PLANNING/RESEARCH: FILM POSTER

AIM:
I will show awareness of variety of fonts and size, the choice of title/masthead font could have some sort of impact,  accurate language and register; image and text is integrated, photos manipulated appropriately; material is appropriate to the task set. I will create both products on Photoshop.

1. PLANNING The Poster
Conventions of a Poster:
1. To be eye-catching/captivating
2. To have a focal picture that will be intriguing.
3. To display a large title that is easily read "TWINS"
4.  Suggestion of the film genre.
5.  May use famous actors to promote the film ( mine will have the twins as the actors )
6.  Will attract a target audience.
7.  A tagline is usually evident on the poster.
8.  Age certification usually displayed.
9.  Coming soon or release date displayed.
10.  Directors and Production Company displayed.
I plan to keep the poster within the same theme as the short film and the magazine front cover. I want it to promote the short film and give them an urge to watch it. Something that is ascetically pleasing.

This Poster isn't of a film, however the use of the black and white images really appeals to me. I am using various sets of twins so I could create a poster similar to this.





I have found these posters/images on google. I like the idea of having portraits on the poster (seeing as the film is about people, I need to to encorporate them into the poster). I have taken some good portrait photos I could use that I took when filming.





I saw this effect with photoshop on youtube. I really like it and might try it for my poster. Once I have created the title I will again ask my focus group what they think.
