Possible music/sounds for the film

Because the film is a psychological dramas, there are many sounds in which we can use for this film. These are a few we may use as they reflect the mood that something is not right.

Dark Ambience - Lonely Caverns

I feel this music would work effectively as it contains a sense of danger and concern for the film and also a sense of unpredictability in the film. In order for it to work in a effective way, I feel this should be played over the crane shot when David walks down the street before we see the pause sign to reveal that David is a virtual game character. Whilst we understand that we don't want to give the whole film away, we do want to hint that something is creepy and wrong making David's world not "normal".

Old Piano Drama Theme

I feel this could also work effectively within the film as we want to give that idea of mystery for the film and intrigue to our characters. By using this music then we could also help give the intrigue and sympathy to David as a character and make the audience understand why the world he lives in isn't as normal as he thinks it is.

My rough Photoshop Film Poster

Radio Trailer script

Analysis of my draft copy of the poster.

When creating the poster, there were certain things I wanted to do in hinting not only that David's world isn't real and the twist of the film as well as using marketing strategies that conglomerates and independent companies would use.

The Slogan

The slogan was something I wanted to hint as part of the poster to give the audience an idea about the genre of the film in which it is a mixture of drama, psychological Thriller and sci-fi so I felt it was right to give a sense of these genres to intrigue the audience with referencing to 'Edge of Tommorrow' with the slogan 'Sleep! Work! Repeat' to give the idea that David's world would never be different due to the fact he is a game character in a simulation game. I also felt by having folders, piece of papers and also switchboards would help give the sense of normality to the film and to sense that people shouldn't be concerned which should confuse the audience to identify what is and what isn't normal.

The main picture

Because the film is supposed to confuse and shock the audience, I felt that the main picture was something that was normal and surprising. As part of this, I decided to use the character of David in his office workspace looking blank an confused to suggest something is wrong and he doesn't know what might be wrong in his life. As part of this, I felt that with him showing a blank expression then it will intrigue the audience on what is wrong.

The Creators and Cast

Because we had to give a bit of an intrigue to the film, I felt it would be wise to use pull factors to bring our audience in with hints of what genre the film could be and what it could entitle. As part of this, I decided to use Beth and Sophie's AS film (Powerplay) as part of the poster with 'From the creators of PowerPlay' to reference that if the audience like their film then they should like this film because it is very similar to the film. I also felt that I would put the names of the actors on the table like the pull factor and decided to put 'Emma Irwin' and 'Charlotte Hutton' near the sides whilst still on the table and 'Daniel Fotheringham' in the middle to finally show who is the main character and who are the people who play a key role in our film. Whilst we understand that there is more than just those actors, because of the space of the poster I felt it would be wise to put the main characters on the poster for our audience to get an idea about what our film is about. I also felt another wise thing to do was to include the details on pieces of paper as if the writing was pieces of paper David has wrote on himself and has thrown away which could suggest that he also has low self esteem as a result of this.

The Title

For the final part of this poster, I felt this had to suggest a few parts and to give an idea that David's world might not be real as I wanted to suggest the idea that maybe his world isn't as normal as he thinks it is. I felt by doing this it could give a glitchy effect and it could not only suggest the film (being a mix of sci-fi and Psychological Drama) but it could also hint the idea of what this film might include. I felt to do this with the 'Normality' to have a glitch effect to suggest maybe his world isn't exactly what people think it is.
