Images and Ideas.

After researching some advertisements and documentary posters, I now have an idea of how I would like the advertisement to look and also ideas on the font and style of the text I would like to use.

I plan on using an image of Eleanor in the setting of our documentary for the background of the advert as Eleanor is the 'face' of the documentary, she will appeal to more of an audience than  perhaps just a plain setting of the graveyard in which we are going to film our documentary. 

Eleanor and I went to the graveyard on October 25th 2012 and took some images of the setting to get an idea of where the documentary will be filmed and also what would be a good background for the advertisement image:

                                                                          

There are still more images that are needed to be added. Although the images that I have here do not necessarily represent a background for my advertisement, they do show some of the graveyard that will be used for the documentary and also include different angles, some of which work well and others do not. 

The first image on the left is a close-up of the Cholera cross, I thought that it would be important to get a close image of this to show the writing carved onto it. Although it is not all that easy to read or see, the close-up image will hopefully show that there is something to read on the cross. 

The image in the middle is Nelly Brennan's grave which is surrounded by bars (as you can see in the bottom left of the image) and would not be legible on the documentary as it is on the ground. Therefore, I thought that taking a picture of it was a good idea as it could then be used in the documentary as a still image. 

The third image, on the right, is another image of the cross in the first image and as you can see, the writing on the cross is not legible at all. I like this image as it shows not only the cross but the background of the graveyard, this shows that the Cholera grave is actually an extremely vast grave. This can also be shown in the video. Another point about this image is that is shows how small the Cholera cross is in comparison to the rest of the graves in the graveyard.
