Film Production - Poster

Attached is my poster for my modern retelling of the classic romantic dance film Dirty Dancing. The inspiration for this poster came from original artwork by "Chungkong Art", an artist from the Netherlands. Inspired by his work, I chose to recolour his original art in varying hues of pink to really tie into the female target audience. Traditionally, pink is a colour associated with both femininity and love, and so by doing this I have also emphasised the film's genre. I like this particular art as it's minimalistic. This style is not only modern - thus becoming eye-catching to an audience of young adults - but it is concise. I have named my two leading actors just below the title of my film so that a bigger audience will be drawn in. Fans of Ballas and Irwin will be more inclined to see the film so as to watch them acting. I have chosen these actors as they have both been a part of the popular American dancing programme called Dancing With The Stars. Ballas is one of the show's professional dancers, and is also an actor. Irwin is best known because of her father, a popular Australian zookeeper and conservationist who died tragically at 44 years old after suffering a sting ray injury to the heart.

By using two celebrities with experience of both being on television and dancing, I am creating a more authentic experience for the viewer as there will be no need for any stunt/dancing doubles.

The tag line for this poster is the same as the one used for the original Dirty Dancing film poster. I wanted to keep some of the film's originality so as to draw in fans of the 1987 classic.

My film is classed as a 12 due to some scenes containing mild sexual actions, references to drug abuse and infrequent bad language.

I would say that I'm a rather creative person above all else; I enjoy music and writing, as well as the occasional poorly-drawn sketch here and there. I have attempted to write several novels, though I have never managed to make it to the end of them as I tend to find myself either losing confidence in the plot or becoming distracted by other projects. I do, however, write poetry and self-publish them of the story-sharing platform Wattpad. A few years ago I entered a local competition through my school which resulted in one of my short stories being published in an anthology, which to this day I consider to be one of my proudest achievements. Technically speaking, I can call myself an author. I have also taught myself how to play the u

Sample Article - The Hunger Games Franchise

This is a sample article to demonstrate the type of content that will appear in my action film magazine titled 'Spotlight'. - The Hunger Games film franchise broke box office records and made large amounts of money across the globe. Three years later, it is still one of the most popular franchises in the world. The four-film adaptation of Suzanne Collins' trilogy has made just under three billion dollars in total, with the highest ranking instalment being Catching Fire. Released in late 2013, the film follows Katniss Everdeen - portrayed by Jennifer Lawrence - as she embarks on a tour of the districts of Panem succeeding her victory in the 74th Hunger Games with her district partner, Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson). It is during this tour that we discover the extent of Katniss' effect on the rest of the country, and she starts to work out the fact that an uprising is brewing. Shortly after the conclusion of her expedition, the series' famous protagonist discov

The Appeal of Film Magazine Covers

The cover of film magazines tend to be a little busier than those of magazines from any other genre. Perhaps this is because they aim to highlight the explosive nature of hit new action films or due to the excitement of a cinematic masterpiece. They usually feature a leading character from the newest releases in front of an interesting background - often some sort of explosion. By featuring a celebrity in character on the cover page, fans are more likely to purchase the product, thus making it more successful. The name of magazines usually falls behind the head of whoever is on the cover as it is often the celebrity, not the actual magazine itself, that sells the product. Text on the cover must stand out so as to allow readers to know what content can be found inside, but shouldn't take away from the cover image. Colour schemes play a key part in this as they ensure that the magazine has a polished and professional finish. Cover pages also tend to use lots of positive adjectives an
