Poster Final



This was made using microsoft word due to my laptop not having Photoshop anymore, this meant i had to create this on school computers, which also meant i couldn't use the font i had decided on and ending up having to use a default. It was made in word so to export it has a image i had to print screen and copy it into paint, where i cropped it down to size, however this means the proportions aren't correct.

Song choice

Although it goes against some conventions of skateboarding, I decided to use a very upbeat fast electronic song by artist 'Skrillex'. The reasoning behind this is I wanted to make sure I could sync all the tricks up with the song to create a unique style not seen in many skateboarding movies. The electronic sounds also open up a lot of opportunities for editing techniques that do not work with genres like rock/hiphop.

Final Font

http://www.dafont.com/feast-of-flesh-bb.font?fpp=50&text=SKATETOPIA
This is the font i decided to use. I choose this because it's style represents skateboarders because it is very 'Punk' which is a massive stereotype when it comes to skateboarders.

This is a font that i would have loved to use however it just didn't fit in with the style that i was trying to create, this would be used for a high end budget skateboard movie whereas mine is low budget and gives a view of the darker side of skateboarder, the high end budget films usually show off the artistic style of skateboarding by using unique filming angles and lighting.
