The document provides details on the color scheme and fonts that will be used for a film. It describes choosing a mixture of bright and dark colors like green, blue, yellow, orange, and red to appeal to the target audience, as well as darker colors like purple and black to reference the darker elements of the plot. Several potential fonts are listed that could be used for the title, with descriptions of each font's style and why it may work well. The end summarizes plans to design the movie poster similarly to Scream, with the villain's face central and characters on top, below the title and release date.

2. Style sheet 1: Colour Scheme
Based upon the feedback I received from the audience survey, my Target Audience would prefer a mixture of bright and dark colours as part of the film’s colour scheme
so I have chosen a collection of colours that will appeal to my Target Audience. For example, I have chosen to focus on a similar colour scheme to that of The Lego Movie.
I will be using Green which is the colour of nature and symbolises growth, harmony, freshness, and fertility – These factors will make it appeal to the audience as it gives
them a sense of safety that will draw them away from the tonal shift that takes place when and familiarity. It will be accompanied by a light blue which is associated with
health, healing, tranquility, understanding, and softness. It is a usually accepted as a masculine color and according to studies it is highly accepted among males, thus not
only will it add to the relaxed and feeling created by using Green but also appeal to the male members of the audience. I will also be using Yellow which is associated with
joy, happiness, intellect, and energy. It produces a warming effect, arouses cheerfulness, stimulates mental activity,x and generates muscle energy. These two colours
will be accompanied by Orange which To the human eye is a very hot colour and thus gives viewer the sensation of heat. Nevertheless, orange is not as aggressive as red,
it increases oxygen supply to the brain, produces an invigorating effect, and stimulates mental activity. It is highly accepted among young people which will serve well for
my own film as it is supposed to emulate that style. The colour is symbolic of strength and endurance which works in tangent with the adventure aspect of which the plot
is based upon. I mentioned that the colours would be accompanied by Red which is a very emotionally intense colour. It enhances human metabolism and raises blood
pressure which are similar to the feelings you get whilst on am adventure, yet again connecting to the underlining theme of the movie. These are inviting and lively
colours that welcomes the viewer and connotes a happy go lucky atmosphere for a majority of the production however there will be hints within the colour scheme of
the darker tone which will become apparent later on in the film’s plot. This darker colour scheme will have Purple which evokes gloom and sad feelings that directly
reference the darker ending yet to come at the climax of the film. For this I will be using Dark Purple which connotes gloom and sad feelings, this will directly reference
the gloomy ending and contrast well with the other selected colours. As for these colours, they will include Dark greenis associated with ambition, greed, and jealousy
which goes well with the fantasy section of the film where the Dragon comes to steal another’s eggs along with the ambition for completing the adventure all the main
characters have, Dark blue which connotes knowledge, power, integrity, and seriousness. This will be used as another reminder to the audience that not everything is as
it seems with there being darker undertones scattered around within the colour scheme. Finalising it all with Black which is associated with power, elegance, formality,
death, evil, and mystery – these all factor into the recurring hints towards the film not being all that it seems, the climax to the movie will take place in a dark
environment which encapsulates the colour black as well of having it compliment the other colours well – along with making them stand out far better.

These are a list of Fonts that I could potentially be using throughout my project taken from
sources like DaFont and ones which are already built into programs like PowerPoint and
word. The first of which is Adobe Casion Pro Bold, this font is simple but still has style to
make it stand out. The next is Arial Black which is a more generic font but it is effective in
its simpleness. The next is Aveniir Black Oblique which shares a lot of the same aspects as
the others but isn’t as thick which could potentially look better depending on what is
around the place where I would place the title – it could work better for the cast’s names
or the synopsis on the back of the DVD case. The fourth font is called Bernard MT
Condensed and it is a bold font with very little line spacing, this looks a lot like one an old
Toy Shop would have which could be a nice nod to what was used to create the stop
motion film in the first place… Toys and figures, It is also easily visible and stands out which
is excellent for a Film’s title. Finally from the preinstalled fonts is Britannic Bold, this is a lot
like the previous font but not only isn’t as bold but also has a little more line spacing which
is both appealing to the eye and easy to read, yet again excellent factors that contribute to
it being a possible choice during my final product. As for the fonts on DaFont, I have chosen
a font called Night Machine which is far more stylised than any of the previously
mentioned fonts with its sharp edges and solid bold form which looks both aesthetically
pleasing and memorable. The other is called Nixie One and is the thinnest of the fonts, it is
simple yet extremely effective in its design – being nice on the eye and
The poster for SCREAM is made up of several
different fonts which encapsulate the style the
poster was going for. ‘S C R E A M’ is written along
the bottom in white, bold and block capital letters.
Due to this, the title is large and easy to be seen by
the audience. Each letter is spaced out which could
be in reference to the length of a scream and show
that it is a long drawn out song. Another significant
detail is that of the end letter ‘M’ has been edited.
The middle has been stretched downwards to a
sharp point this clearly represents a knife which the
victims are killed by. The main image on the poster
is a close up of a young girl’s face. The girl’s eyes are
wide, making her look shocked - these follow the
viewer which causes an unsettling feeling within
them as if they were being watched which is a
feeling felt by a lot of characters within the film.
This is to attract their attention and draw them to
the poster as well as the movie. The girl is portrayed
as being very pale which could suggest she is very
frightened or has been killed off by the killer. These
are aspects which could possibly lead to the
audience being intrigued to find out what is really
going on in the film. The girl has a hand covering
her mouth, this could suggest several different
things to the audience and lead them to ask.. Is it
her hand? And is she covering her mouth because
she is shocked or it could be someone else’s hand
that is preventing her from screaming which refers
back to the film’s title. The poster colour scheme is
in black and white, this could represent the
darkness within the soul of the killer, death within
the film or the darkness which shrouds the killer’s
identity.
There is some extra narrative at the top of the poster in white text. ‘Someone has taken their love of scary movies
too far. Solving this mystery is going to be murder.’ This gives the audience a slightly clearer understanding of what
the film will be about because it tells them that it will be a film which is based upon finding out who is committing
the murders depicted on screen. This text also plants the idea into the audience’s head that makes them feel as if
the film’s events could potentially happen because it uses everyday terminology like ‘scary movies’. By talking
about a ‘scary movie’ on the poster for a scary movie it makes the film feel less fictional to the audience. By using
the word ‘murder’ to describe how hard it will be to find the killer who committed the murders give the word a
double meaning, it also has a lot of significance. The text is also an introduction to the poster and allows the
audience to have their own opinion on what might occur in the film.

4. The design for my poster will be in the same
vein as the Scream Poster where it is mostly
made up of several of the character’s faces which
encompass a lot of the poster itself. It has almost
all of the features you would expect from a
poster, for example the titular actors within the
film are clearly visible along the top with the rest
of the poster following below. The main image
will have the villain of the piece in the centre
with the two other characters looking out to
either side of the poster with the film’s title
clearly visible below which will attract the
viewer’s attention and stick in their mind. Below
the title will be the date of release as it would be
the next information their eyes glide to find out
so they are left with the title and when they can
see it.
Layout 1

5. Layout 2
COMING SOON
This design for my poster will show
the film’s plot a lot better than the
first as it clearly shows the locations
and enemies they will encounter
within the movie. Unlike the other
one this doesn’t have the cast
members on with it only stripping
the information down to the main
key elements of a poster, for
example the film’s title, main
characters and when the film will be
releasing and available to watch. This
is much nicer as a collectable item
but it appeals to a very niche
audience who would be more
inclined to know what the film is
actually about I.e those who keep
track of the film’s production.
