2. Large heading to catch peoples attention Our hero Valentine taking himself too seriously as per usual Offering give-aways to attract buyers Small snippets of information from the interview to attract buyers Info about what else is in the magazine, i.e. articles on other films I decided I would use my poster as well as a classmate's as this adds extra synergy price/issue/date etc. Bar code adds realism Subheading contains both actor's real name and character name MAGAZINE COVER DECONSTRUCTION
3. Title of the film, big bold letters Reviews from critics/magazines - realism Actors names – always needed in a real film poster Release date I made valentine bigger to show that he is the main good guy Bright colours indicate that this will be a light hearted film The comedic tag line again shows the genre of the film This text has appears in most film posters, and it gives the poster a more real feel Lesser protagonist made smaller POSTER DECONSTRUCTION
4. SIMILARITIES BETWEEN ANCILARY TASKS AND TRAILER Still from the trailer Section of the poster I thought it would be best to use a line similar to what is in our trailer because it is then instantly recognisable that the two texts go together
5. Still from the trailer My poster As you can see I took the Valentine's Day logo from our trailer and edited it for my poster. I extended it on all sides and made the colours brighter, so as to indicate it is a comedy film.
6. Section of my magazine Section of my poster To make my promotional package even more real I decided that I would use both the protagonist's actor's names as relationships between stars are often publicised in Hollywood.
