Film Festival Postcard Test Shots

Postcard number 1:

for this postcard we will be merging 2 different photos together in 2 totally different environments. 1 being in a healthy environment, most likely a canteen and the other photo will be in a unhealthy environment such as Mc Donald's or any other fast foot restaurant. we will be splitting the photos right down the middle and merge them together when both of them are eating 2 different types of food.

this first photo is of 1 of our actors (Jeppe) who is portrayed as the healthy diabetic who will be eating in the healthy environment. he will be either eating some salad or any type of fruit.


this is just a test shot of a healthy environment that we might use. we chose this because it has pictures of healthy food and the slogan for this place is 'be smart, eat healthy'.



 this is the other shot we will be using of our other actor (Abdul). Abdul will be playing the role of unhealthy diabetic, where we most likely will take this in a Mc Donald's because Mc Donald's connotes an unhealthy lifestyle. The food that Abdul will be eating will be a big burger with a lot of unhealthy toppings inside so that the audience can instantly tell that he is living an unhealthy lifestyle.

Postcard 2:

for this postcard the location we would be using for the real thing would be on Jeppe's balcony because it has an overview shot of the torch, so that the audience can tell that it is set in Qatar due to the iconic landmark of the torch. This test shot is taken in school because we didn't have time to go to Jeppe's to take a test shot from his balcony. for the final piece for this postcard it will be in black and white apart from the diabetes pen which will be in colour to emphasise the importance of the pen and how it is used.

Diabetes Contacts


We got a business card of one of the doctors that specialise in diabetes within Qatar and we will hopefully be able to interview him so he can explain the problem with diabetes in Qatar itself.



We contacted Qatar Diabetes Association to ask them if they can help with our product by interviewing Doctors, Professionals and even people that have diabetes themselves in Qatar. We thought this would be a good idea because it both helps promote QDA and also gives us more opportunities to get our message out to as many people as possible because hopefully QDA will promote our short film to patients and people involved with them.





we had to fill in permission forms with passport details and other important things in order to be allowed to film Qatar foundation.

sitemap



this is our site map for our website. The site map is used to help navigate around the website itself, making it easier for the audience to find certain information. Our site map isn't very complex compared to big industry websites because its not in the criteria to have a massive website is is mainly for presentation and computer skills.

Film Festival Postcard drafts



this is our first draft for our film festival postcard which is mainly focused on one of our actors on a balcony overlooking the torch and injecting himself with insulin. we have gone for this idea because it shows that it is set in doha by having the iconic torch present but the attention of the viewer will be fixed on the diabetes pen because we are going to have the rest of the background in black and white and then only have the pen in colour to draw attention to the pen itself. This draft was drawn by Jeppe.



this is our second idea where we have both main actors in 2 different environments to show the contrast between the 2 different types of people and what their lifestyle is like. for the left hand side we want to use a fast food restaurant to show a not so healthy lifestyle and for the right hand side we want it to be set in a healthy cafeteria showing the actor happy with his life compared to the unhealthy person. This draft was drawn by me.

Website Homepage Draft


we have 2 different templates for our website homepage which both are fairly similar such as they both will have the same colour scheme of blue and white due to that being the scheme we have chosen for the whole project. Also both of the templates will have pictures of either shots from our short film or pictures of our cast and crew.  We also added different sub headings to click on in order to find out more about the film or the background of the making of the project.
