Final Article


THIS IS THE FINAL PRODUCT FOR MY ARTICLE,  I AGAIN TRIED TO KEEP WITHIN THE SAME THEME OF MY POSTER TO KEEP WITHIN THE GENRE OF MY FILM.

Planning Article - Script

This is the script for what I will be using in my film article for my short film latent love.


A new romantic comedy has just been brought to our attention called ‘Latent Love’. We caught
 up with the director of the short film and asked her a few questionabout her new project...
Question: So can you tell us what your film ‘Latent Love’ is all about?
 Director: Well the film is about your typical three way love trianlge
where the girl goes out with your typical ‘bad boy’ meanwhile the loyal best friend is in
 love with her but she cannot see it. However, as the loyal best friend is ringing the girl and confessing his feelings, the girl is on a date with the’bad boy’. Next there is a car crash and the girl is put in a comma. She wakes up too find the loyal best friend has been there and listens
to a voicemail from him from the night of the accident. Then the ending is which boy she chooses. (You’ll have to watch to find out!)
Question: How do you advertise your short films and make them a success and do you feel pressure from Hollywood films?
Director: It is quite hard to get short films aware due to big Hollywood films, however there
 are still alot of people who enjoy short films. Events such as film festivals like the New York Short
film festival help short films more aware and increase popularity of them. Film festivals also help with
 advertising. Also, they not only bring awareness for short filmsthey also bring awareness too short budgeted Indie films too. Eventhough Hollywood films area big part of the film industry I do not feel
 any pressure from them as they will have different audiences, therefore  the audience for short films will also be different as people have different preferences.
Question: In the future do you think short films will become more popular?
Director: Well, short films are increasingly getting more popular due to the internet and social networking sites such as Facebook and Myspace. These sites help increase awareness of the films as
friends find short films on Youtube when they are searching random things then send the link
to friends and then there friends pass it on etc, so I think as technology improves I think short films
will become more popular and more aware to people .
Question: Back to your film, as you said technology is improving did you use any technology in your film and was there any other focus’ when making the film?
Director: In the film there is a scene where the girl is looking at texts on her phone which represents a form of technlogy as in the past she may of been reading a letter.. Also a key point I used was time, I used time by using flash back to tell the story which makes the film more intresting and challenges the audience in some ways when watching the film!
Well thank you for taking the time to answer our questions and good luck for the future!

Planning Poster - Final Product


This is my final film poster, I tried to keep within a girly/romantic theme using pinks and love hearts instead of the 'O' in love. I used italic writing due to the fact I think it is quite typical in these sort of films and keeps within the genre of our film.

Planning -article

This the idea of my article and how I will set it out.

I am going to put a large photograph at the side then the text on the rest of the space with 5star ratings and a large title at the top keeping within the theme and genre of my film.
