Production of the Print Component

    Using the research that I have compiled on my previous blog, I have begun the print component, the movie posters. Plural due to the fact that my distribution plan entails a streaming release.

    During the first day of filming, I took various photos in preparation for the print component. This part was particularly difficult as I had my younger brother taking the photos for me. I had to guide him quite a bit to get the framing how I wanted, but I eventually got what I wanted. 

    I started with the first poster that is detailed below. I knew that I wanted to make my face look like it was cracking, in order to convey the porcelain doll image that my film centers around, so I looked in the elements and was able to find the ones that I added to the forehead and cheek. I trimmed them down to size because they were large at first, and I feel that my vision was executed well. 

    Due to the fact that I used a font from Canva called Pinyon Script, the font was not available on Adobe Express, so I looked up the name of the font on Google fonts and from there I  inputted it into Adobe Express. This was definitely a tedious process as I wasn't sure how to add a font to the app, but after a few quick Google searches, I was able to input the font. I made the font as large as possible to fit the page and arrived at the color white for maximum readability. I then added the date of release in the bottom right corner. The decision on June 3 was guided by research on the best dates to release the genre on streaming platforms. In addition, I added the Netflix logo by looking up a png on Google. I wanted it white to create a cohesive typography color. 

    For the second poster, I added the same 'Porcelain" title at the top due to the framing of the image. I wanted to keep the 'June 3 Netflix' on the bottom right to correspond to the last poster, but I had to change the color to black to enhance the readability against the lighter background colors on this poster.
