Overview
We have roughly two and a half weeks left. My editing for the teaser is mainly finished and my magazine cover is finished. I have started my poster cover but I had a problem during it I didn't do it in an A3 size in photoshop therefore I have to do it again, which is a bit of a pain, overall I am planning on finishing my teaser trailer by hopefully next week so I can concentrate on my poster and magazine cover.

Voice Over Dialogue
-This is Jay
-And this is Sara
-He is cool
-But she is fresh
-Jay has his life sorted with Jasmine
-Unfortunately his mum too has his life sorted
-From the award winning director of Chutney Mix, comes another comedy
-This time about making choices
-East Meets West
The voice over is going to be done by Tariq mainly because he has an English accent that would appeal to the target market.

some ideas for poster
Below are some ideas for my poster:
I like this image however I think its too typical for a romantic comedy therefore I won't be able to distinguish it from other films. However I was thinking maybe I could have iconography from London and India in the background to show the clash between cultures or like the 'East is East' poster I could just have a plain white background with families in the background and Immad's girlfriend in the background. I could edit it in photoshop.
I like the image above because Huma is holding a wooden spoon to show the domestic housewife role whereas Immad is holding an ipod to show the role of a typical asian boy. The image hints at the narrative, if I was to use this image then again I would add iconography in the background and in the middle write 'East Meets West' maybe in pink and blue to match what they are wearing.
I could have the picture of both the girls with the male lead to hint at the drama that may occur in the film. However I think than there will be too much happening in the poster and there wouldn't be a main central focus.
I like the idea of two guys fighting for one guy which is demonstrated in this picture. I would do this picture again but I like the fact that they are all looking at the audience, this way the audience is able to connect with them and the satorial code again shows some of the narrative and you can tell that there will be some culture clash. I think Immad looks too squashed therefore I would have to do this picture again if I chose it.

Although I have some ideas for my poster I think I will begin the poster possibly next week so I have this week to get my idea straight.
font
The font for my teaser trailer will be in english but with an indian feel to hint at the narrative. I have given an example below.
Haven't written in here...
Last week has been very busy due to my english coursework deadline. Therefore I havn't been able to do as much. However last sunday I took some of my shots, and now there is mainly editing left to do which I will begin the following week. I have also begun making my magazine front cover and I have taken some pictures for my poster during the next several weeks my aim is going to be mainly focusing on the editing of my teaser trailer and take my pictures for the poster and finish of my magazine cover.

Magazine Cover-Beginning
Today I took several shots of my magazine cover. Mr.Meed and Mr.Bevin both helped a lot with the equipment. I thought of only having Huma my main lead protagonist in the magazine cover because the magazine I am producing would be something similar to Vogue or Grazia. The readers of the magazine would be quite mature and would be looking for fashion icons therefore I wanted a picture of Huma that could be interpreted as a sexy independant women yet on the other hand I wanted that same picture to promote my film aswell. I tried several shots below are some examples.
Although I like the image above I think the style is too retro. I was going for a magazine cover for autumn/winter collection therefore having a jacket on helped and it did stand out against the white background however the makeup didn't go too well and the t-shirt inside makes it look less glamourous.
The white jacket looks better because it makes Huma look more proffesional and although it clashes against the white background the image can be altered in photoshop. I think it is better for Huma to be smiling then to give a sexy appeal because her smile is able to capture her character from the teaser trailer and thus is able to promote the film aswell as herself.
Having a longshot of Huma wasn't the best choice. I got the idea of having a longshot photo from Grazia and Victoria Beckham, however in this sense it's not particularly appealing because it promotes the jacket rather than Huma or the film. It looks as if its more a poster than a magazin cover therefore I dont think the audience would concentrate on Huma's face but on her body and clothes.
I think that once again this picture is good however it portrays Huma as too sexy and doesn't show the fun side of the film teaser therefore it doesn't promote the romantic comedy but instead promotes a film that would be a romantic drama therefore I don't think I would choose this image for my final magazine cover.
I like this image because it concentrates on Huma's face but and gives me plenty of room to write the captions and have the magazine's name however it does look like Huma is posing for a catalogue instead.
I think this is one of the best image because it portrays Huma as not only an independant working women but it also appeals to the sexy fun side. I think the fact that she is covering her neck shows her proffesional lifestyle. The pink lipstick looks good against the white background. If I use this image then I am going to use the pink as a possible font colour
