ADVERTISEMENT: STORYBOARD AND FOOTAGE

Posted on by Bryxm

STORYBOARD PLAN

Admittedly, the storyboard isn’t as detailed as I would like it but this is because I accidentally misplaced the original. I chose the main images we wanted to use even though we never got chance to record all of them.

MY STORYBOARD

DUCK – I drew a picture of a duck because my plan was to possibly manipulate this with different colour tools on Photoshop. This would ideally be used for a poster which eventually I did end up using for my polygraph poster.

SWING – We needed a first person positioning for the camera, my idea was to make use of the park and record one of us swinging so just the bottom half of us was in view.

PATHWAY – We needed a panning shot, this was going to be similar to that as we wanted to record us following the pathway. I imagined the footage to be following the pathway where we could then possibly fast forward and slow down some parts to make the advertisement less basic.

LAKE – This was going to be our panning shot, because there is only greenery in the park we wanted to make sure there was some water within the advertisement. This scene did end up being a big part of our advertisement and the manipulation of this was very successful

BRIDGE -We also wanted a bridge scene of us possibly walking over the bridge, unfortunately this wasn’t as easy as we thought due to the limited amount of time and not actually finding something to could class as a bridge as what we found was very small.

Overall our footage went along with our plan very well and I am very happy with how it turned out.

SUTTON COLDFIELD PARK

To be able to create our advertisement we needed footage to put into it. So my group went to Sutton Coldfield Park and recorded and took photos. We had to think thoroughly about what we were going to record so it fitted in with the space theme. This is the footage we took;

We also recorded some footage of the scenery;

SPACE POSTER: SKETCH

Posted on by Bryxm

I created a sketch by brainstorming ideas for what my poster could be. I thought of different activities that you would do when on a regular holiday. I considered; swimming, flying, sunbathing etc, however a lot of these I had already noticed that were on the NASA space travel posters so I wanted to go for something I hadn’t come across on one of their posters.

I went for the regular ‘activity’ of pulling a suitcase. I went through the steps of a holiday on earth – Packing for the holiday, travelling, going through the airport, all the way up to getting to the hotel.

Because this was a space advert, it only made sense to have the person pulling the suitcase to be an astronaut. But I didn’t want to use the generic spaceman suit so I took my inspiration from the Scooby Doo movie, ‘Moon Monster Madness’.

SPACE SUIT INSPIRATION FROM ‘SCOOBY DOO MOON MONSTER MADNESS’

In order to complete my drawing I found an image of a man pulling a suitcase and merged these two images together to create my astronaut pulling the suitcase. And then simply drew the shape of a planet and shaded it in.

I am very happy with this drawing although I didn’t actually end up using this as part of my poster. I swayed more towards a camping style poster as glamping huts look quite futuristic. I may use this idea in the future but I doubt it.
