Poster Merchandise
Similar to many other films, our film 'Odyne' contains more than one main character. This allows the group to be more creative with poster designs. As our main characters are very versatile we can create more than one poster to advertise the film. These are two more examples of posters that can be used for merchandise and marketing. Although they are the same image they are very different, this is through the gradient colour in the top right hand corner of the first poster, and the central text in the second.

Iago Poster
This is the poster I created for our antagonist Iago. I used my previous research as a guide in making this and feel that it is convincing in terms of creating a real film poster.
Empire Magazine Covers
As is not uncommon with real Empire Covers, I created three different covers, a regular cover and two collector's editions.

Script for Voiceover
Odyne's voiceover during the opening of the trailer
“Many years ago my family and I
lived in the country. I loved the house we lived in. I loved my life. Little
did I know my brother would become the monster this world would fear and the
target of my deepest hate. This is how it happened.”
-
(Whilst
the long shots of the house and the kids running towards the swimming pool are
shown – could possibly also be as the shot dissolves into the long shot of the
main character beginning to run around the swimming pool)
“My brother and I were so close when we were younger but he started to
act strange. He began to create a divide between us. We went to the pool one
day and Iago was annoyed at me for teasing him about his fear of water.
-
(Voice
over the long shot of Odyne running down the poolside and preparing to dive)
“I wanted; so desperately, to show him my perfect dive but of course
he shoved me before I could. I remember so clearly the overwhelming feeling of
betrayal and fear as I drowned. I knew it was him, the shock on his face, the
out stretched hands and the mountains of water taking over. All he did was run.”
-
(Over the top
of the shots of Iago pushing Odyne into the pool and as she begins to struggle,
also when shot changes to POV of Iago looking at hands. As Iago runs away).
“This was the first I knew of
our super powers. It was the first I had seen my brother for who he truly was. It
was the thing that changed me and some may say not for the good.”
-
(During close
up of Odyne as she wakes up and looks around then dissolves into a mid shot of
her older putting on her mask).

Opening Scene Changes
As was mentioned in the previous post, several changes had to be made to the shot list and shooting script for the opening scene. For shooting purposes, Odyne and Iago are referred to as 'the boy' and 'the girl'. Here are the changes that we had to make.

Updates - Change to the shot list
When the day of filming came for the opening scene of our trailer, the lead male character was severely ill and couldnt attend filming. As this was the only day we were able to book the swimming pool for the scene we had to adapt the scene accordingly to ensure the opening scene was believable and simple for the audience to understand. We discussed the changes as a group and decided to use close up shots of the main female character around the swimming pool area and to maintain the point of view and mid shot of the same character when drowning in the pool. To ensure the audience understand the opening scene we will have a voiceover from the female character, Odyne, explaining the incident in which she believes her brother attempted to kill her and left her to die. This will then ensure the audience sympathise with Odyne creating an instant dislike to the brother Iago. This interference with the shot list and filming day is difficult and could have delayed more filming but the group made a good plan and coped well under pressure. Changing the shot list wasn't ideal but it ensured the filming schedule remained on target.

Updates - Casting
Due to the difficulties in casting children/young teenagers to act as Odyne and Iago during their childhood years we decided to adapt the film accordingly. This is the cause for the update, to ensure we keep track of any changes made to any section of the film. As the swimming pool booked for the filming of the swimming pool scenes was concerned about the timing of the filming we decided it would be easier and more convenient to keep the same actors who play the main characters, to play their younger selves. This will ensure the audience understand the connection between the scenes in the trailer. We will adapt the mise-en-scene to allow the audience verisimilitude in the film. The female actor playing Odyne will have two pony tails, each side of her head, this will ensure a youthful image and will relate to the image of younger children at this time. The male actor playing Iago will have spiked hair held by gel. This childlike 90's image will make sure the character looks younger than when he is seen later on in the trailer; when he has become a successful adult. The actors will have to perform realistically and will have to ensure they make the scene believable by acting childishly; running along poolside screaming and acting playfully.
The change in scheme isn't ideal for the story line we were attempting to portray in the film, however, using the same actors will ensure realism. It will also take some pressure off the group as the actors are all willing to act at the swimming pool, so we do not have to cast another couple of young actors.

Theme Park Rides
As well as production companies distributing products from the film they have recently released, they are also now allowing for the production of rides in famous theme parks around the world. In Disneyland; Florida or Paris, there are rides made based on the Disney films created over the years, for example, there is a 'Finding Nemo' adventure ride for smaller children to explore after seeing the adventurous movie. There is also an Indiana Jones adventure for the older visitors at the park.
In the Universal Park in Florida, there is a separate section of the theme park based solely on the Comic Book films created by Universal. In this area, Spiderman, Hulk, X-Men and more are advertised through the theme park rides created and based on these stories. The Spiderman ride is an interactive ride allowing the visitors access to the adventurous life of the hero and the battle he faces from his villains.
These theme parks allow for constant advertisements of the films created by Disney and Universal. This is not the most cheap way of advertising however, it is continuous and allows for international viewing, meaning the audience for the films is increased by size.

Location Planning
When choosing the locations we were planning on filming at, it was important to be realistic with our choices. However, we didn't want to be dull or ordinary so allowed much thought on this planning stage. One of the locations we decided was a pool for the opening scene of the trailer; in which a young Odyne and Iago play fight, but Iago nearly drowns Odyne in their family swimming pool. In order to ensure this scene was able to be filmed, we needed to plan ahead to book a swimming pool to film at. This was hard as many swimming pools do not allow cameras into the swimming pool area, as well as many pools being a members only center. Luckily, a school in Wickford, named Castledon School, is allowing the group to film at their school swimming pool during hours in which the pool is unused. Myself and the school swimming teacher exchanged several emails to prepare days for filming when the pool was available. This means we have a small schedule to film the scene in, but we are more likely to get the work done. I work as a lifeguard and therefore will be ensuring safety in and around the swimming pool area when filming. We are grateful for the opportunity the school has given the group as it was a hard location to find, and we intend on creating interesting and thought provoking shots using the location.
