analysis of my poster progress at A2 media

1. Poster analysis
First draft
After analysing several posters in class and at home
we were given the task of creating our own, to begin
I attempted two rough drafts on paper
These needed to include the
conventions of a film poster such as:
title, cast, billing block, date, a motto
and website. Some are present in the
poster on the right while the rest are
present on the left.

2. photo shoot
After this I needed to take a variety of photos of the
main actor, as one draft shows a split personality to
him I decided to organize the photo shoot and have
him bring a change of clothes so that his different
personalities were more obvious. Below are some
examples of photos taken.
An example of his positive personality
An example of his negative personality

3. First computer draft
development
After the first draft and photo shoot I took evidence
of the development stage of my first draft.
I began by adding all
of the text and
conventions from the
draft but had to
change the original
image idea because
merging the two
faces into one
created a distorted
image. After this first
draft we reviewed
the posters in class
before making
changes for a second
draft.
