Top 10 - Change of Brief

So this is where the change of brief has lead me. The sequence tells a story as the two characters chase their way around an ever changing series of events and circumstances. I would like to achieve something similar within my own work.

Movie Season - Platform

Not really relevant to any of my design decisions, but I've decided on the channel to host my zombie movie season. Living Tv has a very varied audience, all tuning in for one thing it seems, to see Yvette Fielding scare the living hell out of herself in Most Haunted.

Though my idents seek to bring an air of comedy to a usually terrifying genre, I still think this channel offers the best range of potentially interested viewers. Plus, the logo offers a good range of possibilities when it comes to incorporating it into my own designs and the name brings another edge of black humor.

Anyway, I thought I'd post the idents as I've always liked them, and I found out that there are no digital effects included in them (except maybe touch ups) . The idents were created by blasting fire or smoke through a steel stencil. Amazing!

Movie Season - Olly Moss

I like the dry humor created when delivering information on a situation as horrific as the one depicted below, or making up the rules to a game that isn't even a game, let alone a game that needs rules.

This is definitely the direction I want to take my own work, it's also reassuring that I can still take this idea in both directions, as funny as this could be,

 it could also be really eerie - serious public information detailing what to do in the event of a zombie attack seems pretty scary to me - brings it home, makes it seem possible.

But I'm dead set on making this work as a comedy piece, so I'll exhaust that option first.

I also quite like the delivery of these two posters...

This one has made up document codes and plenty of other official looking

elements that, despite it initially looking quite funny, has 

quite a haunting effect with it's blunt and rational approach to zombie slaughtering.

This one looks scarier, quite text heavy with a newspaper stay layout.

However upon reading there's some line's that sum up the tone of my own approach and some useful 

information I may be able to use when constructing my own info graphic.

Movie Season - Visual Material

Still trying to figure out an appropriate range of visual material to work with, I began to thing of a few of the elements in the films that I found particularly scary or funny, something that made an impression. I think official documents have a particularly unnerving feel to them, especially newspapers. The idea that a newspaper might print a headline announcing a zombie attack makes the threat seem real.. and what if I applied this to a standard daily tabloid like The Sun?

I could take this idea down either route, either funny or serious.

After a bit of research I came across this image,

Which straight away reminded me of the Eurotrip title sequence...

Though I've seen this many times before, I hadn't considered using it in my own work until now.

I think this is the best approach to my chosen movie season, giving it an edge of black comedy and setting it apart

from the work of others. Brilliant.
