Poster Layout/Flat Plan
The document discusses the layout and design process for a movie poster. It describes two initial flat plan designs, one with the film title at the top and pull quote underneath, and another with the title also at the top due to the positioned image. The first design was chosen for the final poster.

Evaluation question 1
The document discusses how the student's horror film trailer, poster, and magazine cover utilize and challenge conventions of real media products in these genres.
The trailer follows horror conventions like building tension through editing and music. It also challenges conventions by using bright lighting in some scenes. The poster features the villain prominently as is common, but reveals her fully rather than keeping her secret. The magazine cover resembles real publications through layout and design elements but challenges conventions through its color scheme and smoke imagery relating to the film's narrative.
Presentation
The document discusses marketing strategies for a film trailer and poster. It recommends that the trailer be between 1 to 1.5 minutes long and use quick cuts to create drama. It suggests the poster have the film title in the middle, a production company logo, dark lighting to make masks stand out, and take inspiration from the poster for the film "Hush". Social media marketing is recommended to reach 15-24 year olds, as is poster advertising to look professional.
Film poster analysis
The film poster depicts the main protagonist with makeup suggesting elegance relating to the film's focus on ballet. However, her face has a crack, implying an underlying psychological element or hidden imperfections. As a "Black Swan", she contrasts with the typical "White Swan" and suggests a darker side to her perfect public image. The large black title and genre imply an element of mystery or darkness surrounding the main character.
Brand identity
The document discusses brand identity, house style, layout, and main image for a magazine cover. It states that the coursework will use 'Empire' magazine as a style guide. It also notes that the layout and main image for a film depends on whether it is more of a horror or not, with horror films getting simpler designs. The masthead and film splash logo are designed to fit the magazine's style while not being directly related.

Evaluation of my film poster
The document discusses the process of creating a film poster. It describes how research helped determine the character positioning, setting, and color scheme.

Character shots are usually long or medium to portray isolation or unease. Credits and release dates are placed at the bottom in smaller font. Film titles dominate in bold, scary fonts matching the narrative. Dark colors like black and red are commonly used with a catchy tagline to hint at the story.
Conventions of film openings
Film openings typically include certain conventions:
1) The film's ident and/or title credits are usually the first things shown to identify the film and set the genre/mood through color and font choices.
2) Establishing shots are often used early on to provide context of the film's location and hint at the narrative.
3) Key characters may be introduced early to focus audience attention and signal their importance to the story.
Two detailed analysis of a promotional package from your groups chosen Genre.
The document analyzes and compares the promotional materials for the films "Inception" and "Kill Bill", including teaser posters, main posters, and magazine covers. For each promotional item, key details are described such as images of characters, slogans, and information provided to intrigue audiences. Overall, the analysis finds that more information is typically included in main posters compared to teaser posters. Magazine covers also aim to attract broad audiences through provocative wording and eye-catching visuals related to the films.
Conventions of film posters and analysis
The document outlines conventions for film posters, including that the image is the main focus and should attract attention. It will relate to the genre and feature prominent actors. The title is also a key element. Other common elements are the release date, production company, quotes or taglines, and details on actors. Examples are provided of Harry Potter, Black Swan, and Avengers Assemble posters that demonstrate these conventions.
The maze runner poster analysis
The poster depicts the main character leading a group of people away from a massive, seemingly endless maze in the background. The maze suggests the characters will have to use intellect to escape a dangerous situation quickly. Additional text explains that the film is based on a bestselling novel, potentially drawing in existing fans. The poster aims to intrigue audiences with the mystery of the maze and promote the unique concept of escaping such a labyrinth.
Research presentation
The document discusses conventions for film trailers and ancillary materials like posters and magazines. It provides details on conventions for horror genres specifically, such as using low key lighting, isolated settings, and handheld cameras. It also discusses using a brand identity, bleak colors, and showing the release date. The document then analyzes survey results from its target audience of older teens and plans to incorporate elements they preferred like dramatic pauses and low key lighting into its horror trailer and ancillary materials.
Film Poster Codes and Conventions
This is my powerpoint for Film Poster Codes and Conventions that I am using for my research and planning in my Media Studies A2 Course at Sixth Form Year 13.
Evaluation Question 2
This document discusses the purpose and design of film posters. It analyzes the poster created for a 5-minute student short film called "Scarlett" about two lovers whose relationship is disrupted when the female lead loses her vision in an accident. The poster uses a black and white photo of the distressed female lead to represent her colorless life, while the male lead is in color but also looks sad. Only the two main characters are featured to focus attention. The font and background park scene were chosen to match the film's romantic drama genre and tone. Magazine reviews for the film were kept simple with large cast photos to provide key information visually.

Film poster research
The document discusses different types of film posters and their conventions. Thriller posters focus on main characters with dark color schemes and serious expressions. Horror posters provide clues about the film's events and have gloomy images. Comedy posters show comical character expressions and taglines. Action posters feature heroic main characters against background settings and often include weaponry. Posters are displayed publicly to promote films and attract wide audiences through mysterious images, fonts, and colors that intrigue viewers. Release dates, credits, taglines, and images of key characters or objects are typical poster conventions that may differ based on genre.
Film poster
Film posters occupy a space between art and advertising, with the clear commercial purpose of promoting films but also having artistic value. Key elements of effective posters include images of the main characters and settings to depict the story, along with the film title, actors' names, and designs/colors that reflect the film's mood. By analyzing posters, one can better understand how they grab viewers' attention and sell the film's story.
Conventions of horror posters( Drag me to hell, The Exorcist, Insidious)
The document discusses conventions of horror movie posters through analyzing posters for the films Drag Me to Hell, The Exorcist, and Insidious. It examines elements like the use of a female protagonist, minimalistic designs that encourage imagination, taglines that intrigue audiences, and iconography that conveys darkness and evil through colors and lighting. Key aspects that provide insight into the plot and set an ominous tone are identified, such as facial expressions, background settings, and hints that the threat is supernatural rather than grounded in reality. Common lower-level design elements like billing codes are also addressed.
Print products
Both magazine covers follow conventions of the horror genre through their use of dark colors like red, black and white. They both feature the main characters from the featured films looking directly at the viewer. The Entertainment Weekly cover primarily focuses its sell lines on Scream 4, while the Empire cover includes additional sell lines about other popular films and stars to appeal to a wider audience. Both covers are designed to attract readers by prominently featuring and providing information about the new horror film releases.

- 1. • This poster conforms to a typical horror film movie poster as there is chiaroscuro lighting as well main colours on the poster being quite. • The main character is shown on the poster, which conforms to a typical film poster. • The clown on the side of the film poster conforms to a typical film poster. • The name of the film is presented on the bottom of the poster. As well as this, it is also the biggest font on the page, so that we know what film is called. • We can tell that the poster is film poster because it doesn’t have a clear release date of when the film is to be released as well as the film credits. • As the poster is teaser, it maybe presented on billboards as well as bus stops. • The film is a supernatural horror and is therefore rated PG 13, which shows that it is suitable for a generally young audience which most horror films might not do.
- 2. • The layout design of the poster is dark and sticks to a maximum of 2 colours on the poster itself. This shows that this film is a horror film. • The font of the poster is quite bold therefore is would make the reader able to see it clearly as well as appealing to them. • Also the title is quite bold and big, which makes it appealing to the reader. • It is a teaser poster as it doesn’t give anything of the film away such as the when the film is to be released. • The campaign of the poster would more or less be on bus stops as it would make people aware of the film and that it would be released soon. • The lighting of the film is quite low lighting, showing that it is taken in the night.
