Since a billing box is a compulsory aspect to a film poster I needed to create one for my own poster, using a similar structure and design to those on existing film posters, like the posters I analysed previously. I looked at the billing box from the poster for the film 'Peep World', which was a billing box we looked at in class, as I liked the structure of it and this really aided me in the making of my own:

I noticed that the name of the production company and distributor are located at the top of the billing box in larger, more spaced out lettering. I decided on 'Capture Pictures' as the name of the production company and 'Playhouse Entertainment' for the name of the distributor as I searched related words to the word 'film' and 'cinema' and the word 'Playhouse' came up in my thesaurus search. I liked how it sounds and how it looks as a logo. It also relates to cinema and motion picture.

I came up with a few variations of logos before deciding on my final two which are on the third billing box down, which is my final billing box design. I really liked the mix of bold and regular text so I thought that for the 'Capture Pictures' logo, the third one down would be the best and not too fussy that it diverts attention away from the poster design itself.

I created a few different billing boxes, with the third one down being my final design:

Today I logged all of our filming onto the harddrive which is connected to a Mac computer in the muse studio. I began to sort out the useful clips that we will consider using in our trailer from the not so useful clips that can be rejected. This way when we begin editing we won't have masses of footage to go through and will be a lot less complicated.

We finally figured out how to convert out footage so that it was compatible with Final Cut Pro using a program called MPEG Streamclip, which was successful in converting the footage. I didn't want to begin editing yet as Melody wasn't in so I thought it best to wait until next time we go to the muse.

Next time we go to the muse we will now be able to begin editing and making our trailer with the footage we have shot!
