Favourite Song Of The Week
Sky Ferreira - Everything Is Embarrassing
Lyrics:
(I know you're trying)
Everything and nothing always haunts me
I know you're trying, I know you're trying
Waiting for your moment to fall on me
I saw you trying, I saw you trying
Maybe if you let me be your lover
Maybe if you tried then I would not bother
Telling me that basically you're not looking out for me
Everything is true to me, never words where you would see
Maybe if you let me be your lover
Maybe if you tried then I would not bother
(I know you're trying)
(I know you're trying)
Hurts so bad, I don't know what you want from me
You know I'm trying, You know I'm trying
And now we're hanging on by a heartbeat
You know I'm trying, I was always trying
Maybe if you let me be your lover
Maybe if you try then I would not bother
Telling me that basically you're not looking out for me
Everything is true to me, never words where you would see
Maybe if you let me be your lover
Maybe if you try then I would not bother
I've been hating everything, everything that could have been
Could have been my anything, now everything's embarrassing
Acting like it's nothing; such a bore
I saw the truth and I just can't ignore
You're trying to hold the heart that can't be stored
Say I tried to give my best before
You wouldn't have the chance to give me more
You're only one step closer to the door
Maybe if you let me be your lover
Maybe if you tried then I would not bother
Telling me that basically you're not looking out for me
Everything is true to me, never words where you would see
Maybe if you let me be your lover
Maybe if you tried then I would not bother
I've been hating everything, everything that could have been
Could have been my anything, now everything's embarrassing
Maybe if you let me be your lover
Maybe if you tried then I would not bother
Telling me that basically you're not looking out for me
Everything is true to me, never words where you would see
Maybe if you let me be your lover
Maybe if you tried then I would not bother
I've been hating everything, everything that could have been
Could have been my anything, now everything's embarrassing

Draft/Final Poster Evaluation
How have you used the conventions of existing film posters in your draft design?
I interpreted the idea of the close up pale face from The Silence Of The Lambs, spread up across the poster, with coloured eyes to add the mystery effect towards the character. Also from this poster I took advantage of the colour scheme as it was fairly similar colours to mine. The Silence Of The Lambs shows a character with red eyes, I took this idea and made my character have yellow eyes to show that there was something unnatural about the character. Also with the colour scheme of the text, the title on The Silence Of The Lambs is in orange, this makes it stand out from the more dull colours that are on the poster and I took this and made my text yellow, I also did this because I felt it connected well with the characters eyes. I also based it on this Lana Del Rey picture with the rose and the blood http://cdn.mamamia.com.au/wp-content/gallery/lana-del-rey/lanadelreypng.png
With my guys version of the poster, I have done the exact same thing, apart from change the colour scheme to black, white and red to make it more masculine compared to the yellow colour on the female version.
How does your film poster satisfy the action/ fantasy/ teen genre requirements?
My film poster satisfies the action/fantasy/teen genre requirements in the following ways:
How successful do you think your draft is? Give reasons for your answer.
I feel that my draft is successful as I came out with 4 different interpretations of the poster by only using two different images. Also I feel that I did pretty well with the colour scheme of it all, I placed things carefully in certain areas of the poster, for example: the movie production companies logos were deliberately placed in the bottom right hand corner because that's where they are commonly seen in real movie posters. Also I feel that I came out with very successful images that show the character as a true vampire that would be seen in a real movie with proper editing done to the face and body. I also made sure to include very important features like the date of when the film actually comes out, who is in the film (important actors/actresses), who is the director of the film e.t.c.
What do you think you will need to change for your final piece of work? (Girls and Guy versions)
I think that in my proper movie poster I will need to change the size of certain parts of the text for example with the actors names, also I need to think more carefully about spacing things out that go over the top of the image itself.
What skills have you learned in the design process?
I've learnt how to successfully turn an image from a common teenage girl, to a full on vampire looking female. I've also learnt how to place in transparent images to overlay the poster and fit them into certain sections of the poster.

How does your film poster satisfy the action/ fantasy/ teen genre requirements?
My film poster satisfies the action/fantasy/teen genre requirements in the following ways:
- Teenage character on the front of the poster itself/stereotypical rose that is always displayed through a vampire styled movie
- Pale face, coloured eyes, fangs, every sign of a stereotypical vampire which fits the fantasy teen theme especially
- Movie title "Rise Of The Dead" shows a sign of a dead character that has come back to life, all the signs of a made up story that can only be interpreted through fantasy
- The vampire is shown through a dead rose, blood, fangs, unnatural coloured eyes, old fashioned clothes e.t.c.
