3. USE
• For my film poster, I used a similar positioning to that of The
Cabin In The Woods. I put my images, credits and title in the
same areas as well as making it portrait orientated. This suits
my image well as it creates suitable boarders for my main
focus and makes the whole poster work together as an image.
• I took the positioning of my star names from the House at the
End of the Street as well as the way I blended my large image
of a character into the background of my poster.
5. DEVELOP
• I developed images by using three of my characters instead of just one like in the
House at the End of the Street. This is because, I felt, that it projected more clues
towards our intended narrative and created stronger links to my trailer and
magazine cover.
• I also developed the positioning of my slug line and release date so that there was
a higher focus on key areas of my magazine, such as my title and main focus. I also
made sure my tagline was on top so that it worked with me image instead of being
separated from it.
• I also developed the background idea from The Cabin In The Woods by using
strings of numbers that I used the colour burn blending option to layer them over
my photographs, tying the page together.
• I also added my production and distribution logos to each side of my credits
instead of positioning them underneath the credits. This helps to emphasise them
and attract the eye.
7. CHALLENGE
• I challenged the posters I have studied by using a red filter over the entire image
so that my colour scheme of red, grey and black is clear. This links the poster to
my magazine cover effectively and projects my genre.
• I used a bulky font that I added various textures to for my title “Eye Spy”. I used
things such as old newspaper texts and images of trees to show the combination
of the woods and technology that is present throughout my film trailer.
• I included some sequences of numbers with the “overlay” blending option to
project the theme of technology to my target audience.
