Project 2: What Does The Group Say? Graphic Film

For the second project of the Graphics Pathway, the brief was to create a graphic film based on a specific word which we were given by our tutor. Mine, in this case, was "Juxtaposition" and this project also allowed me to express my creative ability alongside fellow members on the graphics course in a group scenario.
After getting off to a slow start and much deliberation about the general direction and ideas surrounding the theme of the film, my team decided on creating a sequence of scenes based around the most basic definition of the word "juxtaposition".
This allowed us to create a series of short scenes which contrasted certain elements of life, including "young vs old", "fear vs courage" and "male vs female".
Overall, I feel this project worked well in terms of the group dynamic and the final outcome, however I believe, my team skills need to be improved in the way which I pitch my ideas to the rest of my team and my team management skills, given that we have not designated a team manager for the duration of the project.

For the second part of this project we were asked to create a poster which is representative of our film.
I simply chose a scene from our film and applying minimalist styling, added the word Juxtaposition to the bottom right corner, this allowed for people to question the poster and make the connection once the film had been viewed which I believe was effective, in that, people were interested to find out what the film was about in order to understand the poster. Therefore, both element combined helped to explain one another.

Below is my finished poster and link to view the short film:
