Title screens

For the titles, I decided I'd have a kind of stop motion of photos of the object the film as the opening, so into that, I'd incorporate some title screens into it, printed out version, because many short films have titles in the style of the film (The earlier 'Traffic Warden' post, for example). Although, I got this idea from the TV series Miranda's openning titles, though abviously they will be different to mine as this is a sitcom series, not a short film, and so the TV series titles will be more of a motif to tell the audience that the programme is starting, rather than an opening. However, I will use this as a kind of inspiration. Due to copyright and availability and all that jazz, I can't add a link like I want to.

'Missing' poster Ideas

As the film will be called 'Missing' I thought the poster could be a missing poster (Like the ones that will be used in the film) Because I don't have those made yet, here are some examples of the simple 'Lost' poster I wanted.

Poster plans

I created a few posters, each with something different, such as a logo or a completely different design.

This version has tear-offs along the bottom, as it's unconventional to have so much white space on a poster, I tried to fill space, so I moved the writing and logos and added in tags which read 'MISSING - www.rosie-is-missing.co.uk'.  

 This makes them seem more like the american style 'lost' posters I found. I didn't think this worked, as the tear-off tags aren't commonly seen in Britain, and would look out of place.

I really like this version, as it's simple, looks like a mssing poster (though the logos make it obvious that it's a film poster). I also like the fact it breaks conventions by having lots of blank white space, as this reflects the storyline of the film, (it's unconventional for an 18 year old to hand out missing posters for a doll).

 This is my least favourite version, as it doesn't fit the style of the film. I tried to fit with other film posters, using one photo to fill the whole poster, and overlaying the writing. Though due to the quality and size of the photo, it looked really unprofessional.

Music

 As a silent(-ish) film I'll need some music to go over the film. Rob has written 2 pieces of music for me to use, I'll use one for the credits (both opening and closing titles) and one for the film itself.
 I can't get the music to fit the film until filming and editing is finished, so I can see how long each piece of music needs to be, and when the pace changes, to make sure the music fits the pace of the film all the way through.
