Costume and Location planning
The document discusses costume planning for characters in a Christmas-themed comedy trailer for young children. Hannah and Leanne's characters will dress as a Christmas tree and present, respectively, in some scenes. Their other costumes will be simple outfits. Nimisha will dress as an elf and have other costumes. Rosie's less important role requires dressing as a Christmas cracker. The characters will have multiple costume changes.
Question 2
The document discusses how effective a filmmaker's ancillary tasks of a film poster and review were at promoting their short film. The filmmaker used dramatic images that didn't reveal too much of the plot but conveyed the film's drama genre and melancholy tone. Both the poster and review used a bold red font, black and grey color scheme, and school setting background to represent the protagonist's distress and the film's dark mood. The filmmaker aimed to engage the target audience and leave them wanting to know more without explaining the full plot.
Embrace Your Unsexy
Life can be hard - especially if you set an impossibly high bar of perfection for yourself. In this talk I gave to some incredible Canadian leaders I wanted to emphasize the need for us to embrace the unsexy feelings of self-doubt and impostor syndrome so we can "reclaim our swagger" sooner and maximize our potential output.

Our Madness Font Research
A group conducted research to find a unique font for the cover of their magazine called MADNESS. They selected 6 fonts and had a group of 40 people vote on their preference. The majority voted for the fourth font listed, called Reprise Chords, as it had randomly sized letters that gave it a twist. The second font, Kristen ITC, was also popular but Reprise Chords was chosen as the font for the magazine cover.
Setting
This document outlines three scenes from Lucy's house - a kitchen scene where the character Charlotte makes toast, a bathroom scene where Charlotte gets ready, and a dining room scene where Charlotte revises at the table and a piano is also included in the shot.

The document describes creating a poster showing two characters by cutting their faces in half from separate pictures in Photoshop and combining the halves to form a new composite face. Photos were taken of the actor playing one of the characters, "Michael", to use in making the poster.

- 1. This film poster shows clearly the main characters, these characters personalities are shown clearly through their stance and facial expressions, this would be a good idea on our poster because the characters are so contrasting.
