Production Bible & Poster Creation

After having a meeting with Aiza before the deadline, we decided to put all of our work together into a separate Production Design Bible document which could later be used by our team if the opportunity arises to try and get funding for developing the film further. By having a separate production design document, we hope the visual concept and thought process behind the set dressing, wardrobe, and concept art is easier to understand for the broader audience. To create the PD Bible, I used Photoshop artboards and imported all of my and Aiza's previous work done for the project. Despite some issues with exporting and RAM running out, the bible was fairly straightforward to assemble following our tutor's checklist.

Poster Creation On the second day of shooting for our film, I was tasked with taking prop photographs of our actors as detailed in a separate blog. One of those photographs caught the attention of the crew and was suggested to be used as the poster image for our film. Upon beginning the creation of the production bible and creating its cover, I also decided to attempt to create a poster using the image chosen by the directors. Firstly, I put together a series of fonts that may work to convey different genres and meanings of the plot and asked Anastasija to select whichever she sees as the most appropriate for the PD Bible and the film poster. The font chosen by Anastasija was Neue Haas Grotesk Display Pro - Ultra Thin - her reasoning being its simplicity.

Grading Choices

Editing the Poster Once I had the font and the image down, I played around with several gradings of the image before deciding on a final version and adding text. The results can be seen below.
