Film poster

For my film trailer I am going to create a film poster advertising the film.

Firstly I need to decide which type of film poster I am going to create either a teaser poster a main poster or a blurb poster.

I have chosen to do a Teaser Poster and a main poster.

To give myself a good choice I am going to create two potential film posters, the other two members of my group are also creating posters so we have a really wide selection.

Here are my two poster ideas:

We ended up changing the name of our film during the drawings of these posters. I decided to continue and finish these drafts for planning reasons, but then me and my group members all went on to do one more draft of a film poster with our new name on it "Darkness Awakens"

These are three new Potential film posters:

My final design is a teaser poster. This means it only displays the vital and significant information i did this to make the viewers want to find out more about the film. The teaser poster i have done only displays the 'tagline' the 'star-rating' the 'title' and the main image. The main image is of a house, the hosue is quite vague as we were not fully decided on which house we were going to use. I drew a scary looking house with a wood surrouding as this is the idea of the set we are using. This gives a slight idea of the genre and what the film may be about.

Below the main image it has the star rating. This is important as it will attract people to watch the film if it has a good star rating.

The main title is placed below the main image. This is in the same fontthat i have used for the title on the magazine front cover, this gives it a running theme. This font is again distoreted and jagged. Below the main title is the tag line, I used a different type of wirting for this. It quite circular writing but still holds the theme of creepy.

After a discussion we have decided to go with Ella's final film poster idea. This was because hers contained the most variety and was the clearest. This advertisment is such an important part of promoting the film. So it needs to catch the viewers eye, we felt Ella's poster did this more than the others. We will be using various different programmes to create the actual poster. The next stage is to make the real thing.
