Premise: Initial Propaganda Poster Designs.

-
Moving forward with designs for the environment I am creating, I looked at developing some propaganda posters for the Science Lab and The Anti-Nuclear Regime (the ANR). For this I looked at a lot of Soviet space propaganda that was around in the 1950-60s where new developments in space travel were just becoming known. Here I also looked at the types of propaganda that we against the Atomic Bomb and used the tension and drama each poster embodied to fuel my ideas for The ANR campaign designs; aiming for a dark apocalyptic mood to in still fear in society.

On the other end of the spectrum, for the Science Lab I looked at creating a lighter mood it it's ANR counter part. With this I looked more at science propaganda that emboldened and encouraged science, as well as looked at conservation posters to combine with the science theme and support what the Lab does (environmental research and conservation).

Below are some of the initial design outlines for the propaganda posters with colour swatches to give an idea of the type of colour schemes I will be planning to use. so for the Science Lab I intend to go for a more neutral colour pallet with pops of colour in inject energy into the design and convey a form of life in each design with the addition of green plants, flora and fauna. For The ANR I plan to use more acid bright tones with the addition of some reds and blacks to make the brighter colours stand out and contrast to draw attention to the dark foreboding mood I am trying to set for The ANR.

For todays lecture we looked at structural theories within films. This came looking at the 3 act structure - linear narrative structure - proposed by Syd Field who modernized and wrote about Aristotle's initial theory of narrative structure who stated that  “A whole is what has a beginning and middle and end” Poetics 335BC. Field  also stated that the 3 act structure   doesn't   necessarily  need to follow Aristotle's  proposed time  schedule and that the middle act (act 2) is usually twice as long as act 1 and 3. In Field's Paradigm, he lays out the Acts and their structure of what happens and when. Exposition - introduced to the film’s main character(s) and situation. Inciting Incident -   Complication/ incident that sets events into motion. End of Act 1 : Plot Point 1 -The event in which the character takes on the central problem. Mid-Point (Act 2) - The main character faces increasingly intense and complex problems / obstacles. End of Act 2 ...

Figure 1: Kong Film Poster. The creative force that is King Kong (1933) was directed and produced by Merian C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack and written by the visionary minds of James Ashmore Creelman and Ruth Rose.   Devised from the ideology of beauty and the beast, it shows Kong to lose sense of the world around him in order to ‘protect’ Ann (Fay Wray), who throughout the film since after meeting Kong is clearly distressed and anxious of Kong’s possessive tendencies. Forming a whirlwind of cinematography as it “plunders every trick in the book to create its illusions” (Ebert, 2002) for the audiences at the time of its release date. ( Figure 1 ). Figure 2: Ann kidnapped by tribes' people. At the time of King Kong’s (1933) release America was at the peak of the Great Depression (1929-1939), most citizens were unemployed and some even left homeless due to companies going out of business. So, for Hollywood to put out the blockbuster King Kong (1933) it ...
