i thought it would be a good idea to research into some film poster's for Warp Films, i found that when looking at these few that the layouts are mostly non naturalistic, with the protagonist being the main focus of the poster, a feature i would like to experiment with on our own poster. there is also a repetition of star ratings for the film, which i think would be another key element we would try and input on our own work.
there has been a number of different edits to the photos on the poster, i think altering our images and adding effects on photoshop would look effective on our poster, maybe to make a black and white layout or saturise the photo like in the 'scummy man' poster(see above). having a more empty poster with no busy background, and a photo of the protagonist face on like the 'scummy man' poster and the 'Dog altogether' screen shot would be a good layout for our own poster.
however we do have some effective photos of the graveyard too which could also be good if we were thinking of using a background or setting shot for our poster.
next step is to experiment with these ideas, collecting photos of Amy face on and in an empty shot and then effective photos of the graveyard with and without amy in them. taking these photos and adding different effects to the photos to see what fits best.

ReplyDeleteTo improve this post you could do with placing these images either into word or into PowerPoint and annotating them making sure to highlight key features and conventions. You can then attempt to create a mock up for your own poster. Ensure that you select genres which match your own and also continue to stick to working title.
Depending on your target audience you could create multiple posters, one to appeal to males, then females, aspirers etc.
It is extra work but it will reflect a better level of understanding.
