1. Pre-Production- FMP

2. Pre-production
• What are you making? I will be making a marketing campaign for a film
concept using pop figures. I will be focusing on making a series of posters to
promote the film which will include single character posters and group
character posters, these will mainly be created using cartoon drawings of each
pop figure created in Procreate which I will then put onto photoshop to create
the poster.
• Why? I wanted to make something unique and I feel I will do this well using
pop figures, as I can use unlikely characters and bring them together into one
production to represent a diverse group of characters and personalities that
usually would not work together in a film.
• Who is it for? 15-24 year olds
• Where will it appear/on what? My product will appear on posters, billboards
and online e.g. social media. My product will mainly consist of a range of
posters which are aimed to be put in bus shelters and around cinemas.

3. Colour scheme
• I have chosen this a range of colour scemes as I feel it will fit with
the overall theme of my product- having different colours for each
character and it will fit with the text well as I intend to contrast the
text colour based on the character. I feel it will contrast the colours
of the pop figures, so they will stand out to the audience and draw
them into the film. As I am making a series of posters, each poster
will have a different color scheme. This will keep my work unique
and each piece different to each other. Each character will have
specific colours assigned to them, which will reflect the colours of
the figure and make the poster stand out to the audience.

I have explored different
brushes in procreate that I
would potentially like to use
on my posters/ billboard
covers. I have picked these
in mind of creating the
titles using one of these
brushes on procreate.
I have these brushes in
mind for detail on the
posters/ billboard covers.
I especially like the Dove
Lake, as I feel I will be
able to create unique
detail on my work which
will be effective to the
audience.

7. Font ideas- Poster title
• Make No Sense Font | dafont.com
• Heaters Font | dafont.com
• Edo SZ Font | dafont.com
• Hey August Font | dafont.com
• Hiatus Font | dafont.com
• Surfing Capital Font | dafont.com
• Ocean Rush Font | dafont.com
• Black Rocker Font | dafont.com
• For each poster, I intend to change the font of
the title, based on the character and their
known personality.
• I would like it to look as through it has been
sketched/drawn onto the poster, so have
chosen some fonts based on my ideal
outcome.
• If I don’t use these fonts I would like to use a
brush on procreate based on the character to
draw my title, in the style that I feel suits best.

8. Font ideas- Film logo
• Beyond The Mountains Font | dafont.com
• Brokenbrush Font | dafont.com
• Hamish Font | dafont.com
• Walking in the Street Font | dafont.com
• Mark My Words Font | dafont.com
• For my film logo I would like it to
look bubbly and have a sense of
adventure to it, so that it will
represent the mystery in the
concept of the film idea on its
marketing.
• I intend for the logo to be simple
and effective, which is why I have
selected these few fonts to work
with as they aren’t over dramatic,
which is perfect for my logo.

9. Sketching my
characters
• For sketching my characters, I intend to
use the process of rotoscoping, as I feel this
is the best way to achieve the accuracy.
• I will start off by opening a photo of the
pop figure in procreate, creating a new
layer and using a grey brush to roughly
sketch out the character.
• I will then hide the image layer and
create another on top of the sketch and
create a refined drawing based on this
sketch.
• Once this has been completed I will use
the colour picker on the original image to
fill in each section of the refined drawing to
add colour to the character.

11. Contingency
Planning
Potential Issue Solution
Camera battery may die when
needed for taking photos.
Make sure I charge the battery
fully before use and have a spare
in case it does end up running out
of charge
Pop figures don’t move, so will be
limited to what angles I can take
photos from and what shots I can
take.
Adjust my work to fit the figure,
and let can always be adjusted
when sketching in Procreate to fit
the poster if needs be.
Apple pencil may run out of
charge while drawing.
Save work so none of it is lost,
move on to a different part of
project while pencil is charging e.g.
creating logo, poster titles, tag
lines etc in photoshop.
Mac or iPad stops working. Use other resources e.g. if mac
isn’t working, continue working on
the iPad until I am able to use the
mac again.
SD card becomes corrupt Try to have a back up of photos on
the Mac in case this happens, so I
will not be without my photos

12. Health and
Safety
Potential Issue How will the
issue be avoided?
Water may get spilled onto
equipment, which could start a
fire/ damage equipment and
cause an injury.
Make sure nobody brings any
food or drink near any electrical
items to avoid the risk of injury
and breakage.
If figure is not on a level
surface, they could fall off and
cause injury.
Make sure surface is flat and
figure if not stood on the edge
of the surface to avoid it getting
knocked off.
Area for photographing may
not be tidy, and could be a
potential trip hazard.
Eliminate as many trip hazards
as possible prior to
photographing, to avoid any
accidents that may happen.
Tripod isn’t place on a level
surface and could potentially
cause injury.
Use the spirit level provided on
the tripod and keep it within a
safe distance from others.
COVID-19 global pandemic
could infect myself or
someone involved in my
production.
Social distance and wear a face
covering where possible, use
lateral flow testing to avoid
coming into contact with
someone who has covid.
