P1. Infographic Ideas

Idea 1

I plan to make a landscape infographic/print following the colour schemes and patterns from the NFTS  web page. The page mainly features greys, pink, yellow and black. It also often features grey and black stripes, which I plan to bring into my infographic for more texture.

I plan to have a black and grey stripped banner at the top of the page, with the title 'Careers in the Film Industry' in pink. At the bottom of the page, there will be an identical banner with pink text, although this will be the NFTS logo.

The background will be the light grey, and in-between the banners, there will be the lists of available film roles in the industry, arranged into sections:

Pre-production
Production
Post-production

As this infographic is aimed at youth and young adults, I will add a film related image to each section. This image will be black and white, as colour will distract too much from the writing, and also ruin the NFTS colour scheme.


Idea 2
For this design, I again plan to stick to the NFTS colour scheme and patterns, but the presentation will be completely different.

I plan to have all of the information on a clapperboard I will design. The title will be at the top on the top, and will be white font on a black background (to fill in for the black and white stripes), and the roles will be in the main rectangle. I plan to use the white chalk lines to separate the three production processes, so they are easier to distinguish between. Underneath the clapperboard, there will be grey and black stripes to bring texture to the image, and the pink NFTS logo will be placed on the clapperboard to bring colour to the infographic.

I think this will be very relevant to young aspiring filmmakers, as many of them will have seen/will know what a clapper board is, and will link this to film - therefore will be more likely to catch their attention.

Idea 3

Yet again I plan to follow the NFTS colour scheme.

For this infographic, I plan to present all of the information via a cinema screen. I will have a similar lay out to my first inforgraphic inside the screen, with the title and roles presented. There will be chairs captured in the infographic, but they will be very simplistic with very little detail, so the viewer wont be distracted from the screen. The NFTS logo will be in pink, and positioned against the black chairs in the bottom right.

Similar to idea 2, this will be more likely to draw in young aspiring filmmakers, as they will see the design of the cinema screen, and link it to film.
