During your lessons in school you will be researching the three main types of film poster (Teaser, Main/Final & Character) and creating a Teaser poster and a Main/Final poster. For your homework, you will be planning, shooting and editing a Character poster. In order to ensure that you take the best photographs, you need to plan exactly what you will do on your shoot and have an idea of how you will edit your photos to create your Character poster.
To be successful when creating your character poster you need to include the relevant elements: - An eye-catching and creative main image which shows one main character from the movie - Include the name of the actor/character - A tagline, either for the movie as a whole or for the character - The date the movie is released
Task 1: Create a single slide on PowerPoint or Google Slides with the title '(name of your film) Teaser Shoot Plan'.
You can also create your plan straight onto your site if you would prefer. Make notes and add pictures to inspire you. You may use the sentence starters/help sheets below or download the template that I have created and add your own information into it.

Amber/ Red Ensure that you have included the information in the green task, but also add extra information about: - Camera settings - Compositional guidelines You might use the template I have attached above or you might like to create your own mind map/list of bullet points for your shoot plan. You get extra marks for including sketches of how you would like your photographs to look (it doesn't matter how good they are), so consider drawing sketches of how your photos might look, photographing them and inserting them as 'images' on your site, as well. Take a look at the handouts and examples of plans below to help you.
Task 2: Upload your photoshoot plan onto your site under the title '(name of your film) Character Poster Shoot Plan'. Remember to 'share' your Google Slide so that I can see your work.
