Pat lesson #1

Wednesday, 18th September 2013 


In todays lesson we had to develop some ideas about romantic movies in which  2 lovers are apart for some reason...

My partner was Rory and we came up with the following idea of...

Long Distance

Long Distance is about two people who meet on holiday and fall in love, they live 1000's of miles apart on different sides of the world. The film is about their struggles and problems while trying to find a way to live together despite the long distance relationship. With close family and friends at each end of the world deciding who should make the move leads to more problems than they could have ever expected.

Next we had create a similar story but this time its was to be based around the saying "a fish out of water..."

Long Distance 2 

Fish out of water

In the sequel to Long Distance, the male lead character has moved to England to live with his new fiancé. Her family are really upper class but as you might expect he isn't. He doesn't fit in with her family at all. So in this film our male lead character is very much a "fish out of water".

After the break we had to think of movies that are pretty much the same as our ideas but different and to look at their movie posters and compare them.

So we looked at these movies  "The Other End of the Line" and "Atonement" which are both very simmer to our movie ideas where both characters are in love but they can't live together because they live in different places.






Above you can see the poster from the two films we looked at and my attempt at designing a movie poster for my "Long Distance" movie idea. Just like the other two posters it has been split across the middle with the film title and you can see the characters locations in the background, I thought this worked better than a picture of the lead characters as it set the scene but leaves a mystery.

  1. Hi Ashley

    This is a great poster; a really strong effort.

    Is the work from the other sessions (scriptwriting, etc) still to be uploaded?

    Cheers,
    Pat
