Poster

For my film poster I will be using the same image as I have chosen for my final magazine cover. Most films use their poster to put on the front of magazine covers so I will follow the same format. For my first idea I thought I would keep the poster very plain, so I just added the release date and the films name. I will now show the first draft to a few people and get some advice on how to improve my poster.

Everyone I showed the poster to, said that they really liked it and its good fairly plain. However they said that there should be cast names and that kind of stuff. which I had seen in my research but decided that they weren't as important as I didn't have any headline actress or actresses.

 I have chosen to listen to what my critics have said and I have now added cast names and my film company logo. I will get a few opinions on this draft and see if it is now complete.

 My main critic for looking at my second draft was a media teacher which was very beneficial as she knows a lot about posters. My other critics made similar points, however she was more precise. They said that the cast names look weird as they are and the names can be made up as it looks a bit strainge having three of the main cast with the same second name. They also said that the company logo doesn't look right where it is currently positioned and maybe it should be next to the date. 

 After making the extra changes I have changed the surnames of the cast so that it looks better and I have put the company logo next to the date, however I had to fade it into the tree as it looked weird in block format.

  I am hoping that this is the final time I will need to get people to look at the poster as it looks good and professional now.

 As I expected, the critics thought it was much better and the changes that have been made look much better. They really liked how the company logo was faded into the tree. I am very pleased with the poster and most of the critics where happy with it so i will be using this in my final design.
