Week 17

-

 


This week, after completing my final edits on my opening sequence and refining it using teacher and peer feedback, I made a film poster using photographs I had taken whilst shooting in the desert.

Before doing this I decided to analyse the following movie posters:





Common features among all these posters that made them appear as more professional and appeals to the audience is :
-A bold and eye-catching font for the title.
-The main protagonist placed centrally on the poster (most times it is a close up, making it more intimate which provides a connection to the audience)
-Imagery of objects/events that are relevant to the plot of the movie
-Credits the actors of the movie (normally at the top of the poster) to attract the audience using star power.
-More credits are placed at the bottom of the poster in a cluster.

To start with my own poster I selected a photo which seemed very intimate as it was a mid shot of the protagonist. There was a link to the story line due to the background of the desert and the crown she is wearing. I also like this photograph because the flare from the sun made it more interesting and eye catching.

I then selected a bold font that I liked as it seems quite elegant and then colored it gold to make it more bold. I then experimented with the positioning of the title.


To complete the poster, I added the credits of the actors at the top and the other credits at the bottom. 
Here is the finished poster:

We then see the logo of the production group, 'Color Force' which is known to have produced the 'Diary of a Wimpy Kid' series and 'Crazy Rich Asians' which are both highly praised as very engaging films which elevated the interest in the audience as their psychological need for brand identity is met.  We then see a series of white text dissolve in and out of the black screen. The slow transitions align with the calming music but I personally believe that this contrasts to what the writing itself is saying. The text is a brief description of the main event in the f...
