Poster Idea for Davids class


http://www.geeksundergrace.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/tumblr_static_3nvds4v707i8ggsgcgkswok8c.jpgThe poster I have tried to make is influenced by a picture from one of my favourite animes but played out by one of my favourite games.

http://www.themarysue.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/league.png

        (League of legends is the one and only game made by Riot games and is a free to play game. Which has a shop in game for real money and has an estimated revenue of $964 mill)

(Attack on Titan is a great anime about
Rising up and fighting what’s wrong in the world.)

 The attack on titan picture I have turned into a poster for a league of legends is a picture to show how lifes is hard when you small its almost impossible to win when you come up against such bad odds like a massive monster at the gates just like in attack on titan. In my poster I have taken the map where everyone plays league of legends used what I think would be a close 1st person view of the map in that location as the base of the poster. In the picture for attack on titan Eren is made to look small against the giant in the background which is what I tried to do to the small character influenced by one of league of legends smallest champions (Teemo) and contrasting against the big character which is also influenced by a league of legend character. I used brighter colours to show the more cartoony side of my poster but still having darker colours to add depth to the poster. The two characters seen in my poster are influenced by characters within the game I have tried to make my characters a bit more like cartoons rather than copying league of legends.  The title of Attack On Teemo is a play on the words attack on titan and the name Teemo from league. In my poster I made the sky a dark blue just to show theres nothing to save to save the smaller character from the larger one and the under the trees is dark not just because of shading also to set an ere feel to the poster so it is not seen as so upbeat as its not supposed to be. Teemo is set in the middle to draw yours eyes to him of the lane funnels up so the your eyes are also drawn towards the gate and the massive character which takes up a large amount of the screen and is seen as a massive threat much like the picture from attack on titan where I drew influence from.


Character Bio
Bjorke Anderfall
Douglas Bentley





Bjorke Anderfall is a dwarf from a place where everyone lives in tribes and each tribe try’s hard to keep to themselves. Bjorke is an older dwarf and a great warrior as a young child he was told he must craft his own weapon the weapon would define who he was and would show his character so bjorke decided he would craft a weapon he saw was the greatest and mightiest weapon in the world a massive hammer. The massive hammer helped give him his nickname Banger.  Bjorke was not the leader of his tribe but was well respected and always tried to help the other dwarfs of his tribe. He was great at fighting and only ever lost fights to his brother Stumpy as Bjorke had the habit of fighting just with crazed swinging and rushing in till he won where his brother would study his opponents and defeat them with pure wit. After years of training Stumpy was able to teach Bjorke his ways  which now made a fight with Bjorke not winnable well at least if they were to fight him on fair 1v1 terms.  Bjorkes son always looked up to him and said one day dad I’m going to be like you and so Bjorke has always taken Olaf on every adventure he goes on. Bjorke looks like a normal dwarf but he has dark hair with a few greys and he has a red tattoo over his right eye he got this because his perants died and everytime he sees himself in a reflection it gives him the courage to keep fighting. Bjorke has grown up with his brother and became a blacksmith were he crafts items for his village. Bjorke was the number one fighter in his village and has always been there ever since he defeated there last best fighter who was a crude nasty man by the name of Crunk it didn’t take much for Bjorke to take him out  and once Crunk was defeated he left the village forever but declared he would return to get his revenge on the village and Bjorke for what had just happened.

Script v2
“The Fallen Hammer”
By Douglas Bentley


















FADE IN:
EXT. FOREST TRACK – MORNING
Shouting can be heard in the distance. BJORKE’s face appears covered in soot and sweat, he starts running in the direction of the village.

EXT. VILLAGE – MORNING
The village is being raided by soldiers’, they are burning and slicing everything in their path. Two raiders light the left building on fire while the other 4 run inside the right building and only screaming is heard. One of the raiders comes flying out the window and lays in the street.

