Communicating narrative and genre information using film language

We were set a task to create a set for a birthday party. In order to create a poster we took photos of our set and used myself and Adam as actors. I worked with myself, Joss, Adam and Evie. Everyone was given a title "Birthday Party" and you could choose from the following:
Romance
Horror
Comedy
gangster

We chose to do romance as we felt we could create a strong set for it. We had to bring our own props in which was good because we could put our own twist on it.

This is the birthday card we used for one of the photographs

This is our sketch of the props and the set

We were struggling to decided whether we wanted a light pink light or a darker pink light. The darker light created quite a dark, intimate atomosphere which I felt worked but as a group we decided on using the lighter one as we figured we could tweek it slightly on photoshop.

 

Deciding who was going to feature in the pictures was a quick decision. As I do performing arts I gladly said I would do it, also Adam said he was happy to do it.
