It notes key elements of the Batman poster including a dark silhouette of the character, the logo, and a dark background with light to create dramatic tension. It suggests ideas for a poster for a short film, including spotlighting the main character on a stage with a script, and listing the principal names and release date at the top in a neat, presentable font style.

By David Connelly

2. Dark silhouette
creates a dramatic
tension towards the
poster.
Logo is a traditional
way of distributing
the title of Batman
that also supports
the silhouette.
Knowing the identity.
The background is
dark colours with
light to support the
figure dramatic
tension. Dark clouds
possibly
foreshadowing
events in the film.
Date of release
underneath the title.
Plain bold text,
nothing too much to
present the poster.
The idea this poster
has given me is the
character standing
on stage, spotlight
on him and a dark
silhouette, holding a
script suggesting
what the person is
doing.

movie site,
advertising the

3. Even though this is
not the same genre
as my short film. The
style of it influences
me with an idea of
how to present my
poster.
Spotlight effect on
the principal
characters. From
above projecting a
over head dramatic
shot. For my idea, a
spotlight on the
main character on
stage.
Font style different
for each section but
use a basic style that
looks neat and
presentable.
Principle names on
top of the title,
telling the audience
who is who.
Release date of the
film.
Sponsoring a old film
to advertise the
making of the new
one from the
distributors.
