Audience and Genre Theory

Talent Sourcing

When making the transition from AS to A2, we knew we had to think more carefully about who we cast. We wanted to make sure we cast people with skill in acting so that the performances were convincing. 

We cast Jack Burns as the role of Archie, as we felt he had a look that would make the audience warm to him, and that also made him look more vulnerable than the antagonist, Robbie. Jack studies Drama at A Level, so we knew he had acting experience.  

We cast one of our own group members, Jordan Winter, as she had a very convincing performance, as she was able to portray both a girl hopelessly in love, and was also convincing in showing her distress during the breakdown sequence. 

Location Scouting

We are aiming to create a very rural feel to our film trailer, so the locations we use are extremely important. To gain some research I went out and had a look around my local area and found a footpath separating two fields. The open and vast view that can be seen from the path could work extremely well for our film.

My Black Swan Poster

I was inspired by the four 'art deco' style posters I found and created this simple, minimilistic poster on Pixlr. 

Black Swan Poster Research

This is the poster for Black Swan that was used most frequently in the build up to its release. I think that it is effective as it is clear about the ballet theme of the film, but the red eyes make it clear that there is something quite sinister about the film.

However, I also stumbled across these posters for the film which really captured my attention. The 'art deco' style of them shows a complexity in the image, and requires the viewer to look deeper into the picture to discover the depths of it.
