2. Film title
The text chosen for the film
is different for the two
words. Both of the fonts are
quite plain and straight. This
links to the title of the film
as it indicate the structure
of a window. The second
word of the title, Window, is
in a bolder font and looks as
if it has been shattered,
similar to how a window
could be shattered.
3. Actors
Jonny Depp is a well known actor
who is admired by many people. By
placing his name right at the top
and filling out most of the width of
the poster will attract a large target
audience. Depp’s name is very
privileged in the poster. This is a
convention of posters to have the
best known actor separately from
the billing block as it reflects his
status.
4. Main image
The main image is very striking.
It is a close up of the
protagonist with a worried look
on his face as he has his eyes
glaring off to the side. This
leaves questions with the
audience as it tells us he is
looking at something he is afraid
of. This fits in with the thriller
convention and I think this
design will work well when I
come down to designing and
making my own poster.
5. Tagline or slogan
This is an effective tagline as it
relates to the title of the film and
leaves the audience on an elliptic
which will make them want to
watch the film. The tagline will
make the audience think of the
film when they read it as there is a
clear link.
6. Cast and crew
The billing block is a legal
requirement for any film
and includes the actors,
directors, producers and
other key members
involved in making the
film. The names that
appear at the front of the
billing block will have more
of a key role in the
production of the film or if
its an actor, they will have
more screen time on the
film. This insures that the
audience are aware of who
are in the film, then they
can judge if they want to
see it or not.
