The document analyzes two movie posters. Both posters include the movie title, stars, and a quote to intrigue viewers. Poster 1 also includes a 5-star rating and black and white background photo that does not clearly depict the genre. Poster 2 similarly includes the stars and a quote, along with a black and white photo of characters' backs. The document discusses achieving brand identity through consistent fonts and photos. It also notes conventions used like quotes, titles, and stars to attract attention. The document recognizes further skills need developing, like using programs beyond Publisher, and plans to practice more with programs like Fireworks.

Tasks

2. One Step Too Far

3. Poster 1The Title.
The title does not
stand out but it is at
the top of the page
so is the first thing
you read and see.
This lets the
audience know that
this is the title.
Star Rating. This is just
under the title so that the
audience can see straight away
that the film is 5 star so
therefore will be good to watch
and grab more viewers.
Picture. The
background picture is off
two hands. The image
does not give much away
to the audience as you
can see no faces or
colour as the picture is
in black and white. You
are not able to tell from
this that the film is a
thriller as the picture
does not look scary.
Quote. There is a
quote which obviously
relates to the film. It
is written so that the
audience wonder what
it could mean so
therefore watch the
film to find out. It is
in the centre of the
poster so that it is un
miss able.
Star Names. Big
star names are written
here in big writing so
that it attracts the
audience’s attention as
they are able to see it
clearly and will then
make them want to
watch the film as they
like the actor/actress
starred in it.
Small Print. This
is the small print of the
film and the poster, which
is usually on a lot of
posters.

4. Poster 2
The Title.
This is at the top
of the page so that
it is the first thing
people see when
they look at the
poster. Again the
title is not very big
nor eye catching
but it is the
biggest piece of
writing on the
screen so you are
drawn to it.
Quote. Just
underneath the
title is the quote.
This is so that it is
the second thing
the audience
reads. Hopefully
this will grab their
attention and they
will be intrigued to
know what it
means so therefore
they will watch the
film.
Star Names. Big
star names are written
here in big writing so
that it attracts the
audience’s attention as
they are able to see it
clearly and will then
make them want to
watch the film as they
like the actor/actress
starred in it.
Small Print. This
is the small print of the
film and the poster, which
is usually on a lot of
posters.
Picture. The
picture is off two
characters in the film.
The fact the characters
have their back to the
audience will make
them intrigued and
male them watch the
film to find out who
they are. Also the
picture is in black and
white which again
doesn’t say much about
the film, as it doesn’t
really look like a
thriller.
Star Rating. The audience
are able to see the film is 5 star
so therefore will be good to watch
and grab more viewers. Review. The audience are able to see a well known
newspaper have left a good review which means the film
will be most likely good to watch and will grab more
viewers.

5. To what extent have you
achieved brand identity?
I have achieved brand identity as I have
included the same font throughout the
whole of the posters, this makes it
effective as the audience will begin to
recognise the style of the writing with
the film and that is how it becomes well
known. I have also included black and
white photos in both posters as I am
trying not to give too much of the film
away.

6. What conventions of real media
texts have you used?
I have used the same quote within both posters
and the fact that it is the same will make the
audience recognise my film. I have also
included the title, and star names this is so
that the audience see who is starring in the film
and may grab more of their attention. I have
included the 5 star rating and reviews so that
the audience are aware with how good the film
is. And I have included the small print of
writing as real media texts usually have a small
print paragraph at the bottom of their poster.

7. How did you use and develop your technical and
production skills to achieve effects? What skills do
you need to develop further? How will you do this?
I made the posters on publisher as I felt that was the
programme I was most confident with. I used my basic
knowledge to include an image and text but unfortunately
that was all I was able to achieve as my knowledge of
anything further and more technical is limited. I used my
creative skills to arrange the positions of the information
and images around the page so that it looked eye catching
towards an audience. From my research I was able to add
relevant information which would normally be advertised
on a poster and also what the audience would like to
know. To develop further I will need to gain new skills on
different programmes for example ‘Fireworks’ as that is a
good programme for creativity with posters. To learn more
about ‘Fireworks’ I will go on the programme more
regularly and practise with other things so that I can get
the hang of it.
