The document describes the process and rationale behind creating a movie poster and review for a short comedy film. Key elements included:
- Using images that represented the differing viewpoints of the two main characters.
- Choosing fonts and layouts that conveyed the intended tone and attracted the target teenage audience.
- Employing a color scheme of black and yellow to mirror the clashing personalities of the characters.
- Including contact information like logos and social media addresses to provide additional information to viewers.
- Creating several drafts and getting feedback to improve the poster and review.
2. ANCILLARY TASK
I made many drafts of my review and posters. I showed these drafts to my teachers and they told me how I could
improve my work. I researched into different poster and comedy reviews to get ideas from. These are my final copies
of both review and poster. When making these we had to take into account all the work that links to these and make
them accordingly. Had to make sure it was aimed at the target audience.
3. IMAGES
I used this image in my poster because it summed up my short This image was used in my review decided to use this
film the best. In the picture you can see our protagonists sitting image because again it showed the protagonists different
together but they are giving off very different vibes from one views on the situation. One seems to be enjoying there
another. This is why I used this picture in my poster because it time whilst the other looks on in despair and sadness. This
represents the 2 ways in which of the characters are connotes with the storyline of my film as in it characters

7. MEETING GENRE (COMEDY)
My poster image represents my genre very well. My
age shows both my protagonist sitting down on the
sofa. Both are feeling different as you can se from there
facial expression. Kevin looks very uncomfortable and
troubled in this picture. On the other hand Sasha
seems be very happy. You can see Kevin leaning away
form Sasha as she tries to hug him. This picture links
very well with my attempt if making a comedy because
you can already see the altercation/problem they have.
I in the film expand on the this to make it funny. This
speech bubbles on my picture also help give off this
image to my viewers. The speech bubbles show my
characters thoughts and feelings. You can see both
characters have such different thoughts to one another.
The outfits that my characters wear connotes with the
age I'm trying to reach too. Both characters wearing
school clothes. Making my characters the name age as
my target audience make it easier for the audience to
associate themselves to the characters. This makes
them more interested in my short film. Another reason
why I chose my characters to wear these costumes is
because my storyline is more likely to happen my
characters age.
8. COLOUR SCHEME

9. LOGOS/ADDRESSES
At the bottom of my poster I put my logo and facebook/twitter address. This was if
people wanted to get more information about my short film that wasn't on the poster
they are able too. Another reason I put this technology is forever improving and people
are becoming more fond of it. Especially my target age so I though this would be a
good gap in the market for a wider advertising range. These methods of requiring
information have become easier and more efficient to use
10. CONCLUSION
I think that I have successfully achieved my goals in my poster and review. The collective use of colour,
imagery and creativity combined together helped in making my pieces of work appealing to my target
group.
