Update
Today i am going to have finished all the reaserch for all taks of my blog, now what is left to do is finish the last bits of my editing and finish off the magazine artical which i have started. I will also start drafting my evaluation which i will record as a podcast with my co-producer Chris Hales and someone else who is within the target audince i have aimed my production at.
Character Theory - Esta
Esta the main character would be the protagonist within my feature film. He strives to set things straight between himself, his peers and the dealer who has threatened his life. However his character soon turns dark after winning the game and shooting both the dealer and his supposed friend Troy.
He starts off in the film appearing as an over confident but venerable character on the poker table whilst the other characters are much more focused and serious. He uses this to his advantage by making the other characters more nervous. When he leaves the house however he seems very calm and collected. This again shows when he meets up with Troy and has non-threatening convocation with Troy.
When we meet Esta he is within a darkish room with his TV switched on. He is obviously getting ready for an event which is confirmed by the text message he receives whilst getting his jacket on. He appears to be alone within the house suggesting he has a well-paid job due to being able to afford a middle class location. Due to this location he appears to live a comfortable life, which suggests the game of poker is either a hobby or an addiction.
Esta does take a gun with him. It appears to be a vintage pistol which is unclear as he tries to keep it under wraps. He checks if it is loaded before he leaves his location. He also carries with him a blackberry smart phone which is a type of phone which is usually connected with a business nature.
His costume also suggests wealth as he wears a crisp three piece suit with a black tie and unconventional purple shirt. This is to make Esta stand out a little more from the other characters. This however, when edited, will have a small impact due to the nature of the black and white colouring.

Main Task: Poster version 4 - Finished
I decided to completely change my design for my poster due to it being hard to read the text. My new design is easy to read and can easily be desifered as being a poker based movie.

Main Task - Artical research
For my second piece to go with my production I am going to produce a magazine artical for it to go with my poster. To do this however I will need to look into the language of the magazine artical and the layout it's self. There are a variety of Film magazines on today's shelf's including 'Emprie' and 'Total Film'.
Both magazines follow a similar layout for their movie reviews, commonly consisting of a large still from the featured movie and main characters and a corresponding colour scheme which connects with the genre of the movie.
Below are a few examples of the layout within both total film and empire. The first is a page from the "i am legend" empire review and the following is a artical on the British film "heartless" by totalfilm.
As you can see the layouts a fairly similar consisting of a large feature picture followed by smaller columned text. Both also have larger fonted quotes from the movies/actors which stand out in a different colour and font. Both also use subheading to get someone flicking through the magazine to take notice and continue reading the publication.
The language of both is fairly simple, with a quick description of the film to begin with introducing the main characters and actors, along with quotes from actors and critics. Both magazines focus mainly on the pros instead of the cons of the movies and suggest a audience for both. I shall take this into account when making my publication as i already have a target audience i want to hit which i found out through my research.
I shall use a large photo from my production along with some smaller ones of the actual making of the film to make the publication look more professional and interesting to read and look at.

Main Production - Music
Today i found some suitable music for my production, i found a website in which sold production music, the cost for the downloads were only slightly higher than sites such as Itunes, however these pieces of music have been specifically made for students a film makers to use in low budget/small productions.
Overall i picked some quite conventional pieces which it nicely with my production, they both have a low but constant tempo which will be good for creating suspense and also have some higher points in which i may be able to incorporate into my films highlight scenes such as Esta flipping the table.
