Digital Strategy

I created a small poster which will help our target audience in some way relate to our trailer.

The poster is related to our film because it to do with taking drugs. I've decided to create awareness poster showing our target audience how drugs can kill and how many people die from drug abuse in the UK.  I then added the slogan from our film. The poster does not give much information from where the poster is from but by the target audience seeing the slogan 'once you start. you can't stop.' they will instantly recognise it from our trailer. I then added 'the talk to frank' information as it is also used in the trailer. The poster is quite plain and dark but the white text stands out from the background .

Official Poster for Class A (2013)

This is the official poster for our trailer. A few changes have been made to the poster for example, making some of the background in black and white. This made the sihloutes stand our from everything else. The text of the release date has also be made to fit in with the red part of the background also making it stand out from the white text. I've decided to post this on valentines day because the release date for our trailer will be on Valentine's Day. Our trailer is focuses on a relationship between a young couple and the battle between drugs, so we though it would perfect to market young couples and specifically on Valentines Day.

Song Licensing

Thank you to Ed Sheeran and Sony/ATV for licensing 'The A Team' song for our trailer. As well as to Mr Rosen for all your hard work to get this license.

Horror Magazine Poster

Finally finished creating the Horror magazine cover promoting our trailer!

Editing

During these few weeks me anf my group have taken turns to edit our trailer on iMovie and this has been a difficult task because it was my furst time using iMovue for editing, and editing is the most important part when creating our trailer so this was make or break for us as a team. I tried out various effects, cuts and edits on our shots to try and find the best technique and best look we could make to produce a professional looking trailer that demonstrates our technical ability which making the assumption that student's created this.

Below are some screen shots of the editing process!
