This document summarizes the process of creating a film poster and review for an assignment. Key details include:
1) Researching popular film magazines for style inspiration.
2) Choosing three images that convey drama and focus on the main protagonist undergoing pain and torture.
3) Designing the poster with a close-up image showing human struggle and adding a red circle around the character's head to outline them and suggest danger.
4) Selecting fonts that appear edgy, appealing, and readable for both the poster and review.
2. My ancillary tasks
For my assignment I chose to create a poster and film review, when it came to
creating both I had to research further into magazines. For instance popular
magazines would be like Empire and total magazine which further enhanced my
perspective of what my images, texts and font may look like on both the poster
and review.
3. Images Used 2.)
1.)
3.)
When creating my review I chose to incorporate these particular images as they conveyed a sense
of drama and pain which the protagonist goes through. In addition to this I have only used the
main character on the review because the story line focuses and revolves on her.
IMAGE 1: This image illustrates the character is scared, we can easily establish through the use of
a medium shot as her character positioning is crunched up leaning against the wall
IMAGE 2: This image has been used as it shows the character is going thorough physical torture as
we see, she is griping onto the walls which portrays a sense of hurting.
IMAGE 3: This image was created by me as I chose to add my own spin onto the review by
creating an image myself. I chose create the image of a diary as it show different chapters of her
life when she is getting bullied in.
4. Poster
When it came to designing my poster, I came to a decision that the picture above
would be best to used as it shows real human struggle. This particular image also
gives the audience an insight into what they may expect to see for example, pain,
torment and hurt.
I also chose to add a circle around the characters head, as it really outlines the
character and gives off a dramatic feel. In addition to this the colour red could also
symbolise danger which is why I thought this was a good colour to use.
5. Fonts used/ Poster
I have chosen to use this font
which is called Stencil SDas it
gives of an edgy feel which
link in with the name of our
film . I also comes across
appealing on the eye and
looks appealing to the
audience.
I have also chosen to use this particular
font which is comic sans it is also in
capital letter as it stands out and went
well with my images and titles.
6. Fonts used/ Review
The font I have used is comic sans as I
thought it stood out the most and
looked the most appealing. It also was
a clear readable font as no one
struggled when reading the review.
7. Colour Scheme
Key
I have chosen to use the colours yellow, black, red and white. These
particular colours have been selected they convey a sense of pain.
One of the main colours that was used is black, this is because it is a dark
colour which highlights a gloomy atmosphere.
8. Web address
The reason for including my web address was because this allows the viewers to visit the
website themselves and leave comments/feedback.
