Orignal Poster

I consulted my target audience about which poster in their opinion is the most effective in a form of a poll on my blog and I decided to go with their answer that original black & white poster should be my final product.

The Brief

A short film in its entirety, lasting approximately five minutes, which may be live action or animated or a combination of both, together with two of the following options:
-a poster for the film
-a film magazine review page featuring the film.

Inspiration

For a long time I and my partner were unable to come up with a viable idea, we would jump from one genre to another, never agreeing on what it should be about. Our deadline for deciding the main storyline was near and so were close to giving up on creating a short film and maybe changing to print based task instead. That was until I went home the same day and thought about what was Kent, where we live known for. All I could think about was the beach, so I looked out the window to the beach and it hit me how many amusement arcades there are around on the main road out of Margate. I wrote to Sammy telling her of the whole idea and she was so taken back with how obvious our solution was that we begin research deeper into our theme. Hangover was one of the films which popped up on the radar as well as Ocean's Eleven, both comedies which were made into trilogies. I never thought Hangover will be the basis of our short film but after thinking about it and discussing it with my partner we were set to take inspiration from it. We decided to watch it and see how it could be made on a minimal budget. From that point on we started our hunt for location.
