The Simpsons

The Simpsons Movie Booklet

Within this booklet we were asked to create a promotional package for 'The Simpsons Movie'. This needed to include a poster and trailer. We saw this task, as good practice as these were also promotional methods we need to created for our project. The booklet had different modules inside testing out knowledge of Photoshop and iMovie.

 Our lecturer gave us some feed back about the work we produced.

'The Simpsons Movie' trailer

The task set was to create a trailer for The Simpsons Movie. Our project for the year is to create a trailer, so we felt this task was good practiceand appropiate to develop our editing skills on the promgramme iMovie.
We feel we have improved our knowlegde of the promgramme. In refrence to the promgramme our knowlegde was quite basic and brief, but in creating this trailer we experimented with the different tabs to see what was available to us when creating this product. We are now aware of more elements which can use and apply to our end product of our horror trailer. The experience is definately helpful and will be anadvantage when it comes to editing together our horror trailer. Instead of giving more responsibilty to one of the groupmembers that the other we worked toegther 50/50, this ment we collaborated ideas and shared opinions as well compromising so the decisions were made together.

We chose to include the clips we did as The Simpsons, is genreally known as a cartoon comedy. These clips will give a new audience a sense of what to expect and will make the loyal audience aware that filmmakers have been faithful to longrunning series and have not distanced themselves from the well known series.

'The Simpsons Movie' Film Poster 

We have also created a promotional film poster for The Simpsons Movie.

We chose to use this specific image asincludes all the characters the audience will typically see and recognise from the cartoon series whom feature in the movie.

We chose the yellow for the 'coming soon...' as we thought yellow is an appropriate colour as it is the characters skin colour and would go with the poster more. However, seeing it now we think it could have been improved. We could have used a different colour instead of the yellow such as red. This might have been a better choice as it would have made it stand out more and would match the other texts on the poster. Therefore, practicing making a film poster has given us more of an idea of what to have in mind while making a film poster.

This has improved our photoshop skills which will be proven useful while doing our main tasks.
