The document describes the process of creating a film poster. It includes 6 screenshots showing: 1) The countryside background image chosen to suit the family film genre. 2) The main image of a dog, which is the main character, with a blurred edge to blend into the background. 3) Adding a black outline to the main image to make it stand out against the background. 4) Adding a smaller masthead to identify the film title and allow the main image to stand out. 5) Including a skyline and tagline at the top to make the poster look legitimate and interesting. 6) Finally, adding billing information and social media links at the bottom to provide more

The background is of the country side where I filmed
my film trailer. I thought that the countryside
background made the poster look dreamlike and it
also suits the family film genre, as children like to be
in the fields.

I then edited my image to have a blurred edge to make
the dog blend in with the background. The main
image is of the dog as the dog is the main character
in the film trailer. So putting her on the cover will
draw the attention of the younger children as
children love dogs.

I needed to add a black outline to the image to make
the image stand out against the background. The
outline adds depth to the image.

9. Screenshot 4: Masthead
I added a masthead to my film poster to show what the
film is called. I wanted to make my poster masthead
smaller than my image to make the image stand out.
Mastheads are usually smaller than the image.

I added a Skyline; ‘No other relationship could be
stronger’ I added this at the top of my poster to make
the poster look legitimate and interesting. The
tagline, Coming to you in December…. The direct
address tells the audience when the film is going to
be out.

I then added my billing block which has thin text,
which interlinks with existing film posters. I also
added Facebook and Twitter links to show the
audience where they can get more information. As
media develops more young people will want to look
at films on social networking sites etc. So by
addressing the needs I have made the poster look
legitimate and have also enhanced my audiences
needs.

14. Film poster Final.
Looking at the overall look of my film
poster, I can see that the poster look
professional as all the conventions look
In place. The image looks professional
with the black outline to break up the
image and background.