INT. HUT – MORNING
BJORKE enters and finds his wife badly beaten and bleeding on their hut floor. He runs to her and holds her in his arms.
OLAF, their son, enters behind BJORKE and runs to his mother distressed and crying.
Her breath becomes shallow, she barely whispers out her last words.

                        WIFE
              CRUNK did this, don’t go alone.

She coughs, plasters spit and blood over BJORKES face and falls limp in his arms.
BJORKE yells out in anger and grief.


BJORKE
AAAAARRRRRHRRH!!!!!

FADE TO BLACK:
EXT. VILLAGE – MIDDAY
BJORKE and OLAF knock at BJORKE’s brother, STUMPY’s hut door. STUMPY answers the door with a big smile till he sees BJORKE’s bloody face.

                        STUMPY
              WHAT IN THE HELLS FORGE HAPPENED BROTHER!?
Come, come in.


INT. KITCHEN - MIDDAY
They enter the hut and STUMPY beckons them to take a seat.

                        BJORKE
              The CRUNKS tribe have attacked and all
              Is lost, my home and my wu..wu(pauses).

STUMPY stops him before he finishes knowing what he would say.

                        STUMPY
              Stay here my brother you will both be safe
We will get you your vengeance.

INT. BEDROOM – NIGHT
BJORKE tucks OLAF into bed and blows out the candle.

OLAF
Father, I can help you…

BJORKE smiles and pats Olaf on the back and with a smile says

BJORKE
You’re a strong lad
But I must go alone.

EXT. STUMPYS HUT – NIGHT/EARLY MORNING
BJORKE sneaks out of his brother’s hut with his mighty hammer and heads off into the night alone.

EXT. ENEMYS VILLAGE – LATE AFTERNOON
We arrive at the enemy’s village. The villages are empty, a sound of rabbles comes from the large longhouse in the centre of the village. BJORKE walks all the way the chiefs hut and yells



BJORKE
            “FIGHT ME AND FINISH WHAT YOU HAVE STARTED”.

 Five guards come out but 3 of them run at BJORKE with swords drawn as the get close enough BJORKE pulls out his mighty hammer and brings each of them down with a single strike. The remaining 2 tackle BJORKE to the ground. The leader comes out looking all dressed up in fur drinking wine and eating chicken. They hold BJORKE down ready for death.

EXT.ENEMYS VILLAGE – LATE EVENING
The leader of the village rambles on about how

CRUNK
You see this is why we we’re able to destroy your village cause your WEAK! FOLISH!

BJORKE looks at the ground knowing he was right he was weak and foolish he should have listened to his wife. We see the sword of the Village leader swing we fade to white hear the thud of the sword for a brief second we hear his WIFEs voice.

WIFE
Don’t go alone.

EXT. VILLAGE – EARLY MORNING
We hear a thud of the sword again. We think all is lost but then see the sword has been knocked out of his hands and is now stuck in a fence held there by a large throwing axe. We see Stumpy Standing there and then horns blare and a whole horde of Dwarfs rush over the ridge and attack the village. Stumpy hastily saves his brother and they bring up in arms against the enemy’s. While STUMPYs clan attacks the village. BJORKE fights the CRUNK in a 1v1 to the death. CRUNK draws a sword out of 1 of his fallen troops he pulls it out and swings it at BJORKE, BJORKE swings his hammer knocking CRUNK to the ground easily then he with one swift swing of his hammer crushes CRUNKS head into the ground.

EXT.ENEMY VILLAGE – MORNING
We cut to the morning of the fight we see BJORKE and his Brother standing in the middle of the village

BJORKE
Thank you brother

STUMPY punches BJORKE hard and shouts joyfully

STUMPY
You ever do that again I’ll kill you!!!


 They both laugh and walk back towards STUMPYS village with smiles on both their faces.

Stumpy sits and listens to his brother’s story and when he finishes stumpy stands up and says “who do they think they are”. He settles then says to Bjorke that if he waits the whole village will be able to help as it’s too late and in the morning they’ll hear his story and help.
