Final Love Note Trailer and Preliminary Products

This is my final version of the Love Note trailer.

This is my final magazine front cover and poster.

Organising and Research of New Instrumental music

It took some time to find an original piece of music to suit the the trailer. I went on Jamendo and I came across a piece called 'Feel Good Acoustic Ukulele' by Akashic Records.

I thought this song suits the lively, quirky and sweet elements to the trailer and is very upbeat too.

Drafting Love Note Trailer

This is my Love Note trailer, close to completion. Next I must consider and research new background music which is original and not copy righted.

Organising clips: Outtakes

These are the clips that I didn't include into the final trailer. Whether because they would disrupt the follow of the story, the length of the trailer or that they were irrelevant.

Part 2:

Here's one scene that includes clips I haven't used in the final trailer. This is where Carla first meets Estabon.

Drafting and Planning Love Note Poster and Magazine Cover changes

After taking the photo's, I followed my plan to slice each photo and layer them on top of one another so to separate each time period.

Inspired by the poster for Silver Linings Playbook, instead of the poster being in colour I changed it to grey scale. I found that the coloured version was very distracting and difficult to add extra information whilst making it legible. 

So the black and white reflects on the idea of right and wrong (how the notebook can be used for selfless and selfish reasons), it keeps the poster consistent but the clothes make the distinction of the time period and it give another more mysterious side to the story. 

Due to this colour change it also changes the target audience slightly; making it less of a young, childish, teenage school rom-com into a whimsical, mature and unique film which may attract an older target audience.

Here is the final version of the Love Note film poster.

The poster is no longer completely grey scale as the hands (and notebook) are kept to their natural colours. This is done so to draw attention to what the hands are signifying. In this case they are expressing love:

• The first picture has the girl fiddling with her hair in a flirtatious way.
• The second has the boy placing his hand on his heart which signifies love for others, or in the time period, for his country.
• The third has the girl lightly fiddling with her bracelet demonstrating a shyer, subtle side to love.
• And the forth image highlights the significant object of the story which is the notebook. Placing the notebook with the other signals of love makes writing in this book an act of love in itself. The type of love- whether it's selfish or selfless- is down to the audience.

The Love Note logo now has a brown border which contrasts well with the notebooks colours and keeps a natural, light feel to the poster with the support of the pastel pink. I used pink instead of red because the story is not a serious love story, it's very light hearted and quirky which doesn't quite highlight the dangers of love.

I also made links with each section in the poster such as the pen touches both the forth and the third image, and the hair touches the first and the second image. This connects each section, each time zone as they all have something in common and that is the notebook.

The bottom of the poster has the credits and social network sites which keeps the modern image and the young target audience the film attracts.

This is the final version of my Empire magazine.

I made various changes including extra cover lines, a pug featuring extra content in the magazine and re-wording some of the cover lines.

Drafting Love Note Trailer: Improvements and Using Adobe Premier

Some of the elements to the trailer proved effective due to what Premier had to offer, for example:

Overlaying images with the scenes and rearranging the images so to result in an animated effect.

Using text and images to emphasise emotions or information. I was inspired to do this from the trailer Scott Pilgrim VS The World which used animation and graphics. It also helped build the trailer's quirky genre and target audience.

Rearranging sound effects so to provide an distinctive effect, in this case I merged various voices saying "I love you" which provided a spooky and strange atmosphere when hearing it.

I presented this version of the trailer for improvements and so far I need to rearrange some of the 'punctuation', remove the introduction and other scenes and improve the sound arrangements.

Some of these changes are made due to the trailers narrative as it didn't flow very well. So hopefully after these changes the story line will be a lot clearer and obvious to the viewer.

Love Note Poster Photoshoot Organisation

When planning the photo shoot, I intended to find places with blank backgrounds so to emphasize the people involved in the poster.

So far the first image shows a girl with a old fashioned type blouse. Through out the poster each person should represent a type of time zone, for example, from 1910 to 2010. Because of this I want to reflect on how old the book is and the various users that fell for it's abilities. So it's less on the main character Carla, but more on the object that's changed her life.

So far I've taken two types of photos; one with the figure being still and the other with the figure providing some form of body language which reflects love. For example, a girl fiddling with her hair or someone holding their hand on their heart.

This photo will proved the chest area to the poster. The time zone is about the World War period.

Here will display the waist and the time zone is after the War. I wanted to give a loose, older, hippy look which'll then lead to the colour and vibrancy of the 1950s and 60s.

This photo will take place displaying the notebook. I wanted to give a sense of the 1960s due to the vibrant bold colours on the dress.
