​
Ideas
​
1.For my first poster idea I am going to have some body staring into the camera with a mask on. The main effect on this poster will be a text portrait effect. The text in this poster will be on the mental effects of lockdown.
​
2.For my second poster idea I want to create a poster of somebody curled up and looking sad. The main effect for this poster will be duel lighting and a text message effect. This message will be relating to mental health in lockdown.
​
3.My third poster idea is to create a poster with some one side on looking happy and then having a double exposure effect of a dark place This will show that people can be happy on the outside but dark on the inside.
​
4.My fourth poster idea is to use a clone effect and have one person happy and one sad the person looking sad will have a mask to suggest this is during lockdown.
​
5.For my final poster I will create a poster with the effect of neon lines I want to have a person in black and white on a dark background with a neon circle around with text about lockdown mental health.

Equipment and props-

mask
different outfits
adobe
​
Shoot plans
​
Poster 1 shoot:
Equipment-Tripod, Phone, Lights
Props-Mask
Time of day-Daytime, I will be shooting in day time because the bright light will show the features of the persons face better this will show the effect clearer.
Time-29th March
Location-any room with a blank wall. I want to shoot against a blank wall because I want most of the text to be legible.
Potential problems and how to solve-Some potential problems I could face are if there isn't much day light the way I can solve this would be by using lights instead of relying on daylight.
Reshoot time if needed-5th April
​
Poster 2 shoot:
Equipment-Tripod, Phone ,Lights
Props-No props needed
Time of day-Night time, I want to shoot at night time because this poster will be very dark to create a sense of sadness to link in with my theme.
Time-30th March
Location-Living room. I will shoot in here because it has good lighting and also has a lot of room to place my camera with different angles. My back up plan for this would be to shoot in my bedroom because I will also be able to shoot with lots of different angles but wont have as much room.
Potential problems and how to solve-One problem I could face is that I make the posters to dark the way I would solve this is by shooting in the day but lowering the brightness to how I want it.
Reshoot time if needed-6th April
​
Poster 3 shoot:
Equipment-Tripod, phone
Props-no props needed
Time of day-day time, the reason I need to shoot in the day is that I want the background of this poster to be a landscape that is bright and light to represent happy and then a double exposure of a dark and rainy Landscape.
Time-31st March
Location-My bedroom I would like to shoot here because it will be easy to access and if there is a rainy and dark day I can easily take the photo needed for double exposure. If there aren't any rainy days I would like to shoot at the nature reserve in fulbourn this is in walking distance of home and will be accessible at all times.
Potential problems and how to solve-One problem I could face in this shoot could be that there are no sunny days to take the main photo on the way I would solve this would be using Lightroom and photoshop to create the illusion of adding sunlight.
Reshoot time if needed-7th April
​
Poster 4 shoot:
Equipment-Tripod, Phone, lights
Props-Mask
Time of day-Day time, I want to shoot in the day because it will look more natural and will be easy to make the light and dark side whereas if I shot at night it would be hard to make a dark side of my poster.
Time-1st April
Location-I want to shoot this in my garden the reason for this is that there will be a lot of camera angels I can use and a background that is suitable for this poster.
Potential problems and how to solve-One problem I could face is that it rains on the day of the shoot and reshoot therefore I will use a different location for each. This location would be my living room this will also have a good background and good camera angles.
Reshoot time if needed-8th April
​
Poster 5 shoot:
Equipment-Phone, tripod, greenscreen and lights
Props-No props
Time of day-day the reason I need to shoot in day is to show every detail of the persons head and to make sure the greenscreen works as best as possible.
Time-2nd April
Location-I want to shoot this in my dining room because It will have the most room for the greenscreen and I can create a lot of different camera angles.
Potential problems and how to solve-One problem I could face is that my greenscreen is too light or dark the way I would solve this would be by using more lights or shooting when its brighter outside
Reshoot time if needed-9th April.
​
I will also need to evaluate these photos which I will do on the day that I take them this will also be when I decide if I need to reshoot.
​
Post production plan
​
My plan for production is to have all footage needed by the 9th April at the latest this will give me all my footage before we get back to college after Easter holiday Overall I will have about 1 week for each poster. The way I will schedule editing these posters will be by editing one poster per day however I will not get any the posters finished on the first day so I will do this every week until the 3rd of May this is where I will start my evaluation. If I need extra photos or need to reshoot more then I will schedule these in at the time I find out.
​
Reshoot schedule-
12/04/21-Poster 1 reshoot at night
13/04/21-poster 2 reshoot in the dark
14/04/21-poster 3 reshoot from a higher angle I also need to take the background photo for this poster.
15/04/21-poster 4 reshoot
16/04/21-poster 5 reshoot try different angles
​
4 poster ideas
​
​
1-My first poster idea is to have a footprint symbolising taking the first step forwards towards speaking about mental health. inside these footsteps will be information on mental health and where to go if you need help.
​
2-My second poster idea is to have a outline of a face with a speech bubble I will fill this speech bubble with the slogan of the poster and will fill the outline of the face with pictures of things that cause mental health problems and also solve them.
​
3-My third poster idea is to have an jar of causes of mental illness with the title of the poster as a question that makes people think about there issues and trying to push them to solve these problems.
​
4-My final poster idea is to create a poster that has a lot of information and not many photos or pictures. This poster will have a image which will be a cup of drink to symbolise having a drink with a friend
​
All these posters will be done in photoshop and Illustrator this is because showing real things that cause mental health could be not suitable for younger children therefore these images will need to be almost cartoon like.
​
I will not need any shoots because I will be creating all of these on photoshop the way I will be doing this is by looking at my research on mental health posters and taking inspiration from these and changing them.
​
poster 2 and 3 list-
​
Playing cards to represent gambling
Pills to represent anti depressants
syringe representing drugs
a hearts playing card but with all the hearts broken this will represent heartbreak.
Money representing greed
heart representing love
more pills representing bad drugs to make these look bad I will make them red
I'm also going to have writing encouraging people to speak about mental health
I have been thinking about my idea and I wanna try to use a real jar for poster 3.I will take these photos today(20/04/21) This will be very easy to take and wont require much time.
Slogans-
​
Let it out, Seek help
​
Take a step forward for your mental health
​
Don't be afraid to speak up
​
Share and seek help
​
​
Poster 4 writing-

Slogan-
My slogan for this poster will be each sip saves lives. I don't know if I want to keep this slogan but I will use it for my rough drafts.
