The students are creating a poster to advertise their short film. Their plan is to have the main character in the center with images of the four male characters surrounding her to represent her flashbacks to dates. The title will be below the main character in bold white text on a black background to stand out. They will also include a slogan and their production company name at the bottom of the poster.
3. As apart of our media product that we are assigned to create at A2 media, we have to also
create a poster that advertises our short film. By looking at other posters of films and
using our own creative skills we are starting to come up with a good outline plan for our
film poster.
The main image – The main image of the poster will be in the centre, this is an image of
our main character Mia. This image is great for being in the centre of the poster as she is
the main character and the other images of the other characters surround her.
The other four images – The other four mages surrounding the main image are of the four
boys that the main character goes on dates with. We decided to surround the main
character with the boys due to them not being as a main characters as she is but also
because the dates play on in her head which we see in the film due to the flashbacks.
These images will also have a blur effect around them which also makes them look at
though they are a thought/memory of the girl.
The Title and The Background– The title is placed just below the main character, it is a
bright white colour and is bold to stand out and grab the audiences attention. We have
made the title while as the background is black, the title will also stand out a lot better
too if the background is black. We chose a simple black background as we are adding
quite a number of images to the poster and also because of the text we are putting on the
poster, the text is a light/bright colour on a dark background it will stand out more.
Slogan – We have noticed that a lot of films seems to have a slogan to go with it so we
have decided to do this too.
Production company – We are putting our production company name at the bottom of
the poster as we have seen this done on other film posters.
