This is my final film poster! I am quite pleased with how it turned out. The rose in the background makes it look quite professional as it lets the image figure on the foreground stand out more than the original image I would have used. It makes it more subtle I feel compared to the grey dull background which would have spoilt the poster if the rose wasn’t added in. I got my sister and one of her friends to help me decide on the font colour and style. They came up with purple as it is still a darkish colour setting with the mood of the film but yet it can be uplifting at the same time. I was going to have font without the brackets on the letters and just plain and simple but I then re-evaluated the situation and realised it looked better if it looked a bit like Times New Roman. My audience feedback from ‘The Times’ is simple and suong words to describe the film to draw the audience into the ‘emotional’ impact. Like every other film poster, the lead role first names are usually smaller than the surname. But I thought in my case, I am going to make the first names better as I think the womans names are stronger than the last names. Going back to Laura Mulvey’s theory on a feminist outlook. I want to change how the usual rules are set on a film poster.My web adress and release date is below my billing line which contains the cast names and director and so on. My strap line contains the previopus film the director produced which I put instead of something snappy about the film as I dont want to reveal a lot through my film poster. I think I have produced the expectations I wanted to portray to my target auadience.
After gathering my sisters friends around the computer, they started discussing what is being showed through the poster and they all came to agreement that the title is really important and it is quite bold on my poster. Another thing discussed was the rose..they asked if it was something meaningful int the film where I told them to wait until they view the short film when completed. So I have acheived my aspects I wanted from my target audience questioning about the short film and especially the rose.
