Alien Posters

Similarities and Differences between the Alien Posters

ALIEN Posters Comparison

This Alien Poster uses the green theme as with the other 2 posters that support the Alien Franchise. In the middle there is a massive green egg hatching which shows something extra-terrestrial. They have led with the slogan in space no one can hear you scream which suggests to the audience that the film will be held in outer space.

If we link this Alien poster to the other one we see they have gone for the same green surroundings and theme to show that extra-terrestrial theme. They have gone for a different font and have included the names of the actors. They have also included a light green beam down the middle which will link into the other films.

This is the first film produced by James Cameron and you can tell that by the new blue theme he has also included the characters for the first time this may show that he is going in a different direction but he has included some ALIEN clichés such as the hatching eggs showing that it hasn’t lost it roots.

This is the other poster for James Cameron’s Aliens he has used the original connection of the first poster but moved the writing down so it has linked into the first ever poster They have also stuck with the blue theme linking it to the original James Cameron poster.

This poster shows James Cameron putting his own stamp on the film by going for a different kind of poster. This time though he has tried to use the alien as a representation for the egg hatching showing that it has hatched now. This also shows that this is the last in the sequel because they have veered so far of the original poster yet they have stuck onto the

Storyboard Animatic

This is the storyboard animatic for our film trailer, it is there as a guideline for us to follow when filming and editing our film.

In our Animatic we have used various techniques and skills that we hope will translate onto our trailer when it is produced .Firstly we start off with black screens which adds to the tension we explain in these black clips that there will be fast dramatic music obviously this will relay onto our screen when we hear the music. We then shoot to a clip of our production company which is universal pictures . By doing this we associate ourselves with this company allowing the audience to relate to our film by universal. Another Black screen will then appear but this time with narration we will explain the film in this part by explaining the scamming that is occurring .

We then flick to our first screen which is heavy breathing and a man standing very mysterious were hoping to recreate this in school where we will see Alex's character standing over a large area. This allows the audience to get a view for what is going on in the scenery .This then leads onto the hooded man running we will transfer this into our film using a cycle path it is nice and narrow and will add to the mystery of the character . We once again carry on with our narration by doing this were showing to the audience what the film is about without giving away any details which could spoil it. 

We then  go to a scene which has been adapted slightly in the film we see the villainous character which is played by me holding a gun in a rural area saying "you my friends have bitten off more than you can chew. We have changed this to a scene  within a car in which now i talk more about why I'm after this character and that is about why he has taken so much money from him and how long he has to return it .

Then there is a dramatic gun shot straight away grabbing the audience attention by doing this we let the audience know that there has been a murder of some sort or that this scamming has really kicked off . We see more heavy breathing and running which adds tension to the scene.
