Title my title are not all the same for being different in each are. in the poster it is for being more modern and help stand out and connote London where originally I was going to have ‘Viso Gero Lithuva’ was going to be written in joined up handwriting to show the two different countries in the title. This was my first draft of the poster but I changed it to just ‘Hello London’ because it would have been more easier to read and pronounce. All the tiles I used are not in the same font for a reason; in the short film it stands out from the background of London slowly zooming out with a black outline, in the review page it is also in white text but is in a black block which makes it stand out more and in the poster a graffiti style but it is black because it is on white paper.

Image instead of having production shots like other real media products I challenged this by using Nora’s ( a Lithuanian that is in the short film) old photographs of when she was in Lithuania and when she first came to London. The two photos that I used help me by being different colour as well has her hair style being different. In both she is in the middle of the photograph however in the second one she is look straight ta the camera where in the other one she is looking off into the side. This could suggest that in the top one where she is in Lithuania that she doesn't look like she is unsure and just dazing where in the bottom photo sheIs more certain of her self and knows what she wants.I used Nora because in a small survey I found out she Was more appealing to all ages and looks like an interesting character.

The Millennium Eye I used a production picture of the Millennium Eye because it is a recognisable icon of London. I specifically didn’t use any of the interviewees photographs because in a documentary films the interviewees are not always the main people that are used because they wouldn't always allow this. So I decided to use two photos that would be recognisable about the two counties. My photo was taken during the full on with the whole of the wheel being a little bit tilted where in comparison that in my short film it is from the Westminster bridge where the shot is a view down the river and is still recognisable even when it is lit at night.

Akropolis is a well known shopping centre in Lithuanian where people would travel large distance just to go there. I used it because it was more icon in how every Lithuanian would recognise it if it was mentioned. I also used a production shot of the large sign that is seen from a far distance. Even though most review pages have screen shots from the film, I thought that the production shot photograph is more appealing and interesting than the still from the film. With out realising both of the icons use the same linear steal piping to keep it standing high and strong. Both photos where changed to a grey scale and lightened up to make the writing in the review page stand out more. I compare both icons in my short film in the middle where I compare Lithuania and London so I decided to still carry on comparing the two countries in the review page by having the photos.
