are followed by the shots of the clothing selection we had available to try and recreate the design we had made earlier.

These are some before and after shots of Francesca (Mias) eye. The photograph on the left is the makeup that we decided that would be a good party look. We then followed a tutorial about how to make a realistic bruised eye and we then improvised from there. I think that this is a very realistic costume makeup.  

Below are the shots of the hairstyling done for the party scene, which was needed to end our first scene. 

Here are also some more shots of during the filming and testing the different light settings and how they affected the camera.

Shots for poster

These are the two pictures that we are choosing between for our poster.
