In this presentation, I will be comparing the first draft against the final product for my
film posters (portrait and landscape version) and my magazine article.

FILM POSTER
COMPARISON
FIRST DRAFT
FINAL POSTER
For my final products, I created a short film, film
poster(s) and a magazine article review. Once I
finished creating and editing my short film, I started to
create my film poster. When it come to create my film
poster, I created it using Adobe Photoshop. As main
image I used my own photography. However on the
first draft version the image is not edited, so I added a
filter to the image on Adobe Lightroom and adjust any
settings on the image till I was happy with it. By the
time I was creating my first draft, I wasn’t sure of the
font I wanted to use to represent my short film.
Therefore on my first draft, I layer out everything that I
wanted to include on my final poster. However,
comparing the first drat and the final poster now, I
notice that I missed stuff on my first draft, such as:
slogan of my short film, awards, age classification and
rating stars. I did get a notice of the missing areas
when I got feedback from my first draft. After receiving
feedback, I went back and I also used a website
called ”DaFont.com” where it allowed me to download
any font that would seem appropriate for my film
poster and that would make the final film poster seem
professional. I went to the limit of only using three font
in total, so this way it wouldn't confuse the target
audience once they look at my final film poster.
Having the film of the title in big also makes it clear to
what Is the title and what is the slogan on my final film
poster.

3. FINAL FILM POSTER
LANDSCAPE VERSION
I captured this image while I was on holiday in
Portugal and at the same time shooting my
short film, in the summer of 2017. I took this
photograph of my cousin in one of the chosen
locations that I originally chose to shoot in.
Therefore when I was doing research onto film
posters, I only analysed portrait film posters.
However, while I was researching I found out
that there is also landscape version of film
posters. So as part of my final product, I had
also decided to create a landscape version for
my final film poster. So I can have portrait and
landscape version of my film poster. However,
when I was taking the pictures, I did not shot a
landscape photo version. So I used my skills
and created a landscape version on Photoshop.
I did not find it hard to manipulate a portrait
image into a landscape image. I did had to crop
more onto my cousin’s body and the sky as it is
shown on the image. And I had also used the
same layout and fonts from the portrait film
poster, with wider space between each text
seen on this film poster. Creating this version of
the poster, shows my how I am able to use the
software's and how I can create a high quality
and professional film poster. As a final look,
using Photoshop to edit the main image, as a
final look I don’t think it seems over edited. In
fact, I think the main image itself looks as sharp
and soft as the portrait version of the main
image. And using colour filters on Lightroom to
edit the photograph shows my skills and how I
edit my own photography.

MAGAZINE ARTICLE
COMPARISON
FIRSTDRAFT
FINAL ARTICLE
My magazine article has to be the one task that has a huge difference between
the first draft and my final product. I am pleased with all the feedback that I got
back on my first draft, which helped me to create my final magazine article.
From my first article I had decided to change the big image into one of the
photographs that I took of one of the main characters and enlarge even more. I
also decided to change one of the screenshot from the first draft into the final
magazine article and layer them differently. I have also made the headlines on
the top corners of the page smaller on each side, with a typical film magazine
font. From my first draft onto my second draft, I have also added more ratings
and comments, alongside with short film awards. I kept the same the title of my
short film, this way the audience can identify that this article is about my short
film by looking at the font of the film title. I have also decided to to give this
magazine article the own magazine masthead, under the name of “Visual
Effects Magazine”. And lastly, I also removed all the filled in text into my own
article that I wrote, with a questions and answers (q&a) next to the article that I
wrote about my short film. The final outcome is high and seems professionally
done.
