Final Soundtrack

Amanda Kaletsky - Say you Believe
Amanda Kaletsky “Amanda Kaletsky has the voice of a pop star, but the soul of a singer/songwriter. Her infectious [music] finds a middle ground between New York’s homey downtown clubs and the polish of Top 40 radio.” – Relix Magazine

Amanda recently released her third full-length album, “Without You,” and continues to perform at a variety of venues in the Northeast. She also sings the National Anthem regularly for the New York Islanders and at other professional sporting events.


When deciding what song to use we considered how close the song is to the attributes we desired for our soundtrack. these were:

  • A female singer
  • to be in the pop genre
  • to have some relation to love and relationship
  • for the artist to be unsigned
  • to have a 'chick flick' feel to it
  • to tell a story
  • to make the audience emotionally connected to the characters

This song ticked all of these boxes and as a group we agreed it was perfect for our trailer.




Creating Poster Ideas




I created this poster idea via Adobe Photoshop Elements 9, I found it fairly easy and quick to design.
 
I firstly needed to find a background that ties in with the theme of our trailer. I found this by searching for silhouette backgrounds on Google Images. the reason I chose to search for silhouette backgrounds is simply because the people in the image do not have to look like our main characters. I chose the image above because it is romantic and it fits in with the theme of our trailer.

Bake off Poster


This is one of our ideas of the posters that we aimed at on trying to promote the film trailer.

Film Title Options



These are different ideas for the title of our film, they were all created via dafont.com



As you can see there is a large variety to choose from, now as a group we will decide which one best suits our film.

After finding my image I then imported it into Photoshop and added the title Piece of Cake and also added the words Coming Soon to make it obvious that it is a poster.


This is the final image of the poster idea, it is simple but I believe this is not necessarily a bad thing because most films make their posters in the same way.
