Evaluation of my film poster

2. I have found that my research helped me quite a lot to
figure out the positioning of my character and the setting of
the poster. It also helped me find the colour scheme for my
poster (black and white with the main object in colour). I
also used my research to find out about what text to place
on my poster and how to position the information correctly.
When we watched “The Amazing-Spiderman” I took notice
to have the main character look anonymous in my poster
as the main character is in the posters for The Amazing-
Spiderman. I did this by making it so that by making it so
that my character was facing away from the camera giving
them a mysterious look.

3.  In my first draft I felt that I wanted to have my main character
in a forest however it proved to time consuming and awkward
to complete so I decided to use a photo with a relatively clear
background so I could edit it out with ease and replace my
own sky/background. I also had to change the colour of the
font to suit the background and I also had to make quite a
few alterations to the foreground and the poster billing to
make them stand out from the vibrant and bright background
scenery. To make these stand out I made the middle ground
extremely bland and boring compared to the fore and
background. This is to make it stand out and also create an
air of mystery upon the poster.

4.  My film poster follows most of the usual conventions of a
poster. However I made a few twists to it making it more
dark/gritty and realistic. I also made sure to make the main
character facing the action and/or have an over shoulder
shot of the main character. I have also made it so that all
attention is drawn towards the main character by making him
the only object in colour on the poster other than the text.
Another thing that I did was make my poster title not match
the happenings in the actual poster like films such as “Wolf
of wall Street” and “Wild Hog”. I also made it so that my
poster fas mostly black and white this is a common theme
among action movie posters.

5.  My poster appeals to my target audience by making it
look slightly more serious that other more child like
action film. This would appeal to an older generation of
people by making it seem more of a serious
atmosphere. I also made my poster appeal to my target
audience by making it look quite similar to other posters
that have been used to promote darker super hero films
like batman and others. The main character is also
around the same age as my target audience making the
character relatable to the target audience.

6.  I think that my finished film poster was quite successful
as it has included quite a lot of the main aspects of an
action poster and also looked like an actual film poster
and had followed most if not all of the main conventions
for the genre that I was trying to portray. However I also
believe that could have improved my poster my adding
more logos onto my poster because at this moment in
time I only have the single marvel logo on my poster
making it very bland when you look towards the bottom
of the poster.
