Postcard

There are 3 components to this project...

  • The Film: We've discussed this more than a few times.
  • Social Media: I've mentioned it! More coming soon.
  • The Postcard: Never before talked about...

...UNTIL NOW!


    Jack and I were intentionally holding off on the post card until we filmed our diner scene because we wanted a picture from the booth. We took about 20 so we had options to choose from. Then, we added our selected font, some basic credits, a tagline, and the front of the postcard was DONE!



    I think this shot is absolutely stunning. The dim lighting is intimate, while the profile remains intense. The toned down red also aids for this bold yet possibly emotion-led piece. Not to mention, the tagline!! I love it.

    "We can make this work" is from first glance, a reference to a relationship. The two are seemingly on a date, what else could they be referring to? The tagline is in actuality in reference to the heist happening and Ember's revelation of this COULD work, with a distraction. 

    There are other little details that really make this postcard meaningful. The single glass of water not only is visually appealing as it is in the center, but it has a deeper meaning. There is only one glass rather than two, referencing Ben not knowing what Ember was going to join him for the performance of the distraction, therefore he only ordered one. The water is also of course splashed on Ben as the finale. 



    The back of the postcard is also pretty cool! The visual is the nicely-leveled shot I previously mentioned in another blog post. Not only do you see more characters than just Ember and Ben, but you get to see a little bit into their emotions. I also added a bit of a black transparency over this picture to keep the main focus on the words presented. 

    Then, of course, the instagram handle is available for easy-access. The handle name is simple for a smooth search. 

    Last but not least, the film festival we will be screening at is presented! Jack actually just went to the Miami Film Festival for a piece he was apart of. He talked about the films he saw while he was there and we both thought this piece could realistically be there. So, for genre purposes and location convenience, the Miami Film Festival worked out nicely.
